Custom Dental Implant Laboratory Services in Utah

Peak Dental Studio’s implant laboratory specializes in custom abutment fabrication and implant crowns for dental practices throughout Utah. Our experienced technicians understand the unique requirements of implant dentistry, delivering precise components that integrate seamlessly with all major implant systems.

Whether you place single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, or full-arch restorations, our laboratory provides the custom components and expertise your practice needs. We work with Nobel Biocare, Straumann, BioHorizons, Zimmer Biomet, and dozens of other implant platforms, ensuring compatibility regardless of your preferred system.

Custom Abutment Fabrication for All Major Implant Systems

Custom abutments represent the gold standard for implant restorations, offering superior aesthetics and tissue management compared to stock components. Peak Dental Studio fabricates custom abutments in titanium, zirconia, and gold-hue titanium, selecting materials based on each case’s specific aesthetic and functional requirements.

Our dental implant laboratory uses advanced CAD/CAM technology to design abutments with ideal emergence profiles that support healthy peri-implant tissue. Proper emergence profile design prevents tissue blanching, creates natural-looking contours, and provides the foundation for aesthetic implant crowns that appear to emerge naturally from the gingiva.

Zirconia abutments offer the ultimate in anterior aesthetics, eliminating the gray shadow that can show through thin gingival tissue with titanium components. Our laboratory fabricates zirconia abutments with proper contouring and minimal bulk, ensuring strength without compromising the space available for optimal crown contours.

Titanium abutments provide maximum strength for posterior applications and cases involving heavy occlusal forces. Peak Dental Studio’s titanium abutment fabrication uses grade 5 titanium alloy, delivering the mechanical properties needed for long-term implant success while maintaining biocompatibility and osseointegration.

Implant Crown Options and Materials

Our implant crown laboratory offers the same comprehensive material selection available for natural tooth restorations. Zirconia implant crowns provide exceptional strength and aesthetics for both anterior and posterior applications, while lithium disilicate delivers superior translucency for demanding anterior cases.

PFM implant crowns remain an excellent choice for posterior restorations where cost-effectiveness and proven durability are priorities. Our laboratory fabricates PFM implant crowns with proper contours and occlusion that protect the implant investment while restoring full function.

For screw-retained restorations, we design crowns with optimal access hole placement that allows for retrievability while maintaining strength. Our technicians plan access holes in locations that minimize aesthetic impact, typically on lingual or occlusal surfaces where composite filling material blends naturally.

Screw-Retained vs. Cement-Retained Restorations

The choice between screw-retained and cement-retained implant restorations involves multiple considerations, and Peak Dental Studio’s implant laboratory supports both approaches. Screw-retained restorations offer retrievability advantages, simplifying maintenance and allowing access to implant components if complications arise.

Cement-retained implant crowns provide aesthetic benefits by eliminating access holes entirely, though they sacrifice easy retrievability. Our laboratory fabricates cement-retained crowns with ideal contours and retention features that ensure stable seating while allowing removal if necessary.

For many cases, we recommend the screw-cement technique, where custom abutments receive cementation to implant analogs outside the mouth, then the abutment-crown assembly screws into place intraorally. This hybrid approach combines the aesthetic benefits of cementation with the retrievability of screw retention.

Implant-Supported Bridge Solutions

Multi-unit implant bridges require specialized planning and fabrication techniques that account for implant angulation, framework design, and material selection. Peak Dental Studio’s dental implant laboratory produces implant bridges that distribute occlusal forces appropriately while maintaining the aesthetics patients expect.

For full-arch implant restorations, we fabricate both fixed hybrid dentures and screw-retained bridges in various materials and designs. Our All-on-4 and All-on-6 restorations use CAD/CAM-designed frameworks that ensure passive fit—critical for long-term implant health and prosthetic success.

Zirconia full-arch bridges provide exceptional strength and aesthetics for patients seeking fixed solutions with natural appearance. Our laboratory mills monolithic or layered zirconia frameworks that resist fracture while creating the illusion of individual teeth emerging from gingival tissue.

Digital Workflow for Implant Restorations

Peak Dental Studio’s digital implant laboratory workflow accepts scan files from all major scanner systems. Digital impressions for implant cases eliminate many of the accuracy issues associated with traditional impression techniques, particularly for multiple-implant cases where analog location becomes critical.

Our digital workflow includes virtual implant planning capabilities, allowing us to design abutments and crowns that account for implant position, angulation, and emergence. This planning helps identify potential issues before fabrication begins, reducing remakes and ensuring optimal results.

For practices using impression copings rather than scan bodies, we scan your physical models into our digital system, providing the same design and fabrication benefits. Regardless of how cases arrive at our laboratory, they benefit from digital precision and efficiency.

Compatible Implant Systems

Peak Dental Studio maintains an extensive library of implant platform specifications, ensuring compatibility with virtually every implant system available. Our most commonly fabricated systems include:

Nobel Biocare: Active, Replace, Branemark, NobelActive, and N1 platforms

Straumann: Tissue Level, Bone Level, BLT, and BLX implants

BioHorizons: Internal and External hex, Tapered Internal

Zimmer Biomet: 3i, Certain, SwishActive, and TSV platforms

Hiossen: ET, EB, and CM systems

Neodent: GM, CM, Helix systems

If you work with a system not listed here, contact our laboratory. We likely support your platform or can quickly add it to our digital library.

Implant Restoration Process and Timeline

Our standard turnaround time for custom abutments and implant crowns is two business days from case receipt. This timeline includes custom abutment fabrication, crown fabrication, and thorough quality control inspection of all components.

For complex cases requiring custom shade matching, layered porcelain, or specialized components, we may need an additional day. Our case coordinators communicate expected delivery during case intake, ensuring you can schedule patient appointments with confidence.

Rush service is available for urgent implant cases, with same-day and next-day options for qualifying cases. Contact our laboratory to discuss rush requirements and ensure your urgent cases receive priority handling.
