Why Choose Implant Prosthetics from Summit Horizon?
At Summit Horizon, every implant restoration is engineered for accuracy, hygiene, and longevity. We collaborate on abutment choice, emergence profile, and screw-access positioning to simplify seating and maintenance—whether you’re restoring one unit or planning a full arch. Based in St. Louis and serving dentists nationwide, we accept both digital scans and traditional records.
- Precision Fit: CAD/CAM design with strict QC for predictable seating.
- Material Choice: Zirconia, titanium, hybrid materials, and PMMA provisional options.
- Cleanability: Emergence profiles and contours designed for long-term hygiene.
- Consistency at Scale: Reliable outcomes for solo practices and DSOs alike.
Types of Implant Restorations
At Summit Horizon Dental Lab, we provide a complete range of implant restorations to meet the needs of both single-tooth and full-arch cases. Every restoration is designed with precision CAD/CAM workflows and careful technician oversight to ensure a predictable fit, long-term stability, and esthetic harmony. Whether your patient requires a single implant crown, a multi-unit bridge, or a full-arch All-on-X solution, our St. Louis-based lab delivers restorations that reduce chairside adjustments and support lasting success.
SINGLE-UNIT IMPLANT CROWNS
Screw-retained or cement-retained crowns designed for ideal occlusion and esthetics. At Summit Horizon, we optimize abutment selection and screw-access angulation (when applicable) to simplify delivery and long-term maintenance.
Best for:
- Single-tooth replacement in anterior or posterior regions
- Cases requiring precise occlusion and esthetic harmony
Materials:
- Monolithic or translucent zirconia
- Lithium disilicate (e.max) in select anterior cases
- Layered esthetic options for high-visibility zones
Why dentists choose this:
- Predictable emergence profile
- Minimal chairside adjustments
- Fast, reliable seating
- Designed for long-term serviceability
What this means for your practice:
Faster appointments with fewer adjustments, giving your team more time and patients a smoother experience.

IMPLANT-SUPPORTED BRIDGES
Implant-supported bridges restore function and esthetics without compromising adjacent teeth. Designed with CAD/CAM precision, these restorations distribute occlusal load effectively and ensure long-term stability.
Best for:
- Spans of three or more units supported by implants
- Cases where preserving natural tooth structure is a priority
- Anterior or posterior replacements requiring predictable esthetics
Materials:
- Monolithic or translucent zirconia
- PFM or layered frameworks for esthetic demands
- Titanium substructures where strength and retrievability are critical
Why dentists choose this:
- Long-term stability with serviceable design
- Reliable screw access and maintenance flexibility
- Clean margins and emergence profiles for hygiene-friendly outcomes
What this means for your practice: Predictable designs that last longer and reduce the need for costly remakes or emergency visits.
FULL ARCH SOLUTIONS
Full-arch prosthetics provide a durable, fixed solution for edentulous or soon-to-be edentulous patients. At Summit Horizon, we support stepwise workflows with verification jigs, prototype try-ins, and definitive frameworks to ensure esthetics, function, and long-term patient satisfaction.
Best for:
- Fully edentulous arches
- Conversions from removable to fixed solutions
- Cases requiring immediate provisionalization with long-term predictability
Options & Materials:
- PMMA provisionals for immediate function and occlusal testing
- Monolithic or layered zirconia for strength and esthetics
- Titanium bar with hybrid design for specific space or load requirements
Why dentists choose this:
- Streamlined workflow minimizes complications
- Verification steps reduce risk of remake or misfit
- Long-lasting esthetic outcomes that improve patient confidence
What this means for your practice: A clear, step-by-step process that helps your team manage complex cases more easily and delivers patients results they can rely on.
Retention & Abutment Strategy
Screw-retained restorations improve retrievability and hygiene access; cement-retained can be indicated for esthetic demands or challenging screw channels. We help select custom vs. stock abutments (titanium, zirconia-titanium base) based on tissue biotype, depth, and emergence.
Digital Workflows & Treatment Planning
Accept all major IOS scans (plus CBCT for planning).
Digital implant planning with guided surgery coordination (tie-in to your Accessory Services page for surgical guides).
Prototype/PMMA try-ins to verify esthetics, phonetics, and occlusion before going definitive.
Consistent documentation — case photos, shades, and materials kept with your case record.
Submission & Turnaround
Records: IOS scans (STL/PLY), opposing arch, bite, shade photos; for analog: PVS impressions, verification jig (bridges/full arch).
Typical timelines:
- Single-unit crowns: ~7–10 business days
- Bridges: ~10–12 business days
- Full-arch workflows: provisional ~5–7, definitive after prototype approval varies by case

Implant Prosthetics FAQs
Do you accept digital scans for implant cases?
Yes. We accept IOS files from all major systems and can pair them with CBCT data for planning when needed.
Can you help me choose screw-retained vs. cement-retained?
Absolutely. We’ll review esthetics, access, angulation, and tissue to recommend the best retention and abutment approach.
What materials do you recommend for full-arch definitive frameworks?
Common choices include monolithic zirconia (strength + esthetics) or a titanium bar with hybrid design when space or load dictates.
How do you ensure long-term maintenance and serviceability?
We design for retrievability, maintain documented torque values, and create hygiene-friendly contours and emergence to support tissue health.
Do you work only with St. Louis practices?
Summit Horizon is based in St. Louis, Missouri, but we proudly serve dentists across the entire United States. Whether you submit digital scans or mail impressions, our workflows make it easy to work with us from anywhere.
