Salt Lake City Occlusal Splint / Night Guard

Occlusal splints and night guards are precision appliances. A poor fit means patient discomfort, chairside adjustment time that eats into your schedule, and a call back to the lab. Salt Lake City practices working with Dani Dental submit digital scans or PVS impressions, and every case is poured, articulated, and finished by a named technician who takes responsibility for that case from intake to delivery. No anonymous production floor routing.

THE SERVICE

Built to your prescription.

Occlusal splints and night guards are precision appliances. A poor fit means patient discomfort, chairside adjustment time that eats into your schedule, and a call back to the lab. Salt Lake City practices working with Dani Dental submit digital scans or PVS impressions, and every case is poured, articulated, and finished by a named technician who takes responsibility for that case from intake to delivery. No anonymous production floor routing.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

Most national-volume labs route night guards through a separate outsourced appliance division, which means your case moves between facilities and the technician who poured the model never touches the finished product. Dani Dental fabricates every occlusal appliance in-house. The same team that handles your crown and bridge handles your splints. That matters when a case has a nuanced bite or a patient with a documented TMD history that needs a note in the case file. The technician's direct line ships with every case. If a Salt Lake City doctor seats a splint and finds a contact that needs a quick note for the remake, they call the technician, not a general customer service queue. Response time is measured in hours, not business days. That communication model is not common at the agency-tier national labs, where case volume makes individual technician accountability structurally difficult. Price transparency is also a real difference. Dani Dental publishes ranges for hard acrylic and dual-laminate appliances rather than requiring a quote request for every case type. Utah practices managing fee schedules and lab budgets quarterly do not need a procurement process for a night guard. The number is on the fee schedule, the turnaround is stated, and the technician is named. That is the entire arrangement.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

Occlusal splints and night guards are precision appliances. A poor fit means patient discomfort, chairside adjustment time that eats into your schedule, and a call back to the lab. Salt Lake City practices working with Dani Dental submit digital scans or PVS impressions, and every case is poured, articulated, and finished by a named technician who takes responsibility for that case from intake to delivery. No anonymous production floor routing. The Utah market sees a high volume of bruxism and TMD cases, particularly among younger adult patients whose stress-related parafunction has increased substantially post-2020. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic Michigan-style flat-plane splints, dual-laminate EVA appliances for moderate bruxers, and soft NTI-style anterior deprogrammers. Each appliance is trimmed and polished to a defined surface finish standard, with occlusal contacts verified on the articulator before shipment. You are not guessing at fit when the box arrives. For doctors running digital workflows, intraoral scan files from iTero, 3Shape Trios, or Medit are accepted directly. No physical impression required. The digital file is processed same day it arrives, and fabrication begins within 24 hours of design approval. For practices still on traditional impressions, standard PVS and alginate cases are accepted with no surcharge penalty, and turnaround targets remain identical.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

What occlusal splint designs does Dani Dental fabricate for Salt Lake City practices?
Currently in active production: hard acrylic Michigan-style flat-plane splints, dual-laminate soft-hard EVA appliances, and anterior deprogrammers. All three are fabricated in-house in Arizona and shipped to Salt Lake City. If your practice has a preferred design protocol or a specific bite registration method, note it on the Rx and the assigned technician will confirm before fabrication begins.
Do you accept intraoral scan files instead of physical impressions for night guards?
Yes. iTero, 3Shape Trios, and Medit scan files are all accepted directly. Upload through the Dani Dental portal and fabrication begins within 24 hours of design approval. No physical impression is required and there is no surcharge for digital submission. Traditional PVS and alginate impressions are also accepted at the same turnaround and price point.
What is the standard turnaround for a Salt Lake City occlusal splint case?
Five to seven business days for most hard acrylic and dual-laminate cases from the date the case arrives at the lab. Rush cases with a two- to three-day target are available; contact your assigned technician before submitting to confirm capacity. Digital scan cases that clear design approval by noon Arizona time typically ship one day ahead of the standard window.
How does Dani Dental handle a splint that needs adjustment after the patient appointment?
Call or text the technician directly. The direct line is included with every shipped case. Describe the contact or fit issue and the technician will advise whether a chairside adjustment resolves it or whether a no-charge remake is the right call. Most fit issues on Dani cases are resolved chairside in under five minutes, but if a remake is warranted, it ships within three to four business days.
What does a hard acrylic night guard cost from Dani Dental?
Fee schedule ranges are published and available without a quote request. Contact Dani Dental to receive the current Utah-region fee schedule, which covers hard acrylic, dual-laminate, and anterior deprogrammer pricing. There is no procurement process or account minimum required to access pricing. New Salt Lake City practices can also request the Doctor Kit, which includes the full fee schedule along with case submission materials.
Is Dani Dental a good fit for a Salt Lake City practice that sees a high volume of TMD patients?
Yes, and it is worth noting on the Rx when a case involves a documented TMD history. The technician assigned to your account will review the occlusal scheme, articulator mounting, and any bite registration notes before fabricating. Practices with complex TMD caseloads sometimes prefer to schedule a brief call with the technician before submitting the first case to align on design preferences. That call takes about ten minutes and is offered at no charge.
