BioHorizons Unveils SmartShape™ Healers

Innovative Design Promises to Streamline Dental Procedures

BioHorizons, a leading name in dental implant solutions, has announced the launch of its latest product, SmartShape™ Healers. These new anatomically shaped healing abutments represent a significant advancement in dental technology, designed to simplify clinical workflows and enhance the efficiency of dental procedures.

Key Features and Benefits

The SmartShape Healers boast an array of features aimed at improving both the practitioner’s experience and patient outcomes. At the core of their design is an innovative anatomical shape with a scannable surface, allowing for seamless integration with digital dentistry techniques.

Site-specific configurations offer superior gingival contouring, addressing the aesthetic concerns that are often paramount in dental restorations. The streamlined components are engineered to reduce chair time, a benefit that will be appreciated by both dental professionals and patients alike.

Flexibility is another hallmark of the SmartShape Healers. They are compatible with both traditional and digital impression-taking methods, ensuring that dental practices at various stages of technological adoption can benefit from this innovation.

A Step Forward in Restorative Workflow Efficiency

Steve Boggan, President and CEO of BioHorizons, emphasised the significance of this launch, stating: “With the launch of SmartShape Healers, we’re further enhancing restorative workflow efficiency for our dental implant customers.”

Boggan also highlighted how this new product builds upon previous innovations: “SmartShape Healers build on the success of our recent Tapered Pro Conical release, which is our first deep conical connection. These 2 innovations together create an exceptionally streamlined clinical workflow that helps ensure the highest levels of predictability for patients.”

Technical Specifications and Workflow Integration

The SmartShape Healers come in six anatomical profiles, catering to a variety of clinical scenarios. Their matte surface is optimised for scanning, while occlusal markings facilitate proper orientation. The all-metal design ensures reliable seating verification, a crucial factor in achieving precise and predictable outcomes.

BioHorizons has developed a four-step workflow that promises consistent tissue contouring from the healing phase through to the final restoration. This standardised approach aims to simplify the restorative process and improve predictability.

Custom Restorations to Complement SmartShape Healers

In a move that underscores the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive solutions, Vulcan Custom Dental, a subsidiary of BioHorizons, offers custom restorations designed to match the SmartShape Healers. This integration of custom prosthetics with the healing abutments aims to provide a seamless transition from temporary to permanent restorations.

As dental technology continues to evolve, innovations like SmartShape Healers demonstrate the industry’s ongoing efforts to improve patient care and streamline clinical processes. With this launch, BioHorizons reaffirms its position at the forefront of dental implant technology, offering solutions that promise to benefit both practitioners and patients in the quest for more efficient and predictable dental restorations.
