Medfag here.Implants are made in size increments and mass produced not custom made for vast vast vast majority of cases what is custom is the crown and that is the expensive part metal core and ceramic overlay done by a skilled technician there are cnc milled ones but uniform colour is off in these and they look artificial while a good handmade is indistinguishable from your real teeth.

Now that latter part is getting automated so technicians will be closing shops en mass in the coming 10 years with machines that use additive processes for geometry and ml meme to get surface colour generated to match the your remaining teeth.Operator job is dead simple and i could do that in 15 minutes if i wanted for something like easy access teeth and even pain in the ass third molar is under 30 minutes of serious work.
