PROCEDURE

implant supported dentures

Dani Dental fabricates implant-supported dentures with a fully digital workflow: intraoral scan to milled bar to final prosthetic, no analog impression tray in the chain. Turnaround runs 7-10 business days on standard full-arch cases.

  • Margins verified against your prescription
  • Pre-paid two-way shipping
  • Talk to the technician who built it
  • Full digital workflow

Every implant-supported denture case at Dani Dental opens inside 3Shape Dental System, our primary digital case management platform. Intraoral scans (in .STL or .PLY format) arrive through the portal and are reviewed against the referring clinician's implant chart and scan body selection before a single CAD file is opened. That front-end alignment step is the one most outsourced labs skip, and it is the reason fit issues appear at try-in rather than at design. Bar fabrication runs on a 5-axis milling center using zirconia or titanium stock selected per the case prescription. For milled zirconia bars we use full-contour monolithic blocks sintered to the final shade spec rather than layering over a frame, which removes one fragile interface from the prosthetic. Titanium bars run with a verified-fit protocol: the milled bar is seated against a printed verification jig before the acrylic or ceramic superstructure is bonded. Superstructure work, whether PMMA provisional, acrylic final, or layered ceramic hybrid, is handled in-house at our Arizona facility. No third-party superstructure outsourcing. That matters because the transition from bar to superstructure is where occlusal error accumulates if the same hands are not managing both. The technician who designed the bar reviews the superstructure before dispatch. For multi-implant cases requiring a conversion denture or immediate-load provisional, Dani Dental offers a parallel-track workflow: the surgical guide, the immediate provisional, and the definitive prosthetic are designed in a single case file. Oral surgeons and prosthodontists managing All-on-X treatment plans have used this path to compress total treatment timelines by planning all three phases before surgery begins. Every shipped case includes a QC card with the technician's name, direct phone extension, and the specific implant platform and scan body used in design. If a try-in reveals an adjustment need, the technician who built the case takes the return call, not a general support queue. That accountability structure is the fastest path to a resolved case because the person with context is the person on the phone.

HOW IT IS BUILT

From prescription to seated case.

01

Prescription in

Send a scan file or a model with your RX. A technician reads your intent before any design begins.

02

Design & verify

We design to your margin and occlusion, then verify the fit against your prescription before it ships.

03

Build at the bench

Milled, pressed, or hand-layered as the case calls for, finished by a named technician.

04

Back to your chair

Pre-paid shipping returns the case ready to seat, with the technician reachable if anything needs an adjustment.

This is our standard pipeline. The exact steps for implant supported dentures are being detailed and will appear here.

MATERIALS

COMMON QUESTIONS

What dentists ask about implant supported dentures

What implant platforms does Dani Dental design implant-supported dentures for?
Dani Dental designs for all major implant platforms, including Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Zimmer Biomet, Implant Direct, and BioHorizons. Submit your scan body selection and implant chart through the case portal when you open the case. If a platform is not on your current lab slip, call the lab directly and we will confirm compatibility before you invest chair time.
What scan format do you accept for full-arch implant-supported denture cases?
We accept .STL and .PLY files from all major intraoral scanners, including iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit, and Carestream. Cases submitted as digital scans move through design faster than cases requiring a physical model pour. If you are transitioning your practice from analog to digital workflow, our team can walk through scan protocol for full-arch implant cases on a short setup call.
How long does fabrication take for a standard implant-supported denture?
Standard full-arch implant-supported denture cases run 7-10 business days from approved design to shipment. Cases requiring a conversion denture or same-day provisional run on a separate timeline discussed at case open. Rush cases are accommodated on a capacity-available basis. Turnaround is confirmed in writing at case acceptance, not estimated at dispatch.
Do you fabricate the bar and the superstructure in-house, or do you outsource either?
Both bar fabrication and superstructure work are completed in-house at the Arizona facility. No superstructure outsourcing. The technician who designs the CAD bar reviews the final superstructure before dispatch. That continuity is how occlusal and esthetic discrepancies between bar and superstructure get caught before the prosthetic ships, not after the patient is in the chair.
Can Dani Dental support All-on-X treatment planning from surgical guide through final prosthetic?
Yes. For All-on-X and similar full-arch implant protocols, Dani Dental offers a parallel-track case file that includes the surgical guide, immediate-load provisional, and definitive prosthetic designed together before surgery. Oral surgeons and prosthodontists using this workflow have compressed full-arch treatment timelines because prosthetic parameters are fixed prior to implant placement, reducing post-surgical design iterations.
What materials are available for implant-supported denture bars and superstructures?
Bars are available in milled zirconia or titanium. Superstructures are available in PMMA (provisional or long-term), acrylic, and layered ceramic hybrid. Material selection is documented at case open based on the clinician's prescription and the patient's occlusal load profile. If you want a material comparison before submitting the case, the assigned technician will walk through the tradeoffs with you directly.
What happens if an adjustment is needed after try-in?
Every Dani Dental shipment includes a QC card with the fabricating technician's name and direct phone extension. Return calls go to that technician, not a general support queue. The person with case context handles the adjustment conversation. Remake turnaround for implant-supported denture cases requiring a post-try-in correction runs 5-7 business days depending on the scope of the change.
Does Dani Dental work with DSO groups running multiple offices on implant-supported denture cases?
Yes. DSO groups operating 10-30 locations can establish a single-lab partnership with documented turnaround SLAs and consolidated billing. Implant-supported denture cases from multiple offices are managed through one case portal with location tagging, so quality and turnaround data are trackable by site. Contact the lab to discuss SLA structure and volume pricing before submitting the first case.
