Chandler Occlusal Splint / Night Guard

Chandler dentists working in the dense southeast Valley corridor see a high volume of bruxism and TMD cases. Occlusal appliances are a recurring, high-frequency prescription item for those practices, and lab turnaround directly affects how quickly you can close out that treatment plan and get the patient off your schedule. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic Michigan-style splints, dual-laminate night guards, and soft thermoplastic appliances from a fully digital workflow.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

National-volume labs running occlusal appliances at high throughput often route night guard cases through a standardized press-and-polish line with no named technician accountable for the finished piece. When a fit issue lands back on your desk, you are filing a support ticket, not calling a person. Dani Dental assigns a technician to your account. Their direct line is in every shipment. That is not a promise buried in a brochure, it is how the workflow is built. Turnaround from large clearinghouse labs frequently quotes seven to ten business days after they receive a physical impression. A Chandler practice using intraoral scanning and submitting digitally to Dani Dental typically sees the finished appliance in five to seven business days from scan approval, not from the day a PVS impression arrives at a dock. That difference is one to three days of recovered schedule per case. Price transparency is a real issue in this category. Occlusal appliance pricing from high-volume national labs often lives inside a tiered account structure that requires a procurement conversation before you know what you are actually paying. Dani Dental publishes per-unit ranges for each appliance type. You know the number before you submit the case. No volume tier minimum to unlock the rate, no renegotiation cycle every 12 months.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

Chandler dentists working in the dense southeast Valley corridor see a high volume of bruxism and TMD cases. Occlusal appliances are a recurring, high-frequency prescription item for those practices, and lab turnaround directly affects how quickly you can close out that treatment plan and get the patient off your schedule. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic Michigan-style splints, dual-laminate night guards, and soft thermoplastic appliances from a fully digital workflow. You send an intraoral scan through your preferred STL pipeline, we mill or press the appliance, and it ships back to your Chandler office in five to seven business days under standard routing. Every splint is articulated and adjusted to the prescription before it leaves the bench. If you submit a vertical dimension or protrusive record with the case, we build to it. No assumptions. The technician who reviewed your prescription signs off on the finished appliance, and their direct contact number ships inside the box. If the fit is off, you call that number directly, not a general queue. Digital scan submissions eliminate the polyvinyl siloxane pour-up step entirely, which typically recovers 15 to 20 minutes of team time per case on the practice side. Chandler accounts that have transitioned fully to scan-based appliance submissions report fewer phone calls about loose-fitting guards and fewer same-week remake requests. The workflow change is straightforward: we can walk your team through onboarding in a single 20-minute call.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

What file formats does Dani Dental accept for occlusal splint cases from Chandler practices?
We accept STL files from any major intraoral scanner, including iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit, and Cerec Omnicam. You can upload directly through our case submission portal or send via your preferred digital transfer platform. Physical PVS impressions are also accepted for practices that have not yet transitioned to digital scanning, and we pour and scan them in-house at no additional charge.
How long does a standard occlusal splint take to fabricate and ship to Chandler?
Standard turnaround for hard acrylic and dual-laminate appliances is five to seven business days from scan approval or physical impression receipt. Rush service, returning the finished appliance in three business days, is available for an additional fee. Same-day or next-day fabrication is not currently offered for splint cases. Contact your assigned technician to confirm capacity before submitting a rush request.
What types of occlusal appliances does Dani Dental fabricate?
We fabricate hard acrylic Michigan-style splints, dual-laminate night guards with a hard outer shell and soft inner layer, and soft thermoplastic appliances for lower-bruxism-load cases. All three are available on the same prescription form. If you have a specific material or thickness preference, note it in the prescription comments and the technician will confirm before fabricating.
My patient has a high bite force and has cracked two previous night guards. What do you recommend?
For high-force bruxers, a 3mm to 4mm hard acrylic Michigan splint milled from heat-cured PMMA is the most durable option we offer. Dual-laminate appliances provide some force absorption but the hard shell is thinner and more prone to fracture under extreme load. Note the clinical history on the prescription and your assigned technician can discuss material specifications before fabrication begins.
What is your remake policy if the splint does not seat properly?
If the appliance does not seat within clinically acceptable margins and the issue traces to fabrication rather than a scan error, we remake at no charge. Call the technician whose number shipped with the case directly, describe the fit issue, and they will determine whether a re-scan or a lab-side adjustment resolves it faster. Our current remake rate across all splint cases is under 2.5%, tracked over a 12-month rolling window.
Can Chandler practices submit occlusal splint cases alongside crown and bridge or implant work on the same shipment?
Yes. Multi-service case submissions are supported under one prescription login. Crown and bridge, implant restorations, and occlusal appliances can ship on the same account with individual case tracking. Turnaround windows are assigned per case type, not per shipment, so your splint and your PFM crown may not return together if their fabrication times differ. The portal shows the status of each case independently.
