What the Heck is an Abutment?
Ever heard of a dental implant abutment? This bad boy is a must-have that connects your life-changing implant to the badass crown that'll replace your missing tooth. Here are some types of abutments – the stock, custom, UCLA, and angled – each according to its own rules, made to ensure you receive the perfect fit!
Why's It So Important?
Abutments offer a slew of benefits:
- The Crown's Secret Supporter: They have the little-known but crucial duty of supporting the fake crown that'll take your place.
- The Unbreakable Bond: They create a solid and stable connection between the implant and the crown.
- The Force Transmitter: They transfer biting forces from the crown to the oh-so-strong implant.
- The Shaper: They sculpt the gums around the implant site so it blends seamlessly with its pals.
- The Closest Thing to Real: They facilitate the artificial tooth to perform like a pro, keeping your smile blossoming with pride!
But here's the real tea: Choosing the ideal abutment for your case is vital for the long-lasting success and swoony smiles you deserve.
Our Genius Abutment Selection Process
Picking an abutment is no cakewalk; it requires careful planning and expertise. When you come to us for help, here's what we do:
First, we whip out top-notch digital imaging technology to capture detailed 3D scans of your smile's unique anatomy. This lets us see what's beneath the surface, equipping us with everything we need to craft a perfect little housing for your implant.
Then, we take into account various factors:
- Lay of the Land: The position and angle of the implant post.
- Spacing is Everything: The amount of room between your implant and neighboring teeth.
- Follow the Curve: The shape of your surrounding teeth to keep things organic and stunning.
- Do the Math: Your facial aesthetics and smile line.
- Bite-Check: Your bite and occlusion with the opposite teeth.
With this magical data in hand, we design an impeccably fitting abutment crafted just for you, thanks to CAD/CAM technology. Plus, we'll consider your wants, from metal bases to all-ceramic ones, zirconia or porcelain crowns – the choice is yours!

The location of the missing tooth is super important when picking the ideal dental implant abutment. Trust us, we've got the chops to fix issues in all regions of your grin.

- Power Players: For those heavy-duty premolar spots, we select sturdy abutments to withstand the toughest biting forces.
- Load Support: Molars take the most pressure, so we'll fit them with precision-milled ceramic, gold, or titanium abutments to ensure an optimal, chew-ready bite.

Our Simplified Abutment Process
When you touch down at Lansdowne Family Dental for abutment placement, we've got your back! Here's what you can expect:
- Implant Installed: If you're implant-less, we professionally implant your dental implant to serve as the base for your new smile.
- Rest and Relax: We'll give enough time, generally a few months, for the implant to heal and bonds with the bone – priming it to snuggle with the abutment.
- Abutment Selection: Once your implant is healed, we'll go through the process of handpicking the ideal abutment for your specific case - presenting you with samples to preview the final outcome!
- Abutment Attachment: We securely attach the custom-fabricated abutment to your implant. We sometimes perform this step after fitting a temporary abutment first.
