Avondale Intraoral Scan Acceptance

Avondale practices that have moved to chairside scanning often hit the same wall: the lab they have been using requires a PVS backup or charges a digital intake fee. Dani Dental does neither. Submit your STL, PLY, or native scanner file through the secure upload portal, and the case enters our design queue the same day. No conversion step, no translation loss, no phone tag to confirm receipt.

  • Pre-paid two-way shipping, nationwide
  • A named technician on every case
  • Margins verified against your prescription
  • Tempe + Tucson locations

THE SERVICE

Built to your prescription.

Avondale practices that have moved to chairside scanning often hit the same wall: the lab they have been using requires a PVS backup or charges a digital intake fee. Dani Dental does neither. Submit your STL, PLY, or native scanner file through the secure upload portal, and the case enters our design queue the same day. No conversion step, no translation loss, no phone tag to confirm receipt.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

Most national-volume labs that serve the West Valley route digital intake through a centralized triage desk. Your file passes through two or three handoffs before a technician sees it. Dani Dental assigns a named technician at intake, and that technician follows the case from design through finish. For Avondale doctors who have experienced the frustration of seating a restoration that looks nothing like the scan-based preview, that single-point accountability is the structural difference. Regional lab options in the Maricopa County market often accept scans but run them through milling centers that are not on-site, adding 24 to 48 hours of logistics between design approval and production start. Our Arizona facility mills and finishes in the same building where the case is designed. That compression in the workflow is what makes 3-day rush viable rather than a marketing promise with an asterisk. On price: scan-sourced cases are priced identically to impression-sourced cases for equivalent restorations. There is no digital premium. Crown pricing starts at published rates, visible on the Doctor Kit materials, with no procurement inquiry required to see a number. Doctors who have moved 10 or more units per month to Dani Dental have reported saving 30 to 45 minutes of chair and scheduling time per case by eliminating the impression-remake loop entirely.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

Avondale practices that have moved to chairside scanning often hit the same wall: the lab they have been using requires a PVS backup or charges a digital intake fee. Dani Dental does neither. Submit your STL, PLY, or native scanner file through the secure upload portal, and the case enters our design queue the same day. No conversion step, no translation loss, no phone tag to confirm receipt. For Avondale doctors working with iTero or 3Shape TRIOS specifically, we accept native file packages that preserve occlusal mapping and margin designations as captured. That means the technician building your crown or implant abutment is working from your original scan data, not a re-exported approximation. For full-arch cases, including All-on-X and implant-supported bridges, CBCT integration is available when your referring implant surgeon provides the DICOM alongside the scan. Turnaround on single-unit restorations from scan submission to shipment runs 5 to 7 business days for standard zirconia and lithium disilicate. Rush 3-day service is available for an additional fee, confirmed at intake. Every case ships with the direct line of the technician who built it, so if a question about fit or shade comes up at seating, you are talking to the person who made the piece, not a call center.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

Which intraoral scanner formats does Dani Dental accept for Avondale case submissions?
We accept open-format STL and PLY files plus native packages from iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit, Carestream, Planmeca, Dentsply Sirona, and Dental Wings. No conversion fee applies regardless of format. If you are unsure whether your scanner's export is compatible, email the lab before submitting and we will confirm within four business hours.
Do I need to send a PVS impression as a backup when submitting a scan?
No. Scan files are accepted as the sole record for single-unit crowns, bridges up to four units, implant abutments, and most full-arch cases. PVS backup is only requested in specific situations, such as a scan with flagged margin gaps the technician cannot resolve digitally, and we communicate that to you before production begins rather than delaying shipment without explanation.
What is the standard turnaround from scan submission to case shipment for an Avondale practice?
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days for single-unit zirconia and lithium disilicate restorations counted from the day the scan file is confirmed in our queue. Rush 3-day service is available at an additional fee confirmed at intake. Full-arch implant cases run 10 to 14 business days depending on design complexity and material selection.
How does Dani Dental handle scan files with marginal ambiguity or poor capture quality?
The assigned technician reviews margin integrity before the case enters design. If a margin is unclear, we contact the submitting doctor directly, typically within four business hours of intake, with a specific description of the area in question. We do not fabricate over ambiguous margins and ship hoping for the best. You get a call, a screenshot, and a clear choice: rescan the area or approve a technician-interpreted margin with documented notes.
Can Avondale practices integrate CBCT data with intraoral scan files for implant cases?
Yes. For implant-supported restorations, including All-on-X and multi-unit fixed implant bridges, we accept DICOM files from your surgeon or the imaging center alongside the intraoral scan. The technician overlays both datasets during design planning. This is standard for full-arch cases and available on request for single-implant crown work where the emergence profile requires prosthetic planning from the bone level.
Is there a price difference between scan-sourced and impression-sourced restorations?
No. Equivalent restorations are priced identically regardless of whether they originate from a scan or a PVS impression. There is no digital intake fee, no file-handling surcharge, and no format conversion charge. Published pricing is available in the Doctor Kit, which ships to Avondale-area practices on request within 3 business days.
