Walk out with fixed provisional teeth in 48 hours — made fast by our own on-site lab in Plano.
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 — we will walk you through both honestly at your consult and recommend what fits your bite, your smile line, and your budget.
