4. CHECKLIST
Before you send the case to us:
1. Use double cord technique when taking an impression.
2. At least 1.5 mm reduction.
3. For a 2-unit or more posterior case, take full arch impression or bite registration for correct mounting.
4. Dry out prepped teeth before taking an impression, especially clean out bleeding.
5. Bite a little longer to set and press down all the way.
6. Check impression for void, distortion, etc. If you think the margin is not visible, first pour it up and check before you send it.
7. Alginate impression must be poured up before sending.
8. Impression must be disinfected.
9. Write down the due date and appointment date/time. We typically need 8 working days in lab for most restorations, excluding holiday and shipping/receiving days.
10. Take the time to write your instructions on the lab slip. Please PRINT legibly. We are not responsible if we can’t read your instructions.
11. Implant and attachment must include all components.
12. Shade information.
13. Opposing model.
14. Study model for all anterior work.
The case will be placed on hold if any of the above information is missing.
NOTE: We use most implant and attachment systems. You must send us all components, including analog and abutment. We do not keep or order any components. Do not send case and components separately. Any case that has missing components will be returned. When there isn’t enough occlusal clearance, and if there is no other instruction, we reduce opposing or make reduction coping for you to use. We simply mark the die in red color. Check the die before you place the crown.
