Zirconia vs PMMA for Full-Arch Restorations: A Dental Lab Guide
Compare zirconia final restorations and PMMA provisionals for Full-Arch cases. Practical guidance for dentists in South Florida.
Different roles in the workflow
PMMA is commonly used for provisional restorations and try-ins, while zirconia can be selected for definitive restorations when clinically appropriate. Material selection depends on the treatment plan and the patient's needs.
What the lab needs
Confirm implant system, restorative space, occlusal scheme, scans, provisional feedback, shade and the approved design. Ask about component compatibility and any required titanium bar.
Pricing and scope
PARALLAX Full-Arch zirconia base restorations start at $1,200 per arch. Planning, parts, finishing and expedited services may change the quote. This is not a patient treatment price.
Choosing the right sequence
Agree on provisional verification, design approval, final material and delivery milestones before production.
