THE SERVICE

Built to your prescription.

San Diego dentists adding sleep medicine to their practice mix are working in one of the more active MAD markets in the Southwest. The region's large military population, active-lifestyle demographics, and network of ENT and sleep-medicine referral partners push steady demand for oral appliance therapy. Dani Dental fabricates mandibular advancement devices in titratable and fixed configurations, using digital models from intraoral scans or conventional PVS impressions.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

National-network labs operating at volume often assign MAD cases to generalist technicians rotating through multiple product lines. At Dani Dental, sleep appliance cases are handled by technicians who work that category consistently. The result is tighter fit accuracy and fewer adjustment appointments. Our Arizona-based lab has operated under the same family ownership since 1993, so the technician accountability that comes with a named-contact model is structural, not a sales promise. Large digital-first labs in the category have invested heavily in automation, which works well for crown-and-bridge at scale. MAD fabrication still benefits from hands-on calibration during the final stages of fit adjustment and articulation. We use digital workflow at the model and design stage, then apply bench-level finishing where it matters. That hybrid approach is where the sub-2.5% remake rate comes from. Communication is the friction point that drives most labs-to-practice relationship turnover, and San Diego practices working with distant fulfillment centers have told us the same story: slow responses, no single point of contact, remake requests that disappear into a ticket queue. Dani Dental ships every case with the direct line of the technician who built it. Questions on titration range or appliance adjustment get answered in hours, not routed through a call center.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

San Diego dentists adding sleep medicine to their practice mix are working in one of the more active MAD markets in the Southwest. The region's large military population, active-lifestyle demographics, and network of ENT and sleep-medicine referral partners push steady demand for oral appliance therapy. Dani Dental fabricates mandibular advancement devices in titratable and fixed configurations, using digital models from intraoral scans or conventional PVS impressions. We work with EMA, Herbst, SUAD, and custom-fit thermoformed designs depending on the clinical case and the budget range your patient population requires. Every device ships with a named technician contact, documented titration range, and a material spec sheet your front desk can hand to the patient. That documentation reduces follow-up calls and gives referring sleep physicians the lab data they occasionally request. Turnaround runs 10 to 14 business days from impression receipt for most standard configurations. Rush capacity is available for time-sensitive cases; contact the lab directly to confirm current lead times before committing to a patient appointment. San Diego's cross-border patient flow adds a practical consideration: some practices serve patients who split time between Southern California and Baja California. Dani Dental appliances carry consistent sizing and titration documentation that travels well and gives any treating clinician a clear baseline, regardless of where the follow-up visit happens.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

What impression or scan formats does Dani Dental accept for MAD fabrication?
We accept STL files from any major intraoral scanner, including iTero, 3Shape Trios, and Carestream. PVS or alginate impressions in stock trays are also accepted and poured in-house. If you are transitioning from analog to digital workflow, we can process hybrid cases where one arch is scanned and the other is an impression. Contact the lab before submitting a hybrid case so we can assign the right technician at intake.
How does Dani Dental handle titration documentation for referring sleep physicians?
Every MAD ships with a material spec sheet that includes the starting position, maximum titration range, and appliance design designation. This gives referring sleep physicians and ENT partners the baseline data they need without requiring a call to your front desk. If a physician needs additional documentation, your assigned technician can provide it directly, usually within one business day.
What appliance designs does Dani Dental fabricate for sleep apnea cases?
We fabricate EMA, Herbst, and SUAD designs in titratable configurations, as well as custom thermoformed fixed appliances for patients who are not candidates for titration. Design selection depends on the clinical presentation, the patient's bite class, and the practice's preferred protocol. If you are unsure which design fits a specific case, send the scans and Rx notes and a technician will review them before fabrication begins.
What is the typical turnaround from a San Diego practice to delivery?
Standard turnaround is 10 to 14 business days from the date impressions or scan files are received at our Arizona lab. Prepaid shipping labels are available for practices that want a consistent intake process. Rush cases can be accommodated in some configurations; call the lab directly to confirm capacity before scheduling the patient's delivery appointment, as rush availability varies by case complexity and current production volume.
How do I start sending MAD cases to Dani Dental from San Diego?
Request a Doctor Kit from the website or call the lab directly. The kit includes prepaid impression mailers, Rx pads formatted for sleep appliance cases, and a direct-line contact card for your assigned technician. First-case setup typically takes one business day. There is no minimum case volume requirement to open an account, and pricing is provided in writing before your first case enters production.
What happens if a MAD does not fit correctly after delivery?
Contact your assigned technician directly using the card that ships with every case. Fit issues are reviewed within 24 hours of your call. If the issue originates from the fabrication process or a model error on our end, the remake ships at no charge with a priority turnaround. If the issue stems from patient anatomy changes or a scan artifact, we will document the root cause and discuss options before proceeding, so you have a clear record for the patient file.
