Yes — here are several abutment suppliers/lab partners commonly used for implant-supported restorations that offer fast turnaround and titanium and/or zirconia options. Availability and compatible implant systems vary, so you’ll want to confirm your specific implant platform and digital workflow.

Good options to consider

1. Straumann / Medentika

  • Materials: titanium, zirconia, titanium bases / hybrid abutments
  • Why consider them: strong digital workflow, broad implant compatibility, good for custom and prefabricated solutions
  • Turnaround: often relatively fast through partner labs and digital ordering

2. Nobel Biocare

  • Materials: titanium, zirconia, hybrid abutments
  • Why consider them: reliable OEM-fit components, especially if you’re working on Nobel systems
  • Turnaround: can be efficient depending on region and lab integration

3. Atlantis

  • Materials: titanium, zirconia, gold-shaded/titanium-base hybrid options
  • Why consider them: very popular for custom CAD/CAM abutments, broad compatibility, good esthetics
  • Turnaround: generally known for quick digital turnaround

4. DESS Dental

  • Materials: titanium, zirconia, titanium bases, custom and stock abutments
  • Why consider them: wide implant compatibility and cost-effective options
  • Turnaround: often fast through digital channels and distributors

5. Zimmer Biomet / Encode or compatible custom channels

  • Materials: titanium and zirconia options through custom workflows
  • Why consider them: useful if you’re already in that ecosystem
  • Turnaround: depends on case type and lab routing

6. BioHorizons

  • Materials: titanium, zirconia, custom and prefabricated options
  • Why consider them: good for BioHorizons cases, especially when you need implant-specific fit
  • Turnaround: typically straightforward through their ecosystem

7. Implant Direct

  • Materials: titanium and zirconia options, including custom abutments
  • Why consider them: often competitive pricing and broad implant compatibility
  • Turnaround: can be quick, especially for standard digital cases

8. Argen / local milling centers

  • Materials: zirconia, titanium bases, custom hybrid abutments
  • Why consider them: can be a very fast option if you need domestic milling and shipping
  • Turnaround: often one of the fastest routes if you have a good local lab

If speed is the main priority

Look for suppliers that provide:

  • Digital scanbody libraries
  • Titanium base + custom zirconia crown/abutment workflows
  • Domestic or regional milling
  • Same-day or 1–3 day lab turnaround
  • Direct-to-lab online ordering

Best practice when choosing

Ask each supplier:

  1. Which implant platforms do you support?
  2. Do you offer titanium base + zirconia hybrid abutments?
  3. What is the typical turnaround time?
  4. Do you ship direct or through a lab?
  5. Do you provide libraries for your scanner/CAD software?
  6. Are these OEM or compatible components?

If you want, I can also make this into a short comparison table by:

  • fastest turnaround
  • best for zirconia
  • best for titanium
  • best for multi-implant compatibility
    and tailor it to your implant brand and country/region.
