Healing Abutments

A healing abutment promotes healthy bone and tissue development around an implant in preparation for the final abutment and crown. Dense soft-tissue attachment to the surface of an abutment also acts as a protective seal against bacterial irritation and inflammation. The transgingival healing encourages soft tissue stability and the formation of an ideal emergence profile. Additionally, the healing abutment prevents soft-tissue from growing over the implant fixture, eliminating the need for a second surgery.

These positive outcomes create a stable peri-implant environment, resulting in a restoration with better function and esthetics. Healing abutments are pre-fabricated or patient-specific, organized by diameter, height, and shape to best fit the final restoration goals.

Dentsply Sirona astutely champions restoration products that support a natural, esthetic emergence profile. Healthy tissue and bone growth, long-term function, and predictable clinical results are essential factors in the success of an implant treatment. When healing abutments are a required part of the clinical case, Dentsply Sirona offers well-performing options for every major implant system.
