Your full-arch lab invoice just landed and the number does not match the case

<p>You opened the invoice for a zirconia hybrid or titanium-bar acrylic case, ran the math against what you charged the patient, and the lab line ate a chunk of the case you did not budget for. If you are a general dentist running two to four full-arch cases a quarter, or a small DSO procurement lead consolidating spend across ten to thirty offices, that single per-arch number pulls your whole lab-cost ratio out of range on your highest-dollar cases.</p><p>Here is what the SERP will not tell you: only two of the top ten results for this exact query are written for dentists. The top B2B page, nextdentallab.com, quotes $80 to $100 per arch, but that number is for conventional full dentures, not implant-supported prosthetics. The rest of the top ten is patient cost content ($14K to $36K per arch on ClearChoice, $62K finish quotes on Reddit) that has nothing to do with what your lab is actually charging you. A peer post inside the All-on-4 Facebook group cites roughly $10K in combined parts and lab fees on a dual-arch case against a $17K per-arch patient fee. That is the number worth checking your invoice against, and no B2B page publishes it in a form you can use.</p><p>If your lab has not refused the case outright but is quoting a price that reads as a soft no, that is a different problem (see: when a lab will not take your full arch case). This page is for the case where the lab said yes, delivered the work, and sent you a number that does not line up with the category.</p><p>The specific ICPs feeling this most acutely right now: restorative practice owners running full-arch as 15% or more of case mix, small DSO procurement leads in the 10 to 30 office band where a single per-arch delta multiplies across sites, and oral surgeons paying two separate vendors for the surgical guide and the final prosthetic on the same case.</p>

<p>Full-arch pricing varies more than any other category in the lab industry because the cost stack has five real buckets and most labs bundle them into one line. Those buckets are CAD and design time, milling and materials, printing for provisionals, technician bench time on arch calibration and passive fit verification, and QC plus shipping. A national lab with outsourced milling pays a mill center margin on top of the block cost. A boutique lab with no in-house mill pays the same margin. A family-run lab that mills zirconia in-house on a 5-axis machine removes that margin from the stack entirely.</p><p>The second driver is bench time. A full-arch case is not a bigger crown. It requires arch calibration, occlusal scheme verification, and passive fit checks that a single unit does not need. Labs that treat full-arch like scaled-up crown-and-bridge under-quote the bench hours, then either eat the loss on the first case and reprice, or they absorb the loss and pass it on to the next full-arch invoice. Either way you pay.</p><p>The third driver is the remake math. If your current lab runs a 6% full-arch remake rate against an industry-defensible range under 5%, every one-in-sixteen case costs you a full chairside adjustment cycle, patient rescheduling, and the technician time to rebuild. That is not on the invoice. It is on your P&L three weeks later.</p>

<p>Dani Dental publishes actual per-arch bands by prosthetic type (PMMA long-term provisional, titanium bar acrylic hybrid, monolithic zirconia hybrid, screw-retained zirconia on multi-unit abutments) with the assumptions stated up front: implant-system agnostic, screw-retained, standard shade, no custom pink layering. You get the number before the case is scanned, not after. Milling runs in-house on a 5-axis machine at the Arizona lab, which strips the outsourced-mill margin out of the cost basis on every zirconia arch.</p><p>The Dobrikov family has been on the bench since 1988 in Sofia and 1993 in Arizona. Three generations working the same cases means the overhead line looks nothing like a national lab carrying regional sales reps and multi-state courier networks. That cost delta lands on your invoice, not on a marketing budget. Every full-arch case ships with the technician's direct line, response inside one business day on active cases, and a remake rate tracked internally at under 2.5% on full-arch (verifying against 2026 case data).</p><p>Send your current full-arch invoice and the case type. Dani returns a per-arch quote and projected turnaround inside two business days, no sales call. If you run 10 to 30 offices, request the multi-site pricing sheet with fixed per-arch bands and a single point of accountability across all locations.</p>
