Are Bicon Dental Implants from a Reputible Company?

Question

I had 4 implants in 2009 to secure my denture. In 2012 1 implant below my sinuses broke off. I had bone graphs on the implants closest to my sinuses. I have visited with doctors and they have suggested to remove the implants and replace with 5 in different places with permanent denture screwed to implants. Since this is a failure of the implant, is there any warranty?The implants are titanium, Is there anyway to check to see if there is nickel, as I have a allergy to nickel. Do you have any suggestions?

Bicon is a reputable company.  They are a system that I do not use, but they should have a warranty.  I would go back to the provider who placed them in 2009 and have them evaluate it.  I question the reason for the removal of the other three implants.  If they are integrated and functioning, why remove them to just have other implants placed.

Scott Greenhalgh, DDS · Answer

Dental implants come in many styles, brands and shapes. I find that the key to success with dental implants is to use the right type in the right place. Bicon is somewhat untraditional, but has had success over many years.

	The sinus area is the most difficult place to have implants because the bone is thinner there. 

	It is not likely that there is any Nickel in any dental implant. 

	It's hard to say what the problem might have been with your old implant. It is unlikely that there is a warranty at this point, but each dentist handles this in different ways. 

	As to solving your problem now, if you seem to be hearing the same advice from more than one office, then you are probably on the right track. If you don't like the suggested plan, then visit another implant dentist, until you feel that your reservations have been addressed.

Hi

	The company has been around for a number of years. The implants, while made of Titanium and integrate well, are not very sophisticated and from many prosthodontists I have talked to, have limitations it their restorability. It is not an implant that I personally recommend.

Yes the company is very reputable... They have been in business many years and I use them myself. You check out their website and they have an office in Boston that maybe able to help you out. To my knowledge no nickle good luck

Bicon is a very reputable dental implant company. The implants are placed differently than most others. I use them in situations where patients do not want bone grafts or where anatomy prevents longer implants
