The Patient-Specific Bars approach allows for designing individual emergence profiles on each of the implant connections, perfectly following the patient’s gingival profile. This results in an aesthetic solution, since no metal will be visible in the mouth of the patient. Moreover, it improves the long-term functionality because the prosthetic material is actually enclosed in the small gap formed by the finish line. This avoids the occurrence of micro gaps or chipping of the prosthetic material around the implant connection. This also allows the Dental Team to “reline” the prosthesis to compensate for loss of bone and supportive tissue.

Preat Patient-Specific Bar Benefits

Patient Specific Designs

Patient Specific Designs

Our designs are endless. We do not use libraries or pre-determined shapes for our structures. All designs are customized to provide a unique structure for the individual patient and restorative team’s needs.

Freedom of shape

Freedom of Shape

The geometric freedom is achieved with the advancements and accuracy of CNC controlled machining to produce an excellent passive fit, without the shape limitations.

Personalized Restorative Solutions

Personalized Restorative Solutions

There is not a one-size fits all restorative solution for full-arch cases. We offer overdenture bar solutions for removable patients. We also have options for fixed patients including suprastructures for hybrids, thimble structure designs for individual crowns, or frameworks for stacking porcelain.

Our Designers are Technicians

Our Designers are Technicians

Our designers have, on average, 20+ years at the bench. We understand dental terminology and the challenges that the restorative team faces. We are able to take our experience and use CAD/CAM to exceed customer expectations.

The Preat Design team has put us on the map as far as the hybrid titanium substructures. Their designs and workmanship is the best I’ve seen in my 36 years of dentistry.

Preat is a forward-thinking company that listens to clinician’s unique challenges and then thinks about these challenges and finds a solution. If you have a challenge with a case, its likely they have the answer.

I first used Preat for a difficult titanium hybrid case I was doing. I worked with Jeff who blew me away with his thorough knowledge of both the biomechanics and the the esthetic nature of the case. Since then I have worked with Jeff on many unique cases and I have never been disappointed. The communication is so complete that you know exactly what to expect. Do yourself a favor and give yourself access to all the nuances of superb design, many of which you may not know are possible!
