Dental implant abutments are at the core of implant function. They are used to transfer the load from the teeth to the dental implant itself and so high quality abutments are absolutely essential in any high quality restoration….

The Crown
Here seen from the side, this is a front lateral incisor.

The post, which is the upper portion of the abutment, will in this case have the crown cemented onto it after the lower section is attached to the implant below.
