What to Include When Sending a Case to a Dental Laboratory

Most delays come from missing information. A complete prescription, a clear scan or impression and a reliable bite registration let the laboratory start immediately.

Prepared by Choice Dental · Updated

Every case

  • Patient reference (avoid unnecessary personal details)
  • Tooth numbers and restoration type
  • Material, or the clinical situation if you want the laboratory’s recommendation
  • Shade, plus stump shade for translucent materials
  • Scan or impression of the preparation, the opposing arch and a bite registration
  • Required date, and any notes on contacts, occlusion or embrasures

Shade communication

A photograph with the shade tab held in the same plane as the tooth, taken in neutral light, is more useful than a shade code alone. For translucent materials such as zirconia, the colour of the prepared tooth (stump shade) affects the final result.

Implant restorations

  • Implant system, platform diameter and connection type
  • Scan body used (digital) or impression coping and analogue (conventional)
  • Screw-retained or cement-retained, and the abutment type wanted
  • Soft-tissue information if the emergence profile is critical

Removable partial dentures

  • Accurate impressions or scans of both arches, including the supporting tissues
  • Prepared rest seats and guide planes, if your design requires them
  • Jaw relation record and any design preferences (clasps, connectors)

Night guards

  • Scans or impressions of both arches
  • A bite registration at the desired opening
  • Arch (upper or lower) and hard, soft or dual material preference
