Impression Copings that Get It 'Just Right'
We didn't just make Impression Copings, we made them to be the preferred tool of dental professionals.
Key Highlights (TL;DR)
- Impression Copings are the newest addition to the Smart Denture Conversions lineup of products.
- Our Impression Copings are designed for open-tray with a taller design that passes through the tray easily.
- Our design makes it easy and intuitive to do work with the Impression Coping one-handed if necessary.
New: Impression Copings
Introducing Impression Copings, the latest innovation in our Smart Denture Conversions product line. Engineered for the open-tray technique, these copings are crafted to become a dentist's go-to choice for precision and ease.
What Makes Them Different?
Our Impression Copings are thoughtfully designed for dual purposes: verification jig and elastomeric impressions (see the SDC Technique Manual). They have a retention zone that is sufficiently high above the tissue so that resin can be added for a verification jig above the tissue. At the tissue level, the impression coping is designed to easily accommodate subgingival multi-unit abutment placement, without inducing discomfort to the patient.
Our Impression Coping mates with the universal, multi-unit abutment geometry introduced and popularized by Nobel Biocare. They can be used on:

One of the major changes we wanted to make to our Impression Copings was with the Impression Coping Screw. Too often, Impression Coping Screws are short, barely reaching through the impression tray and requiring a driver to tighten. We made our Impression Coping Screw tall enough to easily pass through the tray, featuring an easy-to-operate knob for hand tightening. The knob has a knurled edge for easy gripping, and the diameter allows for greater torque by hand. The drive feature is a T6 Torx®, compatible with Straumann drivers.
The screw threads are the standard MUA m 1.4 x 0.3 thread diameter and pitch. The screw seat is identical to the screw seat of a prosthetic screw, allowing the use of the Impression Coping Screw to fabricate resin bars on short temporary cylinders, like the Smart Denture Conversions' TiBases.
Getting Them "Just Right"
Borrowing a phrase from Goldilocks and the Three Bears, our goal was to create Impression Copings that feel 'just right' for dental professionals. They’re tall where needed, narrow at the base, and have the right bulk for easy, one-handed use. These copings are designed to feel intuitive, and we’re confident they’ll become your new favorite tool.
