About OCO Biomedical, Inc.
Established in 1976 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, OCO Biomedical, Inc. is a privately-owned dental implant company. In addition to the Company’s vast network of practitioners using OCO products in the United States, the Company has an international network of distributors located in Asia, Central and South America, Europe and the Caribbean. OCO Biomedical, Inc. is a proven world leader in creating and supplying patented, brand-name dental implant products, technology and AGD-Pace CE accredited education and training in North America.
For four decades, OCO Biomedical maintains the position of an industry-recognized leader in constantly evolving dental implant research and development.  At the forefront of OCO’s innovative complete implant solutions approach is the patented dual stabilization of the OCO implant. This patented process locks the implant into the surgical site. As a result, the OCO implant can be loaded immediately or early. Once this load occurs, the unique biomechanically active design of the OCO implant allows for the micro-stimulation of bone, which should have a positive effect on healing by increasing the speed of remodeling and apposition of bone around the implant.  OCO Biomedical, Inc. is the implant company that provides complete implant solutions allowing practitioners to serve effectively their patients, while simultaneously building practice performance.
