Exocad Level 4: Implant Restorations - Single Crowns, Custom Abutments & Screw Retained Bridges

26 JUNE 2027 · THE MARKET CROSS, BURY ST EDMUNDS

Take your Exocad skills into implant dentistry and learn to design restorations with greater control over the complete restorative outcome.

Implant CAD introduces a new set of considerations. You're no longer designing around a prepared tooth - you're working with implant position, restorative space, component selection, emergence and the relationship between the restoration and the surrounding tissues.

Exocad Level 4 is an advanced hands on course focused specifically on digital implant restorative design, progressing through single implant crowns, custom abutments and screw retained bridge workflows.

You'll learn how to approach implant cases systematically, understand the information you're working with and make informed design decisions rather than simply progressing through the software.

The goal is to give you the confidence to take greater ownership of implant CAD workflows and leave with practical techniques you can begin applying the very next day.

What you'll learn

During the course, you will:

• Understand the fundamental differences between tooth supported and implant supported digital design.
• Develop a structured approach to setting up and progressing implant restorative cases within Exocad.
• Understand how implant position and restorative space influence your design.
• Work through the digital design of single implant crowns.
• Learn how to approach custom abutment design and understand the restorative considerations that influence the result.
• Progress into screw retained bridge workflows and the additional considerations involved in multi-unit implant restorations.
• Develop your understanding of emergence profiles, contours and soft tissue relationships.
• Understand how the restorative design relates to the underlying implant components.
• Refine contacts, occlusion, morphology and restorative form within implant supported cases.
• Learn to critically assess the proposed restoration and make purposeful adjustments.
• Recognise common problems within implant CAD and develop a more systematic approach to troubleshooting them.
• Understand how your digital design progresses towards the final manufactured restoration.

Course aims & objectives

The aim of Exocad Level 4 is to give delegates the knowledge and practical experience required to progress confidently into implant restorative CAD.

By the end of the course, you should have a clearer understanding of how implant position, restorative components, soft tissue and prosthetic design interact within the digital workflow.

Rather than treating implant CAD as simply another Exocad module, the course focuses on the restorative thinking behind the design, helping you understand why each decision matters to the final outcome.

What you'll leave with

A structured implant CAD workflow.
Know how to approach an implant restoration from case setup through to final design.

Confidence designing single implant crowns.
Understand the additional factors that need to be considered when moving from tooth supported to implant-supported restorations.

Practical custom abutment experience.
Develop your understanding of how custom abutments can be designed around the requirements of the restoration and surrounding tissues.

Greater confidence with screw-retained bridges.
Progress into multi unit implant design and understand how to approach more complex restorative relationships.

A better understanding of emergence and soft-tissue design.
Learn how your digital decisions influence the transition between the implant restoration and the surrounding tissues.

Greater independence in advanced Exocad workflows.
Develop the ability to assess and refine implant designs yourself rather than relying entirely on automated proposals or outsourced CAD.

Skills you can apply the next day.
Leave with practical implant design principles and workflows that can immediately inform the way you approach your own digital cases.

Who is this course for?

Exocad Level 4 is designed for dentists, dental technicians and digital dental professionals who already have experience using Exocad and are ready to progress into implant restorative design.

It is particularly suited to delegates looking to develop their capabilities across single implant restorations, custom abutments and screw retained bridges while gaining a deeper understanding of the restorative principles behind implant CAD.

This is an advanced stage of the Exocad pathway, bridging the gap between conventional restorative design and the more complex implant and full arch workflows covered at Master level.
