Istar Dental Lab: Your Partner for Precise All-on-X Implants

As one of the world’s top five dental labs, Istar Dental Lab leads the way in making top-quality All-on-X implant teeth. We will show you how our lab can help with every case. We give you the support you need for this amazing full-mouth teeth replacement treatment. Our lab helps you offer a budget-friendly All-on-X implant to more patients.

What is an All-on-X Dental Implant?

All-on-X is a way to replace teeth where a full row of teeth is held up by a set number (‘X’) of dental implants, usually between four and eight. The main benefit is that it gives you the use of your teeth and a great look right away, making a big improvement in a patient’s life. This method is especially good for people with a lot of bone loss in the back of the jaw because it often uses implants in the back that are put in at an angle. This helps get the most contact between the bone and the implant and stay away from important parts of the jaw.

Different Common Setups

While the name “All-on-X” covers a lot, a few setups are often used. Each has different uses in the clinic and different design needs for the dental lab:

• All-on-4: This is probably the most well-known setup. It uses two straight implants in the front and two angled implants in the back (tilted up to 45 degrees). The angled implants let us place longer implants in stronger bone, getting around natural limits in the jaw like the maxillary sinus or the mental foramen. For the lab, All-on-4 has special design problems, especially in handling the angle so the new teeth fit without any stress and making sure there is enough support for the parts that hang over. Our skill makes sure the angle is handled perfectly in the frame of the new teeth, which is very important for it to last a long time.
• All-on-6: This setup uses six implants for one row of teeth, usually with four straight implants in the front and two angled implants in the back. Using more implants helps spread the chewing pressure more evenly across the teeth and can make the overhanging part shorter. This can make it more stable for a long time and lessen the strain on each implant. For the lab, even though it means more connection points, our modern digital process makes sure the difficult need for a stress-free fit is met perfectly.
• All-on-X (where X > 6): When more bone is available or the bite is stronger, more than six implants can be used. These setups give the most support and spread out the pressure. They are often suggested for patients with bad habits like teeth grinding or when a very strong option is needed. Our design skills easily adjust to these higher implant counts, making sure it works best with the body’s natural forces.

Uses and Benefits

The All-on-X method is suggested for many different kinds of patients, including those:

• With no teeth at all.
• With teeth that are failing because of bad gum disease or a lot of cavities.
• Who want a permanent option instead of dentures you take out.
• With medium to major bone loss who want to avoid big bone graft surgeries.

The benefits for patients are very big:

• Use Your Teeth and a Great Look Right Away: Often, a temporary set of teeth can be put in within 24-48 hours of surgery. This lets patients get back their ability to chew and a natural-looking smile almost right away.
• Better Quality of Life: Fixed teeth get rid of the pain, wobbling, and social worries that can come with removable dentures.
• Saving Bone: The careful placement of implants helps keep the jawbone healthy and stops more bone from being lost.
• Saves Money: Compared to replacing each tooth one by one, All-on-X is a cheaper way to replace a full row of teeth.

Why Istar is Your Best Partner for All-on-X Cases

Choosing the right lab is very important. We solve problems for you and your patients. Our lab gives you the quality and support you need for every All-on-X dental implant case.

1. Precision Technology for Perfect Results

Our use of the latest technology is a key part of our All-on-X services:

• Top CAD Software: We use complete digital design software that has large libraries for many implant systems and parts. This software allows us to accurately design custom connectors, bars, and full sets of teeth, making sure everything works together and fits perfectly.
• High-Precision Milling Machines: Our lab has modern 5-axis milling machines that can work with many different materials, like titanium, cobalt-chrome, and different types of zirconia. These machines make sure the fit is extremely accurate, which is very important for it to last a long time.
• Advanced 3D Printers: We use professional-level 3D printers for the fast and correct making of surgical guides, temporary teeth, and models. These printers can use many types of safe resins that can touch the patient directly.
• AI Design Help: We are adding smart AI tools to help with design. These tools can suggest first designs for the new teeth, find edges, and check the fit. This cuts down on design time done by hand and makes the quality consistent, so our team can focus on the small details of how it looks and works.

2. The Best Materials

The success of All-on-X teeth replacements depends on careful design, a smart choice of materials, and a constant focus on looks. At Istar Dental Lab, we use our deep knowledge of materials and modern design ideas to make new teeth that not only work very well and last a long time but also look just like real teeth.

Types of Final Teeth for All-on-X

We offer a full selection of final teeth, each made to fit specific patient needs, what they prefer, and the material’s features:

3. Expert Team Support

We check for quality at every step of our making process, not just at the end:

• Checks During the Process: Every step of the digital process, from scanning to design to making, has strict quality checks. We regularly use special software to layer digital images and check the fit to make sure it’s accurate.
• Checking the Fit: Getting a stress-free fit is the most important thing for All-on-X teeth. We use modern digital ways to check the fit of the frame on a model. This puts less strain on the implants and makes sure it lasts.
• Checking the Materials: For parts that are milled and printed, we do regular checks on the material’s strength and other properties to make sure they meet or beat industry standards.
• Looking at It and Checking How It Works: Before we send it out, every set of teeth gets a full check by our skilled team to see how it looks and works. We make sure it looks great, the bite is right, and it’s strong.
• Tracking: We keep strong tracking systems for all parts, materials, and digital files. This allows for full tracking, follows international medical device rules, and means we are being completely open with our partners.

The Istar Lab Process for a Precision All-on-X Implant

Let’s look at the steps we take for your case. Our process is clear and easy to follow.

• Case Arrives: You send us the patient’s scans and your All-on-X treatment plan. This starts with the dental implant meeting you had with your patient.
• Digital Plan: We create a digital model. We plan the connector and the design of the new teeth.
• Temporary Teeth: We quickly make the temporary teeth. This lets you offer “Teeth in a Day” or “Smile in a Day” to your patients. This is for implants that get teeth right away.
• Healing Time: The patient heals. The magic of Osseointegration happens. This is when the bone grows onto the dental implant.
• Final Teeth: After healing, we make the beautiful and strong final set of teeth. We check every detail to make sure it is a precise All-on-X implant restoration.

Better Results and Accuracy

Using digital tools has given us great results:

• Faster Service: Digital work has made our service 30-50% faster for All-on-X cases compared to old methods, allowing us to make and send complex teeth replacements within 5-7 days.
• Better Accuracy: Digital design and making allow for an extremely close fit. This means fewer do-overs and fixes. We have to remake less than 5% of our All-on-X cases.
• Saving Money: Automating the design and making process cuts down on work costs and wasted material by using smart software that arranges parts to save material.

By using the best technology and very careful quality checks, Istar Dental Lab makes sure that every All-on-X restoration we send out is a perfect piece of work, giving dentists dependable, top-quality options for their patients.

Partnering for Long-Term Success

A successful All-on-X implant has a high success rate. But sometimes there are problems.

• Peri-implantitis: Our bridges are made to be easy to clean. This helps stop this problem. We suggest patients use a Water flosser for their implants.
• Implant Failure: If this happens, we can help with a follow-up surgery by making a new set of teeth.
• Loose Dental Implant: We can help you check the fit of the new teeth and the connectors.

We follow the high standards of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), Academy of Osseointegration (AO), American Dental Association (ADA), American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), and the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP).

We are your partner for every case where looks are important. We want to help you get great All-on-X reviews and good reviews from patients about their implants.
