Tempe Digital Case Design Collaboration

Digital case design collaboration at Dani Dental is a structured back-and-forth between your Tempe practice and a named technician assigned to your account. It is not a file-upload portal where scans disappear and a finished product ships days later. You submit an intraoral scan or CBCT data set, the technician builds a preliminary design, and you review it inside a shared design file before a single block of zirconia or e.max is touched.

  • 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.

Digital case design collaboration at Dani Dental is a structured back-and-forth between your Tempe practice and a named technician assigned to your account. It is not a file-upload portal where scans disappear and a finished product ships days later. You submit an intraoral scan or CBCT data set, the technician builds a preliminary design, and you review it inside a shared design file before a single block of zirconia or e.max is touched.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

Most dental labs in the Phoenix metro offer digital submission as a receiving function: you send the file, they process it, you wait. What they do not offer is a named technician who holds design accountability from scan receipt through final approval. Large national-network labs route cases through offshore design centers where no single person owns the outcome. Tempe practices often discover this when a remake request surfaces no identifiable designer to speak with. Dani Dental runs the opposite model. Every Tempe digital case is assigned to a specific technician at intake. That technician's name and direct line go on the case slip. If the design preview needs revision, you call one person, not a support queue. This is not a boutique marketing position; it is the operational structure the lab has run since the Arizona practice opened in 1993, and it is the reason the remake rate stays below 2.5%. On price, we do not route Tempe accounts through a procurement negotiation. Ranges are published, discounts for volume are stated upfront, and there is no separate fee for the design-review step. The design collaboration is part of the case, not an add-on. Practices that have moved accounts away from category-wide labs for communication failures tend to stay with Dani because the communication structure is built into the workflow, not promised in a sales call and forgotten at the bench.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

Digital case design collaboration at Dani Dental is a structured back-and-forth between your Tempe practice and a named technician assigned to your account. It is not a file-upload portal where scans disappear and a finished product ships days later. You submit an intraoral scan or CBCT data set, the technician builds a preliminary design, and you review it inside a shared design file before a single block of zirconia or e.max is touched. For Tempe practices running high-volume single-visit or multi-unit implant days, this matters in chair-time terms. Catching an emergence profile issue at the design stage costs zero additional appointments. Catching it after seating costs you a remake, a patient recall, and roughly 45-60 minutes of unscheduled time. Our workflow routes every Tempe digital case through a pre-mill design approval step, with the technician's direct line on every case slip. Tempe's density of university-affiliated and DSO-adjacent practices means a lot of dentists here are already running digital impressions. We connect into that existing digital infrastructure whether you are using iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit, or Carestream. No proprietary file conversion fee, no format gatekeeping. You send what your scanner produces; we work with it.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

What scan formats does Dani Dental accept from Tempe practices?
We accept STL and PLY exports from all major intraoral scanners, including iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit i700, and Carestream CS 3600. CBCT data sets in DICOM format are accepted for implant planning cases. There is no proprietary format requirement and no file-conversion fee. If your scanner produces something outside those formats, call the lab directly and we will confirm compatibility before you submit.
How does the design review step work for a Tempe digital case?
After we receive your scan, the assigned technician builds a preliminary design, typically within one business day for standard single-unit or short-span cases. You receive the design file for review along with the technician's direct contact. You mark any changes, the technician revises, and milling begins only after you approve. The review step is included in the case fee, not billed separately.
What is the turnaround time for digital cases submitted from Tempe?
Standard turnaround for milled zirconia crowns is 5-7 business days from design approval, not from scan receipt. Same-day or next-day rush cases are available for an additional fee, subject to bench availability. Cases submitted with complete scan data and a clear prescription before noon typically enter the design queue the same afternoon. Contact your assigned technician to confirm current bench capacity before scheduling a rush case.
Does Dani Dental work with Tempe practices that already have an in-office mill?
Yes. Practices with in-office CAD/CAM equipment sometimes use Dani Dental for complex design-only engagements, where we handle the digital design and you mill locally. We also handle overflow milling when your in-house unit is at capacity or when a case requires a material or shade outside your in-office inventory. The collaboration model scales to fit how your Tempe practice is already set up.
How does Dani Dental handle design disputes or remake requests on digital cases?
Because every case has a named technician on record, remake requests go directly to that person, not through a general support queue. If a remake stems from a design deviation relative to the approved file, there is no remake charge. If it stems from a change in clinical conditions or a new impression, standard case fees apply. Either way, you speak to the technician who built the original design, not a different representative.
Can Tempe practices request a design consultation before submitting a complex case?
Yes. For full-arch implant cases, multi-unit anterior esthetic work, or any case involving significant vertical dimension changes, we recommend a pre-submission call with the assigned technician. This typically runs 15-20 minutes and covers scan protocol, occlusal targets, and material selection. It is not billed. Practices that use the pre-submission call on complex cases show materially fewer revision rounds and faster final approval timelines.
