Henderson Intraoral Scan Acceptance

Henderson has grown into one of Nevada's busiest corridors for dental practices, with Green Valley, Anthem, and the Seven Hills area each supporting dense provider clusters. Practices in those neighborhoods are moving quickly toward full digital workflows, and a lab that stalls on scan acceptance creates a bottleneck right at the handoff. Dani Dental accepts STL, OBJ, and PLY files from every major intraoral scanner on the market. You drop the file in the secure portal, flag the shade and margin preference, and the digital design queue picks it up the same day.

  • 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.

Henderson has grown into one of Nevada's busiest corridors for dental practices, with Green Valley, Anthem, and the Seven Hills area each supporting dense provider clusters. Practices in those neighborhoods are moving quickly toward full digital workflows, and a lab that stalls on scan acceptance creates a bottleneck right at the handoff. Dani Dental accepts STL, OBJ, and PLY files from every major intraoral scanner on the market. You drop the file in the secure portal, flag the shade and margin preference, and the digital design queue picks it up the same day.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

Most national-network labs accept intraoral scans, but acceptance and optimization are different things. High-volume national operations route your STL into a shared queue where a production technician who has never spoken with you reviews the file. If the margin is ambiguous, the case sits or gets guessed. Dani assigns a named technician to each Henderson account, and that technician's direct line is printed on every case confirmation. When a scan has a marginal ridge question or an occlusal clearance flag, you get a call within 4 business hours, not a vague rejection note 48 hours later. Some regional labs in the Southwest have adopted scan acceptance as a checkbox feature without updating their internal milling or sintering workflow to match. The result is a digital front end feeding an analog back end, and the quality ceiling stays exactly where it was with impressions. Dani's workflow is end-to-end digital: scan receipt, nesting and design in 3Shape Dental System, 5-axis milling, and sintering on a calibrated schedule tied to specific material lots. The chain does not break halfway through. Transparency on pricing is a deliberate policy, not a sales tactic. Henderson doctors get a flat fee schedule for scan-based cases with no surcharge for file format, no digital handling fee, and no re-scan charge if Dani's technician identifies a correctable scan artifact before production begins. The goal is to remove the friction that makes practices hesitate before committing fully to a digital workflow.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

Henderson has grown into one of Nevada's busiest corridors for dental practices, with Green Valley, Anthem, and the Seven Hills area each supporting dense provider clusters. Practices in those neighborhoods are moving quickly toward full digital workflows, and a lab that stalls on scan acceptance creates a bottleneck right at the handoff. Dani Dental accepts STL, OBJ, and PLY files from every major intraoral scanner on the market. You drop the file in the secure portal, flag the shade and margin preference, and the digital design queue picks it up the same day. For Henderson clinicians, that means no impression trays sitting in a Styrofoam box crossing the valley. It also means the margin is captured at full resolution, without the dimensional shift that polyvinyl siloxane can introduce during a same-day pour. Monolithic zirconia, layered PFM, and full-contour e.max cases all start from the same clean STL, and the named technician assigned to your account reviews the file before CAD work begins, not after a problem surfaces at try-in. Scan-to-restoration turnaround for standard crown cases runs 5 to 7 business days from file confirmation. Rush cases, defined as 3 business days, are available on request and flagged in the portal at submission. Implant-supported restorations require a matching scan body library entry; Dani's library covers Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Zimmer Biomet, BioHorizons, and Implant Direct, with custom library additions available for practices running a different system.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

Which intraoral scanners does Dani Dental accept from Henderson practices?
Dani accepts files from iTero Element series, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit i500 and i700, Planmeca Emerald, Carestream CS 3600, and Sirona CEREC Omnicam, among others. If your scanner exports STL, OBJ, or PLY, the file is compatible. Practices running a less common platform can contact the lab before the first submission to confirm format support, typically resolved within one business day.
How do Henderson doctors send scan files to Dani Dental?
Files are submitted through Dani's HIPAA-compliant secure portal. After login, you select the case type, upload the STL or OBJ, enter shade and margin notes, and submit. A design confirmation is sent within 48 hours of receipt. Practices preferring to transmit via 3Shape Communicate or Medit Link can request that connection through their account technician.
Is there a fee difference between scan-based and impression-based cases?
Scan-based cases are priced on the same flat fee schedule as impression cases. There is no digital handling surcharge, no file-format conversion fee, and no charge for the initial scan review. The fee schedule is sent to every new Henderson account before the first case is submitted, so there are no line items that appear at invoice time.
What happens if the scan has a marginal issue Dani's technician flags before milling?
If the assigned technician identifies a correctable artifact, an ambiguous margin, or a scan body mismatch before CAD work begins, they call the submitting practice directly within 4 business hours. You can either rescan and resubmit at no re-submission charge, or provide a clarifying note if the margin is clinically acceptable and the flag was conservative. The case does not move to production until that conversation is closed.
What is the standard turnaround for intraoral-scan-based crowns submitted from Henderson?
Standard crown turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from file confirmation, meaning the day the technician confirms the scan is production-ready. Rush turnaround of 3 business days is available on request at submission. Cases flagged rush before noon local time on a business day are entered into the same-day design queue. The portal displays the estimated ship date at confirmation.
Does Dani Dental support implant scan cases with custom scan bodies not in the standard library?
The standard scan body library covers Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Zimmer Biomet, BioHorizons, and Implant Direct. For systems outside that list, Henderson practices can request a library addition by submitting the manufacturer's scan body STL file. Custom additions are typically integrated within 3 to 5 business days and then available for all future cases from that account.
