The Screw vs Cement Decision: How to Get It Right for Every Case

At iCare Lab, we work with your specific implant platform, case anatomy, and protocol preference. Your named technician will discuss screw vs cement during case submission.

Screw Retained Crown Dental Lab Services

Implant Crown & Bridge Solutions

We provide a full range of implant crown and bridge restorations designed for precision fit, long-term durability, and excellent aesthetics. From screw-retained to cement-retained solutions, each case is carefully fabricated to suit implant angulation, soft tissue emergence, and clinical requirements.

Screw-Retained Implant Crown (Single Unit)

The most retrievable protocol. The crown is screw-locked directly to the implant fixture or to a custom abutment, allowing complete removal without damage if future adjustments are needed. Ideal for cases where implant angulation is favourable and clinical access is straightforward. The screw channel is typically hidden on the occlusal surface in molars, or can be aesthetic-managed in anterior cases using tooth-coloured access hole fill material

From £200 per unit

Cement-Retained Implant Crown

For cases where implant angulation makes screw retention impractical — commonly when the screw channel would be positioned buccally or labially in the aesthetic zone. A custom abutment is designed to the exact emergence profile required, and the crown is cemented to that abutment. This eliminates the visibility of any metal components and provides maximum aesthetic refinement in anterior cases.

From £185 per unit

Screw-Retained Implant Bridge (Multi-Unit)

Multiple implant units fabricated as a single screw-locked superstructure. Each unit is milled individually and then combined into a multi-unit restoration. All units are retained as one screw-locked unit to the implants — providing retrievability across the entire arch while maintaining a continuous marginal contact and excellent interproximal emergence.

From £380 per 3-unit bridge

Cement-Retained Implant Bridge

Multi-unit bridge cemented as individual units or as a continuous cemented bridge. Useful for cases where the implants are at varying angulations or where soft tissue emergence profile requires custom abutment design for each individual unit. Each crown is cemented to its corresponding custom abutment as a single unit.

From £350 per 3-unit bridge

FAQ

Screw Retained Crown Dental Lab London - Common Questions

Everything dentists ask before sending us their first fixed case.
Still Have a Question?

Call or WhatsApp your technician directly. Same-day replies guaranteed.

The choice depends on implant angulation and clinical preference. Screw retention is recommended when the implant is placed in an ideal anterior-posterior position, because it offers retrievability if future adjustments are needed. Cement retention is better when implant angulation makes the screw channel position cosmetically problematic. Your named technician can review your CBCT and scan data and recommend the optimal protocol for your specific case.
We are compatible with all major implant systems including Straumann (all platforms), Nobel Biocare (all connections), Megagen, Zimmer Biomet, Osstem, Anthogyr, Astra, and many more. When submitting a case, confirm the implant brand, platform, diameter, and connection type.
7 to 10 working days for single-unit implant crowns. Multi-unit bridges may require 10 to 14 working days depending on complexity. Contact your named technician to discuss express availability if you have urgent cases.
Yes. We strongly prefer digital files for implant restorations — the digital dataset allows more precise design of the emergence profile and restoration form. Send IOS scan files along with CBCT data and implant details to your named technician.
Yes. Titanium base components are sourced from accredited manufacturers specific to each implant system. Component costs are included in our published implant pricing.
We offer a quality guarantee. If an implant crown does not seat correctly or has functional issues due to fit, emergence profile, or occlusal problems, we will investigate and remake at no charge. Contact your named technician with photographs and the specific issue.
We are based at Pinnacle Tower, Saffron Central Square, Croydon CR0 2GE. We offer collection from practices across South London, Surrey, and the wider London area. Contact us to arrange your first collection — we will make it straightforward.
