Our Story
Dr. Michael Lowe, a dedicated dental professional, was inspired to create Tefball after years of dealing with the shortcomings of traditional materials.
Frustrated by the difficulty of removal and the unpleasant odors they produced, Dr. Lowe sought a better solution that met his high standards for patient care, hygiene, and efficiency.
Through his innovation, Dr. Michael Lowe developed Tefball – a product that is not only clean and hygienic but also quick to insert and remove. This breakthrough has transformed dental implant procedures, saving chair time and enhancing outcomes for both patients and dental teams.

Why Tefball?
The need for a product like Tefball came from the lack of a device used to cover the screw access hole when restoring dental implants that is clean, easy to remove, and quick to place. The most common material used today is a cotton pellet, tape, sponge or similar material, all of which are unhygienic, absorb moisture, harbour bacteria, and are hard to remove. We have all experienced this when we access the screw space and are exposed to a smell coming from whatever you are using to cover the access screw. Tefball serves the same purpose as a cotton pellet or similar material - to act as an interface between the screw hole of an implant and composite filling cover. Tefball is the superior choice due to its antimicrobial properties, and ease of insertion and removal, due to its unique physical design, material and durability. Saving you time and money, and providing a better outcome for your patients.
