Designed on the full picture
Implant cases are planned on the CBCT, the scan and the photographs merged together, so the prosthesis is designed around the bone, the implants and the face at once.

Why it matters
Most labs design from a screen and a prescription. Here, every full-arch case is reviewed by a prosthodontist who places and restores more than two hundred of them a year, so what arrives at your practice fits the way it was planned.
Actual cases
The proof is in the before.
Drag the handle across each case. These are Dr. Rodriguez's own full-arch cases, photographed under the same lighting before and after, nothing retouched.
BeforeAfter
Upper full-arch reconstruction. Before: Before treatment: upper full-arch reconstruction. After: After treatment: upper full-arch reconstruction.Case 01Upper full-arch reconstruction
Failing and missing upper teeth restored with a fixed implant-supported arch.
BeforeAfter
Long-term denture wearer. Before: Before treatment: long-term denture wearer. After: After treatment: long-term denture wearer.Case 02Long-term denture wearer
Collapsed bite and removable dentures replaced with a fixed implant-supported prosthesis.
BeforeAfter
Worn and shifting dentition. Before: Before treatment: worn and shifting dentition. After: After treatment: worn and shifting dentition.Case 03Worn and shifting dentition
Worn, spaced teeth rebuilt to restore function and the natural smile line.
Every one of these was a full arch.
Not veneers, not a bridge over failing teeth. Implants placed into the jaw and a fixed arch built on top of them, which is why the change holds up when they chew.
See every case
Photographs of actual patients treated by Dr. Rodriguez, published with consent. Individual results depend on bone volume, oral health and healing, and vary between patients. No specific outcome is implied or guaranteed.
The pathway
Four steps from your scan to the final prosthesis.
Every case is designed, approved and verified before anything definitive is made. Here is exactly what happens, and in what order.
- Step 01
Send the case
An intraoral scan or impressions, photographs, the prescription and, for implant cases, the CBCT and the implant system. If you are not sure what a case needs, call first and we will tell you.
- Step 02
Digital design, reviewed by a prosthodontist
The restoration is designed on the merged data and reviewed against the clinical picture: restorative space, implant positions, occlusal scheme, the smile. You see the design and approve it before anything is made.
- Step 03
Prototype and verify
For full-arch work a printed PMMA prototype is tried in first. Fit, bite, phonetics and aesthetics are proven in the mouth, and any change is made in the file rather than on the final prosthesis.
- Step 04
Mill, finish and deliver
The definitive is milled from the approved design, coloured, sintered, stained and glazed by hand, checked on the model and delivered ready to seat, to your practice or chairside with the Mobile Lab.
The workflow
Planned on screen. Verified before it is made.
Design, printing, milling and finishing all happen under one roof, so nothing about your case is guessed at, and nothing is lost between a design centre and a milling centre.
Intraoral scans welcome
Send the scan straight from the chair. Conventional impressions are accepted too and digitised in the lab.
Reviewed by a clinician
Every full-arch design is checked by a prosthodontist who places and restores these cases every week.
In-house printing and milling
PMMA prototypes are printed here, and zirconia, titanium and long-term provisionals are milled here.
Chairside with the Mobile Lab
When the case cannot wait for a courier, the lab comes to your operatory to design, print and finish on site, with the patient in the chair.
Products
Eight restorations and the design behind them,
all made in-house.
From a single lithium disilicate crown to a full-arch zirconia on a titanium bar, designed digitally, verified before it is milled, and finished by hand. The digital design is available on its own too.
In the lab
Made here. Not sent out.
Milled titanium and gold bar substructures, printed PMMA provisionals, hand-stained zirconia. Design and fabrication under one roof means every prosthesis is checked against the design you approved before it leaves.

From our clients
In their own words.
What the practices we work with say about the lab.
“The first lab I have used where the person reviewing my full-arch design actually places and restores these cases. The notes I get back before milling have saved me more than one remake.”
“We tried in the printed prototype, changed the midline and the incisal length in the file, and the zirconia came back exactly as approved. It dropped on passively and I barely touched the occlusion.”
“Having the Mobile Lab in the building on surgery day changed how I schedule full-arch. The provisional was designed, printed and delivered before the patient left, and it fit.”
“Titanium bar with PMMA for a patient opposing a lower denture. The bar was passive on the verification jig and the tissue side was easy for her to clean. Communication was clear the whole way.”
“The screw-retained crowns come back with emergence profiles that actually support the papilla, and the access holes are where I would have put them myself. That is rare.”
“I send my anterior lithium disilicate cases here because the characterisation follows my photos. Shade matches on the first try far more often than they used to.”
Mobile Lab
When the case cannot wait, the lab comes to you.
The digital workflow travels. For full-arch surgery days and same-day deliveries, the lab sets up in your practice to scan, design, print and finish on site, so the prosthesis is made against the patient rather than a courier deadline.
- Design, printing and finishing brought to your practice
- Provisionals delivered the day of surgery
- Adjustments made chairside, with the patient in the chair
- Your patient, your operatory, your schedule

A scan, a few photographs and a prescription are enough to start. You see the design before anything is made, and if a case needs something different, we will say so.
