TruBridge is changing the face of dental restorations with its ultra-light, Zirconia-strong, teeth-only dental bridge at a fraction of the cost of other prostheses, both in the U.S.A. and abroad.
While our future is panoramic, did you know that TruBridge also has a pioneering past?
The TruRidge Preservation Process SM employs the industry-leading Tapered Titanium Implants invented by true, dental industry pioneer, Dr. Jack Hahn.
Dr. Hahn has been placing and developing dental implants for more than 45 years. His innovations, including the original tapered implant, have played a key role in making implant therapy the predictable mode of treatment it is today.
The product of his experience performing thousands of restorations, the original Hahn Implant formed the foundation for the tapered implant the doctor considered his crowning achievement — and which quickly became an industry standard for the “state-of-the-art” in dental implantology.
A Historic Partnership
The entirety of the Hahn implant protocol as a total system was brought to life when Dr. Hahn shared his vision with Glidewell Laboratories. It was through this historic collaboration, pairing unparalleled design with world-class engineering and manufacturing, that the complete Hahn Tapered Implant System was born.
The Hahn Tapered Titanium Implant features:
- A conical prosthetic connectionfor excellent seal, stability and strength
- A color-coded platform for matching restorative components. Each implant has its own custom toolkit, individually matched for precision.
- The Titanium surface, a proven Reservable Blast Media (RBM) surface, is produced with proprietary processing to promote osseointegration.
- The tapered body is designed for use in anatomically constricted areas and features coronal micro threadsfor crestal bone preservation. The sharp, buttress threading provides for strong, primary stability.
A Founding Father of Implantology

He is the recipient of the Aaron Gershkoff Lifetime Achievement Award in implant dentistry and the Venue and LEAD magazine Healthcare Leadership Award. Dr. Hahn was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry in June 2015. He lectures to dentists around the world.
