iDD Dental Lab — Wellington, New Zealand
ALL-ON-X DENTAL LAB NEW ZEAlAND
When multiple teeth are missing or beyond restoration, everyday activities like eating and speaking can become genuinely difficult. Without a stable, full-arch solution, the remaining bone and surrounding structures continue to change over time, making future treatment more complex.
All-on-X implant restorations are among the clinically considered full-arch options available through dentistry across New Zealand. The procedure combines precise implant placement with a custom-fabricated prosthesis, designed to provide a fixed, stable restoration supported entirely by dental implants.
Whether you are a patient exploring your options after consulting a dentist, or a dental clinic searching for a dependable All-on-X dental lab in New Zealand, understanding the process helps everyone make confident, informed decisions.
iDD Dental Lab is a New Zealand dental laboratory fabricating All-on-X prostheses for clinics and practices across New Zealand, with payment options available to help manage the cost of treatment over time.
WHAT IS AN ALL-ON-X RESTORATION?
An All-on-X restoration is a full-arch implant-supported prosthesis that replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth using a fixed number of dental implants typically four or more strategically placed to support a complete arch of new teeth.
There are several prosthesis options available within All-on-X treatment. A monolithic zirconia arch offers high strength and an appearance closely resembling natural teeth, well suited to patients requiring long-term durability. A hybrid prosthesis combining a titanium framework with layered ceramic or acrylic provides a balance of strength and aesthetics across a range of clinical presentations.
To fabricate the prosthesis, iDD Dental Lab works alongside the treating dental team to support each patient's individual treatment plan. CAD design software is used throughout, drawing from digital scans, surgical guides, and clinical records. Both immediate-load and final prosthesis options are available, tailored to each case.
WHEN IS AN ALL-ON-X RESTORATION NEEDED?
All-on-X restorations are used across a range of clinical situations. A dentist will assess the remaining dentition, bone volume, and overall oral health before recommending full-arch implant treatment as part of a broader plan when simpler restorations are no longer appropriate. For many patients, moving away from removable appliances towards a fixed solution can support improved function and quality of life.
You may need an All-on-X restoration when:
-
Multiple missing teeth across a full arch cannot be reliably restored with individual crowns or a fixed bridge, and a full-arch implant-supported solution is clinically indicated
-
Severely damaged or failing teeth present across the upper or lower arch, requiring full extraction and immediate or staged implant rehabilitation
-
Significant bone resorption has made traditional dentures unstable or uncomfortable, and implant-supported fixed teeth are recommended to improve function and quality of life
-
An existing removable denture no longer provides adequate stability, retention, or comfort, and a fixed implant-supported alternative is being considered
-
A full-arch restoration is required following trauma, advanced periodontal disease, or extensive decay affecting the majority of remaining teeth
-
Clinicians within New Zealand require precise, consistent All-on-X prosthesis fabrication from a dental laboratory with clear turnaround times.
HOW IDD DENTAL LAB FABRICATES ALL-ON-X PROSTHESES
STEP 01:
Case Submission
Your dental clinic submits digital scans, bite records, implant position data, and a clinical prescription to iDD Dental Lab. Clear records help ensure the all-on-x dental implants prosthesis is designed accurately from the outset.
STEP 02:
Prosthesis Design
The full-arch prosthesis is designed in CAD software with attention to occlusal contacts, implant angulation, and screw-access channel positioning. This directly influences how well the final implant denture fits and functions.
STEP 03:
Material Selection
Material selection: monolithic zirconia, titanium framework with ceramic, or acrylic hybrid, is guided by clinical presentation, aesthetic goals, and available implant options. The dental team confirms the restoration type before fabrication begins.
STEP 04:
Milling and Framework Fabrication
Each prosthesis is milled from a solid block of selected material or built over a precision-milled titanium framework. Accurate milling at this stage directly influences the fit, function, and long-term stability of the final restoration across every implant interface.
STEP 05:
Shade Characterisation and Surface Finishing
Surface characterisation, staining, and glaze are applied to replicate the natural appearance of teeth and soft tissue, ensuring a functional and aesthetically appropriate result for each patient.
STEP 06:
Quality Inspection and Dispatch
Each All-on-X prosthesis undergoes thorough quality inspection before dispatch. The treating dental team manages placement appointments while fabrication is completed at our New Zealand laboratory.

ALL-ON-X FABRICATION COST IN NEW ZEALAND
The cost of an All-on-X prosthesis in New Zealand varies depending on the material selected, the complexity of the case, and the volume of orders placed with the laboratory.
Many New Zealand dental clinics find that laboratory pricing for full-arch implant restorations differs between providers. The fabrication cost is influenced by the prosthesis type, material selected, number of implant interfaces involved, and any additional components required as part of the restoration.
