Screw-Retained Occlusal System

Implant restorations secured with an occlusal screw rather than cement, so they can be accessed and maintained without damage.

Overview

Implant crowns and bridges can be attached in two main ways: cemented in place, or secured with a small screw through the biting surface. A screw-retained restoration can be removed and re-seated by your dentist for maintenance or repair without having to cut or destroy the restoration, unlike a cemented one.

The screw access hole is filled with a tooth-colored material after fitting, so it isn't visible in normal use.

Implants and zirconia restorations carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty, plus our 10-year clinic warranty on the treatment.
