Home / Restorations

Every restoration your practice prescribes.

Fixed, implant, removable and full-arch work from one lab, held to one standard, with one team to call. Each section covers indications, prep and scan notes, and exactly what to send.

Technician applying custom shade to a crown on a model

Crown & bridge

All-ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal and full-cast options, so the material can follow the tooth, the clearance and the patient rather than the other way round. Custom shading is available on request.

All-ceramic crowns

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM)

Full-cast crowns

Veneers and anteriors

Diagnostic wax-ups

PMMA temporaries

When to use it

Single crowns on vital or endodontically treated teeth with enough remaining structure
Short-span fixed bridges on sound, well-supported abutments
Anterior esthetic cases: veneers, crowns and custom-shaded units
PMMA temporaries for longer-term provisionals or to trial esthetics and occlusion
A diagnostic wax-up before irreversible prep on esthetic or multi-unit cases

Prep and scan notes

A clear, continuous margin you can see 360°. Retract and control bleeding before you scan or impress
Reduction to suit the material you prescribe. If clearance is tight, tell us and we will suggest a material that fits
Capture full contacts on both adjacent teeth, the full opposing arch and a stable bite
For anteriors, send a pre-op scan or photo if you want the existing form copied

What to send

Rx with tooth numbers, restoration type and material, or write lab to advise
Shade, with incisal and cervical notes where they differ
Prep scan or impression, opposing and bite registration
Shade photos with the tab in frame for esthetic cases

Implant restorations

Screw-retained and cemented implant crowns on custom-made abutments. Tell us the system and platform up front and we confirm component compatibility before any work starts.

Screw-retained implant crowns

Cemented implant crowns

Custom-made abutments

Case planning and consultation

When to use it

Screw-retained where the access hole lands in a usable spot and retrievability matters
Cemented where angulation would put the access hole through a facial or functional surface
Custom abutments to control emergence profile, margin depth and angle correction

Prep and scan notes

Seat the scan body fully and confirm it is the right one for the system and platform. Take a radiograph if you are unsure
If you have shaped the soft tissue, scan the emergence profile before you place the scan body
For analog cases, use impression copings suited to the case (open or closed tray) and send any analogs you have
Include the full opposing arch and a bite

What to send

Implant manufacturer, system, platform and diameter
Tooth site, plus screw-retained or cemented preference
Abutment preference, or lab to advise
Shade, scan or impression, opposing and bite

Full-arch model being scanned in the laboratory

All-on-X / full arch

Implant-supported full-arch prostheses designed for comfort and a natural look. These cases go best when we plan them together before surgery, so call the lab early.

Implant-supported full-arch prostheses

Case planning and in-practice consultation

CAD/CAM design from scan data

When to use it

Edentulous arches or failing dentitions planned for a fixed, implant-supported prosthesis
Cases where the patient needs a predictable path from surgery to a final arch

How the case runs

A planning call with a technician before surgery to agree the stages
Records: implant positions, bite at the agreed vertical dimension and esthetic references
A try-in to confirm esthetics, phonetics and vertical dimension before the final
The final prosthesis, made to the approved try-in

What to send

Implant system, number and positions, plus any multi-unit abutment details
Bite record and the opposing arch
Full-face smile and retracted photos, with midline and smile-line notes
The existing denture or provisional when we have agreed to use it as a reference

Not sure which material fits the case?

Read the material guide, or call the lab and talk it through with a technician before you prep. We would rather plan it with you than guess.
