Implant Restorations
At 1st Choice Dental Laboratory, we specialise in high-quality implant restorations produced using advanced digital workflows and precision-driven manufacturing techniques. As a full-service dental laboratory, we support clinicians with reliable, accurate, and aesthetic implant solutions for single units and complex cases alike. Our digitally driven approach ensures consistent results, efficient turnaround times, and predictable outcomes for both dentist and patient.
Fully Digital Implant Workflow
Our implant restorations are created using an end-to-end digital workflow, incorporating intraoral scans, CAD/CAM design, and precision milling. Digital impressions allow for exceptional accuracy and eliminate many of the inconsistencies associated with traditional methods. Using industry-leading design software, our technicians digitally plan each case with a focus on emergence profile, occlusion, soft tissue support, and restorative space.
This digital process allows us to visualise and control every aspect of the restoration before manufacturing begins, resulting in improved fit, reduced chair time, and fewer adjustments. Whether working from intraoral scans or digitised models, our workflow supports efficient collaboration with clinicians at every stage.
All implant restorations at 1st Choice Dental Laboratory are built around custom abutments, digitally designed to suit the individual implant system and clinical situation. Custom abutments provide superior emergence profiles, improved soft tissue management, and enhanced aesthetics compared to stock components. We work with all major implant and abutment brands, ensuring seamless compatibility regardless of the system used.
For definitive restorations, we offer zirconia implant crowns and ceramic restorations bonded directly to chrome cobalt abutments. Monolithic zirconia crowns are milled for strength, accuracy, and longevity, making them ideal for both anterior and posterior implant restorations. When enhanced aesthetics are required, ceramic layering can be applied to achieve natural translucency and shade integration.
Ceramic bonded to chrome cobalt abutments combines strength with refined aesthetics. Our technicians follow strict digital design and bonding protocols to ensure reliable adhesion, accurate margins, and long-term clinical success.
We produce screw-retained implant restorations designed for retrievability, maintenance, and long-term serviceability. Screw access channels are digitally positioned to minimise aesthetic compromise while ensuring precise seating and secure torque. These restorations are ideal for clinicians prioritising future access and implant maintenance.
Our cement-retained implant crowns are digitally designed with controlled cement spaces and clearly defined margins to support clean seating and predictable results. Cement-retained options offer flexibility in cases with challenging implant angulation or high aesthetic requirements.
For multi-unit cases, we manufacture implant bridge work using digitally designed custom abutments and precision-milled frameworks. From short-span bridges to larger implant-supported restorations, our digital workflow ensures passive fit, structural integrity, and optimal load distribution. Each implant bridge is carefully designed to balance strength, function, and aesthetics, supporting long-term patient comfort and restorative success.
