Fixed x RapidArch: Innovative Workflows in Dentistry: A Dive into AI Design: Part 1

2026-10-0534:42

“AI full-arch designs in 2 to 5 minutes” sounds like hype until you hear the workflow behind it. We sit down with Dr. Naeem Etemadi and Dr. Deep Desai, the founders of RapidArch, to unpack how they’re compressing full-arch conversion steps that many labs quote at 45 to 60 minutes into a process that can run in seconds to a few minutes, depending on the records. If you care about same-day All-on-4, All-on-X predictability, and getting patients out of the chair faster without gambling on fit, t...

Fixed x Colorado Surgical: A Look into Implant Continuing Education: Part 2

2026-09-2142:08

The fastest way to lose a case is to treat a consultation like a transaction. We talk through how a simple shift in environment and language can change everything in implant dentistry, from case acceptance to patient trust. Privacy matters more than most practices admit, and we share practical ways to create it even if you don’t have a dedicated consult room, plus why patients open up when the door closes and they feel safe enough to tell the truth about what happened over the years. W...

Fixed x Dr. Ryan Slone: The Comprehensive Approach: Balancing Prosthodontics and Surgery: Part 2

2026-08-2439:04

Full-arch implant dentistry can feel like two jobs at once: delivering precise clinical outcomes while also running a business that swings month to month.

The answer isn’t about our preference, it’s about nerves, chair time, communication, and protecting occlusion so the final prosthetics start on the right foun...

Fixed x Dr. Ryan Sloan: The Comprehensive Approach: Balancing Prosthodontics and Surgery: Part 1

2026-08-1043:45

A patient walks in asking for full arch dental implants, but their teeth are not quite “terminal.” Another patient has one arch that is clearly headed for All On X, while the other could be saved with a full mouth rehabilitation. Those are the moments where implant dentistry stops being a procedure and becomes a decision making framework. We talk with prosthodontist Dr. Ryan Sloan of Smile Now Boise about how a prosthodontist plus surgical GP team expands options without overwhelming patients...

Fixed x Dr. Pallotto: Streamlined Success: Modern Approaches to Digital Dentistry: Part 2

2026-07-2147:16

Your full-arch case can look perfect in CAD and still land in the mouth with a crooked bite and hours of adjustment. We get specific about why that happens and what to change, starting with a simple discipline that pays off fast: retorque multi-unit abutments before phase two photogrammetry and before you commit to the next prosthetic step. When insertion torque is low, we talk through the most underused tool in implant dentistry, waiting longer, so stability drives your timeline instead of y...
