Understanding Implant Restorations

                                      We accept all implant systems

         ***Always submit an x-ray to ensure proper placement at record***

                             Of course, due to the type of implant system and the placement, preferences can be limited. That’s why your Colonial Dental Laboratories design team will be able to determine what implant restoration is best for each individual patient.

Screw Retained with Ti- Base - (Premanufactured) 

• Manufactured to different heights and fixed geometry. Standard sizes to fit individual needs.
• Can be most cost effective and require less chair time at delivery.
• Recommended mostly for posterior crowns.
• Provides life-like emergence profile.
• Fabricated to seat over the Ti base and is luted over a Key Lock  Ti base with Bond cement.

Angled Screw Retained Channel Abutment - (Limited Implant System)

• Provides the option to place the screw access hole anywhere between 0-25 degrees in a 360 radius. You DO need a specific star driver for each implant system.
• This helps improve the esthetics of the crown by giving you the option when coming toward the facial or incisal edge, you can angle more towards the occlusion/lingual.

Cement Retained Custom Abutment - (Custom Made) 

• Made Custom to your patients needs, according to your specifications. (ie; emergence profile, height, margin placement)
• Helps to achieve the ideal of a full body abutment for strength and healthy soft tissue contours and crown esthetics.
• Custom Ti-Abutments do take longer to fabricate, as this is custom made for each patient.

Screw-Mentable Custom Ti-Abutment -  (Fabrication of a Custom Abutment and crown w/Access hole)

• Cemented in the lab (optional)
• Includes the benefits and support of a Custom Ti-Abutment and retrievability of Screw Retained.
• Supports all major implant platforms.
