Let's assume it is a Straumann bone level implant case. I first work up an estimate on how much the case would be if we went with stock Ti abutments. Then I work up an estimate for Straumann custom Ti abutments and Straumann custom Zir abutments. Finally I get an estimate for Atlantis Ti, Au-hued Ti, and Zir abutments. After I get these costs figured out, I call the doctor and explain to them the options for the case. I would say I spend around 30 mins to do all of this. It used to take me much longer before I had more experience with implant cases.
I should also add that we charge about 40$ per Ti abutment for modification, 60$ per Zir abutment, and we add a 25$ charge if I need to survey the abutments for parallelism. We don't charge any extra to fabricate the crowns for implant cases over what we charge for normal cases.
