Tucson Occlusal Splint / Night Guard

Tucson practices dealing with bruxism, TMD management, or post-restorative occlusal protection need a lab that reads an articulated model accurately and returns an appliance that fits the chair. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic night guards, dual-laminate guards, and full-coverage occlusal splints from digital scans or traditional impressions. Intraoral scan files from iTero, 3Shape Trios, or Medit are accepted directly, and the milled or pressure-formed result is verified against your occlusal records before it leaves the bench.

  • 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.

Tucson practices dealing with bruxism, TMD management, or post-restorative occlusal protection need a lab that reads an articulated model accurately and returns an appliance that fits the chair. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic night guards, dual-laminate guards, and full-coverage occlusal splints from digital scans or traditional impressions. Intraoral scan files from iTero, 3Shape Trios, or Medit are accepted directly, and the milled or pressure-formed result is verified against your occlusal records before it leaves the bench.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

Most national-network labs route occlusal splint cases through a general production queue staffed by rotating technicians. You call support, not the person who built the appliance. Dani Dental assigns a named technician to every case. That technician's direct line ships in the box, and if a fit issue surfaces at try-in, you call them, not a ticketing system. The feedback loop closes in hours, not over a multi-day support thread. Arizona roots matter here. The lab has operated in this state since 1993, which means the team understands the seasonal bruxism patterns that Tucson clinicians deal with, the referral rhythms in the Rincon and Catalina Foothills corridors, and the scheduling reality of a busy restorative practice. Turnaround commitments are stated in calendar days, not production days calculated from a fulfillment center three time zones away. And because the fabricating technician is accountable by name, the less-than-2.5% remake rate is not a marketing claim, it is a tracked number with a person behind it.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

Tucson practices dealing with bruxism, TMD management, or post-restorative occlusal protection need a lab that reads an articulated model accurately and returns an appliance that fits the chair. Dani Dental fabricates hard acrylic night guards, dual-laminate guards, and full-coverage occlusal splints from digital scans or traditional impressions. Intraoral scan files from iTero, 3Shape Trios, or Medit are accepted directly, and the milled or pressure-formed result is verified against your occlusal records before it leaves the bench. For Tucson orthodontic and restorative practices managing parafunction alongside comprehensive treatment, we also fabricate anterior deprogrammers and Gelb-style repositioning splints on a case-by-case basis. Send your prescription with articulation records and we scope the appliance to your clinical goal, not a catalog default. Cases that arrive by Thursday ship the following Wednesday under standard production, or Friday under the 5-business-day window, covering most of the Tucson metro with a single FedEx leg.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

What file formats does Dani Dental accept for digital occlusal splint cases from Tucson practices?
We accept STL and OBJ files from iTero, 3Shape Trios, and Medit scanners. Upload directly through our case portal or send via your scanner's share function. Include your bite registration scan or a note about your preferred occlusal position and we handle the rest. No proprietary format lock-in on our end.
How long does a standard hard acrylic night guard take to fabricate and ship to Tucson?
Standard turnaround is 5 business days from the day we receive your impression or scan file. Cases that arrive by Thursday typically ship the following Wednesday. Rush 3-business-day service is available for an additional fee. Contact your assigned technician directly to confirm availability before scheduling a rush case.
Can you fabricate anterior deprogrammers or repositioning splints, not just flat-plane guards?
Yes. We fabricate anterior deprogrammers, Gelb-style repositioning appliances, and NTI-style anterior jigs on a prescription basis. Send your articulation records, CR bite, and a written description of your clinical objective. The technician will review the records before fabrication and call you if anything needs clarification, which typically happens within one business day of case receipt.
What happens if the occlusal splint does not fit at delivery?
If a fit issue is linked to a lab error, we remake at no charge. Every case ships with the fabricating technician's direct number. Call that line, describe what you are seeing at try-in, and we assess the same day. Most remake decisions are made within 2 hours of your call, not after a support ticket escalation cycle.
Do you work with Tucson practices that still send traditional PVS impressions?
Absolutely. Traditional polyvinyl siloxane impressions and bite registrations are accepted alongside digital files. Pour them yourself or send unpoured, depending on your workflow. We recommend double-boxing for the Tucson summer heat to protect set before the impression reaches our Arizona facility, which is typically one FedEx business day from the Tucson metro.
What is the pricing structure for occlusal splints and night guards?
Pricing is tiered by appliance type: flat-plane hard acrylic, dual-laminate, and custom repositioning splints each carry a stated lab fee with no hidden procurement layers. We send a current fee schedule to new accounts on request. There is no minimum monthly case volume required to open an account with Dani Dental.
