Zirconia Screw-Retained Implant Crown
Cement-free, retrievable single-unit implant restorations for Pennsylvania dentists
Horizon Dental Lab fabricates zirconia screw-retained implant crowns for dentists across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Screw-retained restorations solve the most common headaches with cement-retained alternatives — no residual cement migrating into the sulcus, full retrievability for hygiene access, and predictable removal if you need to evaluate soft tissue or address a peri-implant concern.
Why screw-retained over cement-retained
- No residual cement — eliminates a known peri-implantitis etiology
- Retrievable — unscrew, address the issue, re-torque without damaging the crown
- Better hygiene access — patient can be cleaned around the implant interface
- Predictable with limited interocclusal clearance — no cement layer needed
Materials and construction
- Monolithic solid zirconia crown (≈1100 MPa flexural strength)
- Titanium base (Ti-base) connection compatible with major implant systems — Nobel, Straumann, Astra, Zimmer, BioHorizons, Hahn, MIS, and more
- Custom shade matching to adjacent dentition with bench photography support
- Optional facial porcelain layering for high-aesthetic anterior cases
Why dentists send these cases to Horizon
- 5-day average turnaround on standard screw-retained crowns
- DDX digital workflow accepts STL files from intraoral scanners
- Delivered with the prosthetic screw, access channel plugged, ready for placement
- Multi-unit screw-retained bridges and full-arch on the same protocols
Cases we excel at
- Anterior single units where cement cleanup is risky
- Posterior molar and premolar implant crowns
- Cases with limited interocclusal clearance
- Multi-unit screw-retained bridges
- Restorations over Ti-base abutments
