THE SERVICE

Built to your prescription.

Scottsdale practices run demanding schedules. A single-unit ceramic inlay or onlay that fits on the first seating keeps your chair productive and your patient satisfied. Dani Dental handles inlay and onlay cases as digital-first workflow: submit an intraoral scan, receive a contour approval image within one business day, and expect the finished restoration at your door in five business days under standard scheduling. No analog impression required unless your workflow demands it.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

Large national-network labs run ceramic inlay and onlay cases through tiered production queues. Volume is the model. A case submitted by a Scottsdale practice competes for bench time against thousands of cases from across the country, and the technician completing your restoration has no relationship with your office. Dani Dental is structured differently: cases are assigned to named technicians, and Scottsdale accounts have a consistent contact from case one forward. That continuity shortens the calibration curve from two to three months of adjustment cases down to a handful. The Arizona roots matter here in a practical way. The Dobrikov family established its U.S. operation in Arizona in 1993. Scottsdale-area practices are not a satellite market for Dani Dental; they are the home market. Local courier pickup is available for practices preferring not to rely on standard shipping, and in-person case consultations can be arranged at a Scottsdale-area location without routing through a regional rep layer. On price transparency: ceramic inlay and onlay pricing is published in ranges, not provided only after a sales call. Scottsdale practices evaluating lab options should be comparing cost against chair-time saved on remakes and adjustments, not hunting for a quote buried in a procurement form. A restoration that seats in one appointment at a clear price is a different value proposition than a nominally cheaper one that generates two adjustment appointments.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

Scottsdale practices run demanding schedules. A single-unit ceramic inlay or onlay that fits on the first seating keeps your chair productive and your patient satisfied. Dani Dental handles inlay and onlay cases as digital-first workflow: submit an intraoral scan, receive a contour approval image within one business day, and expect the finished restoration at your door in five business days under standard scheduling. No analog impression required unless your workflow demands it. Material selection is case-specific, not default. For posterior load-bearing restorations we routinely fabricate in high-strength monolithic zirconia or lithium disilicate, chosen against the occlusal load profile and shade requirements you specify. Scottsdale patients often present with high cosmetic expectations alongside molar function demands; both are addressable in the same restoration when the ceramist makes material decisions deliberately rather than by catalog default. Every ceramic inlay and onlay case ships with direct contact information for the technician who built it. If a seating question comes up chairside, you reach the person who actually made the restoration, not a general support line. That single detail eliminates most of the back-and-forth that makes remake situations slow.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

Do you accept intraoral scans for ceramic inlay and onlay cases, or do you require physical impressions?
Digital scans are the preferred submission format. Dani Dental's milling and design workflow is built around STL and DCM files from major intraoral scanner platforms. Physical impressions are accepted when your clinical workflow requires them, but scan-based cases move faster: contour approval images are returned within one business day of scan receipt, versus two business days for poured models.
What ceramic materials are available for inlay and onlay restorations?
Lithium disilicate and high-strength monolithic zirconia cover the majority of Scottsdale cases. Lithium disilicate suits anterior and premolar restorations where translucency matters. Monolithic zirconia handles heavy molar load situations with less fracture risk. Feldspathic porcelain layering is available for specific cosmetic cases. Material recommendation is included with every contour approval image, with the reasoning stated.
What is the standard turnaround time for a single-unit ceramic inlay or onlay?
Five business days from the day a complete digital file is received. Rush scheduling at three business days is available for an additional fee. Both timelines assume the contour approval image is confirmed within the same business day it is sent; delays in approval push the delivery date accordingly. Local courier pickup in the Scottsdale area can shave one shipping day from each end of the timeline.
How does pricing work for ceramic inlay and onlay cases?
Pricing is published in unit ranges by material and restoration type. No quote request form, no sales call required to see a number. Scottsdale practices can view current inlay and onlay ranges in the Doctor Kit, which ships free on request. Volume tier pricing applies at 20-plus units per month and is documented in the same kit, not negotiated case by case.
Who do I contact if a restoration needs adjustment after seating?
Each case ships with the direct phone and email of the technician who fabricated the restoration. Seating day questions go to that person directly. If an adjustment or remake is required, the same technician handles it, which means no re-explanation of the clinical situation to a new contact. Remake decisions are typically resolved within one phone call and one business day of notification.
Can Dani Dental accommodate Scottsdale practices that want to discuss cases in person?
Yes. In-person case consultations are available at a Scottsdale-area location without routing through a regional representative. This is relevant for practices introducing digital workflow for the first time or working through a complex occlusal case where photos and scans do not tell the full story. Contact the lab directly to schedule; no sales intermediary is involved.
