The study

The brief

A single implant crown with an emergence profile that supports the tissue from day one.

The approach

The crown was designed over the scan body position, milled in multilayer zirconia and bonded to a titanium base following the component maker's protocol.

The finish

The transmucosal zone is polished, not glazed. The crown surface carries light texture and a natural lustre.

Zirconia

A graded disc that moves from a warmer cervical body to a lighter, more translucent incisal edge, so monolithic work reads naturally without layering.
