Denver Occlusal Splint / Night Guard

Denver dentists managing high bruxism caseloads need a lab that keeps up. Altitude and a population that skews toward high-stress careers and elite athletics create real demand for occlusal protection devices. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic night guards, soft thermoformed guards, dual-laminate splints, and Michigan-style stabilization splints. Every appliance comes with a thickness verification note and a direct line to the technician who built it.

  • 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.

Denver dentists managing high bruxism caseloads need a lab that keeps up. Altitude and a population that skews toward high-stress careers and elite athletics create real demand for occlusal protection devices. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic night guards, soft thermoformed guards, dual-laminate splints, and Michigan-style stabilization splints. Every appliance comes with a thickness verification note and a direct line to the technician who built it.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

Most national-volume labs routing through automated case management assign occlusal appliances to a generalist queue. The device comes back technically within spec but with no one to call if the vertical dimension is off by a half millimeter. Dani Dental runs a named-technician model. Your Denver practice gets one contact, one person who built the case, and a direct number, not a support ticket. Large-network labs often price occlusal appliances as a commodity tier and absorb remakes silently into volume. We would rather surface the fit question before the case ships. Our technicians photograph occlusal contact marks in articulation before packing every splint. That image ships with the case so you can see what we saw before your patient is in the chair. Communication turnaround is measured in hours, not days. Denver-area practices that have moved accounts to us consistently cite response time as the reason. If a case has a clinical question attached, the technician responds the same business day. Prescription clarity, scan quality flags, vertical dimension confirmations: all handled direct, no relay through a customer service layer.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

Denver dentists managing high bruxism caseloads need a lab that keeps up. Altitude and a population that skews toward high-stress careers and elite athletics create real demand for occlusal protection devices. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic night guards, soft thermoformed guards, dual-laminate splints, and Michigan-style stabilization splints. Every appliance comes with a thickness verification note and a direct line to the technician who built it. We accept intraoral scans from iTero, 3Shape, and Medit systems, which means Denver practices running a fully digital workflow ship cases without pouring a single model. Physical impressions work too. Scan data processes through our in-house CAD workflow before milling, so the occlusal surface is machined, not hand-formed. That step alone eliminates a significant source of chair-side adjustment. For practices that see a meaningful volume of TMD patients, we fabricate anterior deprogrammers and Lucia jig-style devices on request. If you are building a muscle deprogramming protocol and want consistent dimensional accuracy across sequential appointments, let us know at case submission. We note the vertical dimension from the first device and reference it on every remake or duplicate.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

What scan formats does Dani Dental accept for Denver occlusal splint cases?
We accept STL and PLY files from iTero, 3Shape, and Medit scanners. Upload through our case portal or send via your scanner's native share function. If you are submitting a physical PVS impression from your Denver practice, standard shipping to our Arizona lab runs 1 to 2 business days and does not count against fabrication turnaround time.
How thick is a standard hard acrylic night guard from your lab?
Our standard hard acrylic splint mills at 3mm on the occlusal surface before finishing. If your prescription specifies a different thickness for a particular patient, note it on the case form and we match it. Every case ships with a written thickness verification. Dual-laminate appliances use a 2mm hard base with a 1mm soft inner layer by default.
Can you fabricate a Michigan stabilization splint from a digital scan?
Yes. Michigan-style stabilization splints are a standard item in our occlusal appliance workflow. Submit the upper arch scan, a lower arch scan, and a bite registration or CR record. We design the ramp geometry in CAD and mill the splint from heat-cured acrylic. Turnaround is 5 business days standard, 3 business days on rush submission.
What is your remake policy if the splint does not seat correctly?
If a Dani Dental occlusal appliance does not seat within clinical tolerance due to a lab error, we remake it at no charge. Contact the technician directly with a photo of the seating issue and we schedule the remake the same day. Our trailing 12-month remake rate on occlusal appliances is under 2.5%, so this situation is uncommon, but the process is straightforward when it does occur.
Do you offer anterior deprogrammers for TMD patients?
Yes. We fabricate anterior deprogrammers, Lucia jig-style devices, and full-coverage stabilization splints for TMD protocols. Note the device type and target vertical dimension on the prescription. If you are running a multi-appointment deprogramming sequence, we log the original vertical dimension and reference it on every subsequent device to keep measurements consistent across the treatment arc.
How do Denver practices set up a new account with Dani Dental?
Call or submit the Doctor Kit request on our site. We send a new account packet, prescription pads, and a case submission guide within 2 business days. Your first occlusal appliance case gets a complimentary technician review call to confirm scan quality and prescription details before we start fabrication. Most Denver practices are submitting their second case before the first one ships.
