Frequently Asked Question
1. What makes Dentapia Lab’s implant restorations unique?
At Dentapia Lab, we use advanced CAD/CAM technology, high-quality zirconia and porcelain materials, and customized milling techniques to create highly precise, durable, and natural-looking implant restorations. Our restorations are designed for seamless fit, superior strength, and optimal function, ensuring long-term clinical success.
2. What types of implant crowns do you offer?
We provide a range of implant crowns tailored to different clinical needs:
- FMZir Monolithic Zirconia Implant Crown – Ideal for posterior cases requiring maximum strength and durability.
- Premium UZir Multilayered Zirconia Implant Crown – Best for high-aesthetic zones, offering a natural gradient of translucency and shade blending.
- PFZir (Porcelain-Fused-to-Zirconia) Implant Crown – Perfect for anterior restorations, balancing strength with superior esthetics through hand-layered porcelain over a zirconia core.
3. What are the advantages of zirconia implant crowns over traditional PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) crowns?
Zirconia implant crowns offer several advantages over PFM crowns:
- Metal-free & biocompatible – Reduces risk of metal allergies or tissue irritation.
- Higher strength – Monolithic zirconia has superior fracture resistance compared to metal-ceramic restorations.
- Enhanced aesthetics – Eliminates the gray shadow effect at the gumline, common in PFM crowns.
- Longevity – Zirconia restorations are more resistant to chipping and wear.
4. What materials do you use for implant abutments?
We offer customized implant abutments in:
- Titanium – Ideal for strength and durability, especially in posterior restorations.
- Zirconia – Preferred for high-aesthetic cases, providing a natural gum-tone transition and excellent tissue compatibility.
5. Are your implant crowns compatible with all implant systems?
Yes! Our implant restorations are designed to work with all major implant brands, including:
- Nobel Biocare
- Straumann
- Astra Tech
- BioHorizons
- Neoss
- MIS, Zimmer, Hiossen, and more.
If you have a specific implant system, we can customize the abutment and restoration for a precise fit and optimal performance.
6. How do I ensure proper shade matching for implant restorations?
We recommend:
- Providing high-resolution clinical photos with a shade tab in natural lighting.
- Using a digital scanner (iTero, Medit, Trios) to capture accurate shade and details.
- Requesting a custom shade appointment at our lab for cases requiring precise color customization.
7. What is a surgical guide, and how does it improve implant placement?
A surgical guide is a custom-fabricated, 3D-printed template designed to enhance precision in dental implant placement by aligning with digital planning. It ensures greater accuracy and predictability by minimizing deviations in implant angulation and depth, supports minimally invasive surgery by preserving soft and hard tissue for faster healing, and optimizes efficiency by reducing chair time, making the procedure more comfortable for both the clinician and patient.
8. What is the turnaround time for implant restorations?
Our typical turnaround times are:
- Zirconia & PFZir Implant Crowns – 7-10 In-lab days
- Customized Implant Abutments – 7-10 In-lab days
- Surgical Guides – 5-7 In-lab days
For urgent cases, we offer expedited services upon request.
9. How do I send a case to Dentapia Lab?
We accept both traditional and digital workflows:
- Digital Impressions – Send scans via iTero, Medit, or Trios.
- Traditional Impressions – Ship PVS impressions using our easy courier service.
At Dentapia Lab, we are committed to delivering precision, reliability, and aesthetic excellence in every implant restoration.

FMZir Monolithic Zirconia Implant Crown
The FMZir Monolithic Zirconia Implant Crown, designed exclusively for implant-supported restorations, is crafted from high-density monolithic zirconia to deliver exceptional strength and longevity. Engineered for superior fracture resistance, it withstands high occlusal forces, minimizing the risk of chipping or breakage. Its advanced shading technology replicates the natural translucency and color variations of real teeth, ensuring a highly aesthetic result. Digitally milled with precision, it guarantees a perfect fit and optimal marginal integrity, seamlessly adapting to the implant abutment. Completely metal-free, its biocompatible composition eliminates the risk of allergic reactions and tissue irritation, making it a safe and durable choice for long-term dental restorations.
Premium UZir Multilayered Zirconia Implant Crown
For cases that demand both exceptional strength and superior aesthetics, our Premium UZir Multilayered Zirconia Implant Crown offers the perfect balance of durability and natural beauty. Designed with a seamless gradient color transition from cervical to incisal, it replicates the depth and translucency of natural enamel while ensuring high flexural strength for long-lasting performance. Its optimized light reflection enhances the restoration’s vitality, while custom stain and glaze options allow for a truly personalized match to each patient’s unique dental profile.
PFZir Implant Crown (Porcelain-Fused-to-Zirconia)
This premium hybrid restoration seamlessly integrates the superior strength of a zirconia core with the refined aesthetics of hand-layered porcelain, making it the perfect choice for both anterior and posterior implant cases where function and beauty are essential. Engineered with dual-layer technology, it offers exceptional durability while maintaining a natural appearance. Its customizable translucency enhances aesthetic control, particularly in high-smile-line cases, ensuring a seamless blend with natural dentition. Designed for long-term performance, this restoration resists wear without compromising occlusal function, while its superior bonding capability to abutments guarantees secure retention and lasting stability.
Customized Implant Abutments
Our TGA-approved custom-milled implant abutments are meticulously crafted to ensure a precise fit, promoting optimal function, tissue health, and long-term stability. Tailored to meet individual case requirements, these abutments are available in biocompatible titanium and zirconia options, offering superior gingival response. Their optimized emergence profile enhances soft tissue contouring, creating a natural gingival architecture. Designed for seamless integration, they are compatible with platform switching and leading implant systems, allowing for a versatile clinical approach. Additionally, improved retention and load distribution help minimize stress on the implant and surrounding bone structure, ensuring durability and long-term success.
Surgical Guide
Achieve predictable and precise implant positioning with our custom-designed surgical guides, meticulously crafted using advanced digital planning and state-of-the-art 3D printing. These guides facilitate minimally invasive procedures by reducing surgical trauma and promoting faster healing while enhancing accuracy by eliminating guesswork, ensuring optimal implant angulation and depth.
