Albuquerque Intraoral Scan Acceptance

Albuquerque dentists who have moved to chairside scanners should not have to re-enter an impression workflow just to work with their lab. Dani Dental accepts intraoral scan files from the platforms most common in New Mexico practices: iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit, and Carestream. You upload the STL or use the designated transfer portal, and the file routes directly to the technician assigned to your account.

  • 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.

Albuquerque dentists who have moved to chairside scanners should not have to re-enter an impression workflow just to work with their lab. Dani Dental accepts intraoral scan files from the platforms most common in New Mexico practices: iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit, and Carestream. You upload the STL or use the designated transfer portal, and the file routes directly to the technician assigned to your account.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

Most regional labs that serve the Albuquerque market accept scans in name only. In practice, that means someone converts your STL to a working model, pours stone, and hands it to a technician who never opens the digital file. You pay for digital and get analog. Dani Dental runs scan-to-mill or scan-to-print all the way through, with no analog conversion step inserted to accommodate legacy equipment. Nationally networked lab programs offer digital workflows too, but the technician who reviews your file is not the person who builds your case, and neither of them knows your preparation style or margin preference from six months ago. At Dani, each Albuquerque account is assigned a named technician. That technician's direct line ships with every case. When you call about a scan question, you reach the person who actually read the file, not a general intake queue. Price transparency is the other separation point. National-tier lab programs require account reps, procurement calls, and tiered pricing schedules that change quarterly. Dani Dental publishes its scan-accepted restoration ranges so an Albuquerque practice manager can forecast lab costs without a phone call. No minimum case volume required to access the digital submission workflow.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

Albuquerque dentists who have moved to chairside scanners should not have to re-enter an impression workflow just to work with their lab. Dani Dental accepts intraoral scan files from the platforms most common in New Mexico practices: iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit, and Carestream. You upload the STL or use the designated transfer portal, and the file routes directly to the technician assigned to your account. From there, the workflow stays digital all the way through design. Our team uses the scan data to verify margin definition, occlusal clearance, and contact geometry before a single block of zirconia or e.max is touched. If the scan has a problem, we call you within the same business day rather than silently manufacturing something that will come back for a remake. That single step eliminates most of the downstream chair-time loss Albuquerque clinicians report when working with labs that skip the pre-production review. Turnaround from file receipt to finished restoration ships to your Albuquerque address or a same-day pickup arrangement in the Phoenix corridor for cases logged before noon. Rush windows are available and priced transparently at the time of order, not as a surprise line on the invoice.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

Which intraoral scan formats does Dani Dental accept from Albuquerque practices?
We accept STL and PLY files from iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit, and Carestream scanners. Most other open-format exports work as well. If you are unsure whether your scanner's output is compatible, send a test file through the portal and we will confirm compatibility within one business day, no commitment required.
How do I submit a scan file for a case?
Albuquerque practices submit through Dani Dental's secure file transfer portal. You receive login credentials when your account is set up, typically within 24 hours of your first contact. Files are reviewed by your assigned technician, not a general intake queue. You will get a same-day acknowledgment confirming margin quality and case acceptance.
What happens if the scan has margin issues or insufficient data?
We flag it the same day we receive it. Your named technician calls or emails with a specific description of the issue, not a generic rejection notice. In most cases, a retake or a targeted rescan of the affected quadrant resolves it without requiring a full new appointment. We do not manufacture from a compromised scan and then invoice you for a remake.
What is the turnaround time for scan-submitted cases shipped to Albuquerque?
Standard single-unit zirconia or e.max cases run 5 to 7 business days from file acceptance to delivery at your Albuquerque address. Design confirmation for complex or multi-unit cases comes within 48 hours of scan receipt. Rush production is available at a published rate and must be requested at order entry, not after production has started.
Do I need a minimum monthly case volume to use the digital submission workflow?
No minimum. A single-dentist Albuquerque practice submitting one or two cases a month gets the same scan-to-mill workflow and named-technician assignment as a multi-doctor group practice. Case volume affects shipping economics, not access to the digital process itself.
Can Dani Dental handle full-arch scan cases, not just single units?
Yes. Full-arch cases, including All-on-X prosthetics and implant-supported bridges, are accepted via intraoral scan. These cases route to technicians with specific full-arch experience. We request a CBCT dataset alongside the intraoral scan for implant cases to verify spatial accuracy before beginning design. Albuquerque practices can coordinate that file transfer through the same portal.
