Full-arch stackable workflow

One planned sequence for full-arch surgery and provisional delivery.

A full-arch case is one sequence, not a collection of products. We coordinate the prosthetic objective, guide stack and approval gates so bone reduction, implant placement, MUA positioning and the provisional stay aligned.

What this workflow protects

In a full-arch case, small mismatches compound across stages. This workflow protects the continuity between them: the prosthetic objective is fixed first, and every guide in the stack references it, so reduction, implant position, MUA plan and provisional all point at the same result.

The stackable sequence

The prosthetic objective is established before the guide stack is finalised, so each stage references the intended result.

  1. 1Foundation / pin guide
  2. 2Bone reduction
  3. 3Osteotomy / implant guide
  4. 4MUA positioning
  5. 5Prosthetic pickup or delivery reference

Workflow detail

Records by presentation

  • Dentate presentations
  • Terminal dentition
  • Edentulous presentations
  • Prosthetic reference and smile setup where the outcome is patient-facing

Approval gates

  • Bone reduction plan
  • Implant positions
  • MUA plan
  • Provisional design

What the dentist receives

  • Coordinated guide sequence
  • Planning and design files
  • Provisional / delivery reference — by selected scope

The produced full-arch sequence

Where cases commonly stall

These are the issues we check for up front, so a case does not lose time in planning or come back for avoidable rework.

  • Provisional or prosthetic objective not defined before the guide stack is built
  • Records that do not capture the full arch and opposing dentition
  • Foundation/pin strategy unclear, so the stack cannot be indexed reliably
  • MUA direction decided too late to inform the implant plan

Important notes

Same-day teeth are not promised. Immediate provisional delivery depends on the treatment team, components and the confirmed provisional workflow.

Common questions

Discuss the case first if…

the surgical sequence or provisional strategy is still being defined, or the case involves grafting, staged loading or a treatment team spread across locations.

Discuss a full-arch case.

Start the case when your records and scope are clear, or discuss the workflow first if it is still being defined.
