Implants
Custom Abutments

Custom abutments are digitally designed components that shape the emergence profile, control margin placement, and set the foundation for esthetics and long-term tissue health. Unlike stock abutments, they’re crafted to fit the patient’s anatomy, implant position, and final prosthetic plan.
They help the crown seat more predictably, reduce chairside adjustments, and create a seamless transition between implant and restoration.
When It Makes Sense
Improved Tissue Contours
Supports healthier tissue response and more natural contouring.
Custom Emergence Profile
Creates a personalized transition for better esthetics and cleaner margins.
Controlled Margin Depth
Helps manage cement by optimizing margin placement.
Implant-Specific Design
Adapts to implant angle and vertical position.
Predictable Final Seating
Supports a more consistent restorative fit and placement.
Single-Unit Restorations
Ideal for individual implant-supported crowns.
Esthetic Zone Cases
Well suited for highly visible restorations.
Cement-Retained Crowns
Designed for cement-retained implant restorations.
Challenging Implant Sites
Helpful with difficult angulation or soft-tissue demands.
Why Derby
Restoratively driven design
Each abutment is built with the final crown outcome in mind.
Digital precision with technician review
Technology-assisted modeling refined by experienced implant technicians.
Soft-tissue minded shaping
Anatomical emergence profiles support healthy adaptation and esthetic outcomes.
Compatible with major implant systems
We work with validated libraries across leading manufacturers.
Consistent seating experience
Predictable margin placement helps reduce guesswork and chair time.
Turnaround
Approximately 7-10 business days in-lab depending on the implant brand

FAQ
Do I need to review the design?
Optional for posterior, but required for esthetic or complex cases.
Are these compatible with major implant brands?
Yes. We support validated systems across most platforms.
What if my implant angle is off?
Custom abutments can help compensate for angulation and create a cleaner crown interface.
Do these help with soft tissue outcomes?
Yes. Anatomical shaping supports more natural tissue adaptation.
Are these used with screw-retained crowns?
Traditionally they are used for cement-retained workflows. However, Custom screw-retained crowns are made with a custom abutment and a crown with a screw access hole.
