Bill Duncan 07/26/2017: Implant abutments are conical-shaped, and are screwed into a dental implant integrated into the jawbone. Today, the most common form of implant abutments are made of tooth colored material to add a more natural look to the crown that covers the abutment. This type of abutment allows the crown to blend more appropriately with adjacent teeth as is the case with the high noble metal resin crowns and porcelain-fused to noble metal crowns.
