Advantages of the Screwmentable
Defining A Screwmentable
A screwmentable is a crucial part in a patient’s restoration treatment. This is where ADL Dental Labs takes the crown and abutment, and cements them together in our lab. A vast amount of dental work requires cementation, such as bonding, veneers, and crowns. However, our screwmentable process makes your case a little easier. As our technique ensures the screwmentable is already cemented, you will not only be saving your patient time in the chair, but some extra labour on your part!
The screwmentable makes the doctor’s life easier when cured in a professional way compared to a handheld system. This is a great option as screwmentables are less expensive than custom abutments, and make for a great alternative. The ADL Dental Labs process will not only save you time, but your practice money as well!
How We Make Our Screwmentable
Our team works by curing the screwmentable in a professional curing unit. This is a better solution to what dentists have available on the chair side in a smaller unit. ADL Dental Labs can cement the crown to the abutment, so the crown is delivered to the doctor as one piece! In an ideal case, we make the screwmentable by using stock parts, right from the implant manufacturers. These are typically known as TiBase, Variobase or Universalbase. By using these stock parts, we can help to keep your costs low! Only when an implant is placed too deep, or there is an angulation issue, we are not able to use stock abutments. In these cases, we will make a custom abutment for your patient.
