Fixed function with clinical retrievability.
Screw-Retained Bridge
A screw-retained bridge is a fixed, retrievable implant restoration spanning two or more implants, secured with screws rather than cement for cleaner maintenance. We design it around verified implant positions and access channels in your choice of material, so it seats passively and lifts out for service. This page covers partial-span and segmental implant bridges; full-arch cases route to our dedicated full-arch workflows. Send the implant records, and we confirm the interface before production.
Where a screw-retained bridge fits
- Partial-span implant bridges: Three- and four-unit posterior or anterior implant bridges.
- Retrievable maintenance: Screw retention keeps the restoration serviceable over time.
- Cement-free seating: No subgingival cement, so no residual-cement risk.
Passive fit and clean maintenance
A screw-retained bridge removes cement from the equation. We verify implant positions, place the access channels for retrievability where occlusion allows, and design the framework for passive fit across every implant. The result seats without stress on the fixtures and comes out cleanly for hygiene or repair. For a strong, esthetic definitive we build on ti-bases; for full-arch cases, see our screw-retained zirconia bridge and zirconia hybrid options.

Frequently asked questions
Send a completed prescription, an implant-level scan or scan-body capture, opposing arch, bite record, the implant system and platform, shade, and photographs. Complete records let us confirm the screw-retained bridge before production.
Yes. We accept major intraoral scanner workflows and open STL or PLY files, plus scan-body captures. Contact our team if you need help transferring a case.
The standard estimate is 10 to 14 days in lab. Timing varies with span, verification and approvals, so confirm the current schedule when submitting.
