Custom Abutment

Description

Custom Abutment Design Service

Product brief. Custom Abutment Design is our implant-prosthetics service for one-piece, screw-retained and cementable abutments in titanium or zirconia. Your lab sends the scan with the implant position and connection details; our designers return a manufacture-ready abutment — connection matched to your system, emergence profiled to the soft tissue, screw channel corrected for angulation — within 12–24 hours.

The abutment is where implant restorations succeed or fail: a generic stock abutment fights the tissue, while a properly designed custom abutment supports it. Our designers build every case from the scan and the soft-tissue contour — platform switched or tissue-level per your plan, emergence gradually widened through the peri-implant zone, finish line positioned where your technician wants it, and occlusal geometry set for the screw or cement path you choose.

What is included in every case

• One-piece custom abutments — titanium or zirconia, for cement-retained crowns and bridges
• Screw-retained abutments — with straight or angled screw channels, access corrected where implant position allows
• Multi-unit abutment-level designs — for All-on-X and full-arch screw-retained prostheses
• Hybrid and Ti-base designs — titanium base with zirconia superstructure interface, verified for your Ti-base system
• Emergence profiling — soft-tissue-adapted contours from scan data or your custom healing abutment scan
• Connection verification — anti-rotation, platform match and seating checked against the implant library before export

All major implant systems supported

We work from the built-in libraries of exocad and 3Shape, covering connections from the systems your lab handles daily — including Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Dentsply, Zimmer Biomet, Osstem, Megagen, MIS, Neodent and more. If your system or a third-party Ti-base is not in the library, send the connection scan or spec sheet and we design against it — flagged and verified, never guessed.

What we need from you

• Scan of the implant position (scan body in place) plus opposing arch and bite
• Implant system and connection type — or simply the scan body used
• Restoration plan: cement or screw retention, titanium or zirconia, and finish-line preference
• Soft-tissue contour reference: healing abutment scan or pre-extraction scan where available

Turnaround

Standard custom abutment design is returned within 12–24 hours of case receipt — single abutments often much sooner. Full-arch and multi-unit cases are scheduled with your surgical or delivery date in mind. Urgent case? Send it through with your deadline and we will confirm the schedule before starting.

Why labs outsource custom abutment design to Odontalab

• Designers who check every connection against the library — no mismatches reaching your mill
• Free unlimited minor revisions until the design is approved
• True emergence profiling, not scaled cylinders — healthier peri-implant tissue outcomes
• One design partner for abutments, crowns, bars and splints — fewer vendors to manage
