Walk out with fixed provisional teeth in 48 hours — made fast by our own on-site lab in Plano.
Coming in from outside the Metroplex? Here is how we plan treatment for out-of-town patients — scheduling, travel and where to stay.
Because our lab is inside our practice, you get fixed teeth in days — not weeks of waiting on a lab across the country.
Free CBCT 3D scan, digital smile design, and implant placement — all under one roof, with sedation options.
Our on-site lab crafts your fixed provisional arch while you rest. You drive home with teeth that do not come out — no removable denture, no waiting on an outside lab.
Once you have healed, return for your permanent Malo bridge — the original full-arch design: lighter, more lifelike, and repairable tooth by tooth.
Full-arch work like this — a Malo-style bridge on a precision-milled titanium bar — is the standard we hold every smile to. Most practices mail impressions to a lab across the country and make you wait weeks in a removable temporary.
We don't. Our on-site lab crafts your fixed provisional steps away from your chair — that's how you leave with teeth in 48 hours. And when it's time for your permanent restoration, every detail is checked against your smile in person, not by a stranger in another state.
Most implant centers deliver one thing: an arch milled from a solid zirconia block. We recommend the Malo bridge — the design behind the original All-on-4® protocol — and here is why patients love it.
| Malo Bridge — what we recommend | Milled Zirconia Block — what most centers sell | |
|---|---|---|
| Weight & feel | ✓Light on the jaw — titanium frame with individual teeth. Easier to adapt to; feels like your teeth, not a plate. | Solid ceramic block — noticeably heavier in the mouth. |
| Looks | ✓Individually set, hand-characterized teeth with natural translucency and lifelike gum tones. | Milled from one monochromatic block — can read flat and opaque up close. |
| Bite comfort | ✓Shock-absorbing — cushions chewing forces, gentler on your implants and any opposing natural teeth. | Extremely rigid — transmits full bite force; harder than natural enamel. |
| If a tooth chips | ✓Repaired chairside, or one tooth swapped — often the same day, at low cost. | Zirconia cannot be safely adjusted after fabrication; damage usually means remaking the entire arch. |
| Down the road | ✓Renewable — teeth can be refreshed or upgraded over the years without surgery. | Very durable, but an all-or-nothing arch when change is needed. |
| Track record | ✓The design Dr. Paulo Maló built the All-on-4® protocol on — decades of clinical history. | A newer one-piece approach with strong survival data of its own. |
Zirconia is a genuinely durable material and the right choice for some patients — our full Malo bridge and zirconia comparison sets the two side by side, and we will walk you through both honestly at your consult and recommend what fits your bite, your smile line, and your budget.
