Bicon Dental Implants

Innovative Short Implants for Limited Bone

At North Mankato Dentistry, it is our goal to offer our patients the best options possible when it comes to dental implant treatment. With that said, our office is happy to offer both Bicon Narrow Dental Implants and Bicon Wide Dental Implants. These types of implants could be an option for you depending on your situation.

During your initial consultation at Southern Minnesota Implant Center, we may recommend one of the Bicon Dental Implant options below.

Bicon Narrow Dental Implants

At North Mankato Dentistry, Dr. Flack or Dr. Schuck may recommend Bicon Narrow Implants for patients with narrow ridges where wider implants cannot be placed. This determination is typically made during your initial consultation.


Bicon has been offering narrow 3.5mm implants since 1985, designed to meet a variety of clinical needs with simplicity and reliability. Narrow implants are most often used to restore missing maxillary lateral incisors or mandibular incisors. The implant’s sloping shoulder design helps preserve crestal bone while creating space for the interdental papillae, resulting in natural-looking gum and smile esthetics.

Bicon Wide Dental Implants

For areas with more available space, Dr. Flack or Dr. Schuck may recommend Bicon Wide Implants. Like narrow implants, this decision is made after a comprehensive consultation and evaluation of your treatment needs.


Bicon’s wide implants provide the same simplicity-driven design and restorative flexibility while allowing for greater support and stability. Their design also supports gingival esthetics, offering a natural look that blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth and gums.
