Dr. Jack Hahn’s Tapered Implant Journey
Insisting on Innovation
Why Another Implant System?
Only by constantly improving our tools and techniques can we hope to reach the growing number of patients who benefit from this superior form of oral rehabilitation.

Given the immense popularity and success rates of implants Dr. Hahn has developed in the past, some have asked him, “Why not leave well-enough alone?” But he is not one to rest on his laurels. With more clinicians learning to place implants and more patients embracing this form of treatment, Dr. Hahn wanted to create a system that makes the process simpler, safer, and more predictable — at a cost that the average patient can afford.
How to Bring the New Design to Life?
After meeting with Jim (Glidewell), it was clear that we shared the same goal of expanding the availability of high-quality treatment to more patients.

The search for a manufacturing partner led Dr. Hahn to some of the same engineering personnel and business leaders with whom he had successfully collaborated in the past, now employed by Prismatik Dentalcraft, the ISO-certified manufacturing division of Glidewell.
