Screw-Retained Implant Crowns

This patient already has a screw-retained crown on his lower right side. We are placing 2 more screw-retained crowns for him.

Here are the crowns. The screw holes can be blocked out after the screws have been tightened.

The biggest advantage for this type of crowns is that the crowns can be removed at any time for cleaning and/or repair and then replaced in the mouth.

A screw-retained crown is not cemented but screwed into the implant.

All it takes is a special screwdriver to place and remove

A screw attaches the abutment and the crown to the implant.
