THE SERVICE

Built to your prescription.

Austin practices deal with a patient population that skews young, high-stress, and chronically under-slept. Bruxism referrals and TMD management cases are a consistent part of the schedule for general and sleep dentistry offices throughout the metro, from South Congress clinics to the Domain-area group practices. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic, soft, and dual-laminate occlusal splints using calibrated articulation and verified occlusal contacts on every unit. No batch-line guessing.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

Most national-volume dental labs route occlusal appliance cases through a general production queue with no fixed technician assignment. That works fine for volume crown-and-bridge. For splints, where occlusal fit determines whether the appliance actually reduces parafunction, anonymous queue production produces inconsistent results. Dani Dental assigns a named technician to every occlusal appliance case. If the fit is off or the patient's occlusion has shifted since the last appliance, you call that technician directly, not a general support line. Austin is also not a market where dentists have time to wait five days just to get a case acknowledgment. Our standard is a same-business-day response to new case submissions and a technician callback within four business hours if the case has a clinical question attached. That communication standard is a formal part of how we operate, not a marketing claim left to interpretation. On quality metrics, our occlusal appliance remake rate runs under 2.5 percent across all appliance types, tracked on a rolling 12-month basis. The lab was founded in Arizona in 1993 and has operated under the same family ownership since then. Three generations of bench experience mean the senior technicians on the floor have personally worked through every common failure mode in hard acrylic fabrication. Austin practices that have tried large-network labs and found the fit and communication inconsistent tend to stay with Dani once they run a comparison case.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

Austin practices deal with a patient population that skews young, high-stress, and chronically under-slept. Bruxism referrals and TMD management cases are a consistent part of the schedule for general and sleep dentistry offices throughout the metro, from South Congress clinics to the Domain-area group practices. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic, soft, and dual-laminate occlusal splints using calibrated articulation and verified occlusal contacts on every unit. No batch-line guessing. We accept full-arch PVS impressions, stone models, or digital STL files from any major intraoral scanner including iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, and Carestream. Austin offices that have moved to fully digital workflows can send scans directly and skip impression shipping entirely, which typically saves one to two days on turnaround. Every appliance ships with a bite registration check and the direct line of the technician who built it. Ranges for hard acrylic flat-plane splints, dual-laminate guards, and repositioning appliances are available on request. We do not run a procurement maze. One call or email gets you a quoted price, a confirmed slot, and a case number you can track.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

What appliance types does Dani Dental fabricate for Austin offices?
We fabricate hard acrylic flat-plane splints, soft night guards, dual-laminate guards, anterior deprogrammers, and full-coverage repositioning appliances. If you have a specific design your patients have responded well to, send us the specs and we match the protocol. We do not limit Austin practices to a fixed menu.
Can I send a digital scan instead of a physical impression?
Yes. We accept STL files from iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Carestream, and most other intraoral scanners in common use across Austin. Digital submission typically saves one to two days compared to impression shipping. Email or upload the files directly and your technician will confirm receipt within four business hours.
What is the standard turnaround for a hard acrylic night guard?
Standard turnaround for hard acrylic flat-plane splints is seven to ten business days from case receipt. Rush slots at three business days are available for hard acrylic and dual-laminate cases. Contact your assigned technician before submitting a rush case to confirm availability. Rush fees apply and are quoted upfront.
How does Dani Dental handle remakes on occlusal appliances?
Our rolling 12-month remake rate across all occlusal appliance types is under 2.5 percent. When a remake is warranted, the same technician who built the original case handles the correction. We do not charge for remakes that result from a lab error. Cases involving changes in the patient's occlusion after delivery are quoted separately.
Do you work with Austin sleep dentistry and TMD-focused practices specifically?
Yes. Sleep dentistry and TMD practices make up a meaningful portion of our occlusal appliance volume. We understand the clinical nuance between a bruxism guard and a repositioning appliance, and the technician assigned to your account will have worked cases in both categories. You do not need to re-explain the difference on every order.
How do I get pricing for occlusal splints without going through a long approval process?
Call or email us directly. We quote pricing for hard acrylic splints, dual-laminate guards, and repositioning appliances on first contact, no multi-step procurement process required. Austin practices receive a written price confirmation with every case number so there are no billing surprises when the appliance ships.
