When it may be considered
- Implants placed straight after extraction
- Soft bone
- Cases where immediate temporary teeth are planned, if stability allows
Why a dentist may choose it
- Expanding taper and double-lead threads for grip
- Current version has the TiUltra™ surface
- Four platforms (3.0, NP, RP, WP) from narrow front teeth to molars
How it differs from other Nobel Biocare implants
NobelParallel CC has straight walls and suits routine cases in firm bone. N1 uses a completely different bone-preparation protocol. NobelActive is the choice when grip in soft bone matters most.
Ø3.0 mm NobelActive implants are limited to single front teeth (maxillary lateral and mandibular incisors).

How much does a NobelActive implant cost?

Is NobelActive a good implant?
NobelActive is designed for sockets and soft bone other implants find difficult. It has FDA 510(k) clearance (K202344). Whether it suits you depends on your bone, your treatment plan and your dentist's experience with it.
How do I know if I have a NobelActive implant?
Ask your clinic for your implant passport or the stickers from the implant packaging. They show the brand, system, diameter, length and lot number.
