Case Study 1
North Texas Dental Surgery
Daniel Choi, DDS, periodontal specialist, enjoys performing complex dental implant surgical procedures, but was ready to give up doing full-arch/full-mouth procedures because too many cases were encountering restorative issues. After referring several problem cases to Don Ross, DDS, prosthodontist, he was happy to hear that Dr. Ross had developed a fully-digital process that would streamline the clinic’s restorative workflow and prevent almost all restorative complications as well. Now Dr. Choi is one of the leading providers of full-arch procedures in the Dallas metro area.
The Problem
- Patients were complaining about treatment times lasting 10-12 months.
- Temp dentures were breaking all too frequently.
- Several patients felt like the clinic had run out of options to get them what had been promised.
- Restorative problems were weighing on clinical morale regarding full-arch cases.
The Solution
- OnXX introduced photogrammetry to the practice and worked off a backlog of cases.
- Most patients received a new 3D-milled PMMA provisional denture a few days after precise implant capture with a photogrammetry camera.
- Patients also received 2 additional replica provisional dentures for future use.
- Zero breakage of provisional dentures.
- Minimal extra try-ins.
The Results
“The OnXX Digital process has been transformative for our practice.”
— Dr. Daniel Choi, DDS, Periodontist

Case Study 2
Immediate Smiles, OKC
Dr. Perry Brooks, OMS had a very busy surgical schedule in the latter part of 2020 and the first half of 2021, successfully placing hundreds of implants for full-arch restoration cases. Unfortunately, his restorative team was struggling.
The Problem
- Patients were complaining about ill-fitting temporary dentures and too many prosthetic appointments.
- Additional try-in appointments only exacerbated the problem.
- Patient frustration and staff anxiety levels were unacceptably high.
- The clinic wasn’t sure how it could service an accumulated backlog of approximately 50 arches.
The Solution
- OnXX digitized 5-8 arches per day using photogrammetry.
- Patients received a new 3D-milled PMMA temp within a week.
- Patients with fully-integrated implants received a nanoceramic final prosthesis 1-2 weeks after receiving their new temp.
- Zero breakage in both temp and finals.
- No re-work or extra try-ins.
“I’ll never do another arch without the OnXX digital process.”
