This case involved an implant-supported crown and bridge restoration for a partner dental clinic replacing a missing molar and adjacent premolar. The clinic needed a restoration that would integrate precisely with the existing implant system while restoring full chewing function.
Working from the clinic’s digital scan and implant system specifications, our team designed and milled a screw-retained bridge, ensuring accurate seating over the implant abutments.
Challenges and desires of customers
The clinic required exact compatibility with the patient’s existing implant system, along with a passive fit to avoid stress on the implants. Any inaccuracy could risk implant complications, so precision was non-negotiable.The clinic required exact compatibility with the patient’s existing implant system, along with a passive fit to avoid stress on the implants.

- Exact Implant System Compatibility
- Passive, Stress-Free Fit
- Accurate Screw Access Alignment
- Reliable, On-Time Delivery
Meeting these expectations required precise digital design work and careful verification of the implant platform and screw channel angulation before milling began.
Project Success Key
Our CAD/CAM workflow allowed us to design the bridge with a verified passive fit and correctly angulated screw access, confirmed through a virtual try-in before production. The final restoration was milled, finished, and quality-checked for occlusion and margin accuracy prior to shipping.
The finished restoration seated accurately on the first attempt, with no chairside adjustment needed, and was delivered within the committed turnaround time.
- Passive, Accurate Implant Fit
- Correct Screw Access Alignment
- Delivered Within Committed Turnaround
