Before you send
The questions a
full-arch office asks.
What a case needs, where the patient is seen, and what each piece of the work actually is — answered the way Tina answers it on the phone.
Questions
Asked before the first case.
Eight answers, all of them from the way the work is described elsewhere on this site.
- How does a dentist send a case to Tina?
- Use the case form on this site. It takes the arches, the date, and the CBCT scans and case photos you attach, so everything reaches her together. If the case is tight, call or text instead — a full-arch day does not wait for a form to be read.
- What records does she need with the case?
- Send your CBCT scan and your case photos with the request. The scan can be whatever your scanner exports — a DICOM folder, a PDF report, or photos of the scan on screen. Photos of the arch, the denture or provisional the patient is in now, the bite and the smile are enough, and phone photos are fine.
- Does the patient come to her, or does she work in my office?
- Doctors send the case. Patients are seen in your office, never here. There is no clinic to visit and no walk-in location, so the patient’s day happens in your operatory with your team.
- What does the digital workup cover?
- She reads the intraoral scan, the CBCT and the photogrammetry together, and checks that the implant positions agree across all three. Anything that will not work is flagged before the arch is fabricated, while there is still time to change it. The notes back to you say what the records do and do not support.
- Can an existing denture be converted instead of replaced?
- Often, yes. When the patient already has a denture worth keeping, converting it is the better answer than building new. The denture is reinforced, the attachments or housings are placed for your abutments, and the tooth position and look your patient already approved are kept. It comes back ready to seat and pick up chairside.
- What is an immediate-load provisional built from?
- It is built around the surgical plan and the abutment positions you are placing, on your multi-unit abutments and temporary cylinders. Where the plan changes in the room, the prosthesis is made to be adjusted — relieved, picked up and finished — rather than thrown away. It arrives seated on a verified model, with guidance for your team on seating and adjusting it the same day.
- What does the Assistant Academy cost, and who is it for?
- It is $100 per learner: eight self-paced modules for dental assistants and full-arch teams, with roughly four hours of suggested study and practice time and a printable case-day toolkit. The path runs from the first record to the final lab handoff, and each module pairs a short lesson with a knowledge check and rehearsal in simulation. It is educational preparation, not clinical certification or CE credit.
- How do I reach her?
- Call or text (941) 250-2098, one number straight to Tina, or email tina@allonxstaffing.com. A doctor with a case in the chair this week can reach a person today.
