IMPLANTS

Gaines Dental is proud to only offer OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) custom abutments where available. If the original implant company does not offer custom abutments, manufacturing is done by a FDA approved milling center such as Argen. We scan and design custom abutments through 3shape design software, and then send them to the OEM to be fabricated. The custom abutment allows for the final restoration to have a better emergence profile and in most cases a broader structure for the crown to bond to. A custom abutment is used to achieve a better, more esthetic final restoration. We have on hand almost every platform impression post/ coping available. 

We are partners with Zimmer Biomet 3i. This software allows us to design abutments from a scan or impression of the Encode healing cap.
