The TRUTH of the matter is ANY off-brand abutments simply ARE NOT worth the risk! "Reverse" engineering is not a 100% match. Implant companies spend MILLIONS on research & development, engineering and production to create a zero-tolerance abutment. What can an off-brand abutment contribute to? Peri-implantitis! This can occur with micro-movement over time OR chairside due to cement in the sulcus (That's why we recommend screw-retained) or poor patient care. Let's do all we can to avoid this. AUTHENTIC custom abutments mitigate this risk!

What is the deeper TRUTH??? This is beyond optimal patient care...It is about LIABILITY! Even though a vendor "guarantees" their abutment...You do NOT want to end up in court for a major implant failure and have the implant vendor NOT support you. And they will NOT if you do not use AUTHENTIC components. Period. Don't believe me? Ask you implant rep. AND...I am not talking about a free abutment & crown...I am referring to LAWSUITS. It's not worth the $200 savings.

So, why do laboratories offer such a thing?

PROFITS! Laboratories retain far more profit offering a 3rd party, off-brand custom abutment...even after the typical discount is extended. We simply will NOT do that. We KNOW authentic components are critical for the intimate fit and reliability required to keep you and your patient OUT OF A LAWSUIT! And if it does happen the implant company and all of it's massive resources will be in your corner...if you utilize an authentic abutment.

Other than our hard-fast line about AUTHENTIC custom abutments...why choose Gardali Advanced Restorative & ImplantONE?

Our Team: Benjamin, our Implant expert has restored well over 10,000 implants! Ben’s experience is unmatched regarding the critical factors to consider when restoring an implant-supported case. Considerations such as:

• Having a deep understanding and knowledge of each specific implant system. Every case is unique and so are implant companies and the components they offer. Sometimes, what you and your patient want isn't attainable with the system implant that was placed. Hmmm, now what? For example, the patient requires a gold shaded abutment due to abutment depth and tissue structure however, the system placed does NOT offer said solution. Now what?? OR, you want to scan digitally (IOS) however, the implant placed vendor does NOT offer FDA approved DME files. UtOh??? The specific challenges vary by patient, process, desired outcome and the patient in general. Benjamin will help you navigate these treacherous conditions uniquely with every case!
• AUTHENTIC Custom abutment design that maximizes the outcome and often times can mitigate challenges chairside!
• Digitally Designed / Artisan Perfected: Why put a rudimentary, possible AI designed crown on the ideal abutment! Plenty of laboratories today utilize Ai, 3-shape libraries or graphic artist they Call dental technicians to design your cases. We DO NOT! Our digital designers are Dental technicians by trade. Ceramists! We turned "brush lickers into mouse clickers". Especially in the cosmetic zone...it is critical that these restorations are designed with golden proportions in mind by a seasoned, highly-trained dental technician. Does your dental laboratories work change peoples lives?? Send us your next case, You will see the difference!
• TRUST: Do you TRUST your Dental Laboratory? We ONLY utlize authentic components and materials from Dental vendors. Does your authentic custom abutment come with the vendor packaging AND an implant warranty card? Can you visit your laboratory at ANY time to verify material and and that the work is done IN THAT facility? TRUST is critical!
• Communication: Does your laboratory communicate with you and your staff? Does your laboratory have the experience and education to do so in the first place? Communication is the key to a successful long-term relationship. We believe we are part of your team with a common goal of patient success.
• Capabilities: Does your laboratory discuss treatment plan options for the restored tooth and adjacent teeth? Are they able to utlize CBCT scans to create surgical guides? Do they accept ALL IOS cans? AND at times most difficult piece is parts and pieces. Do they have a DEEP understanding of the implant companies offerings? Can they get you out of TROUBLE!
