There is a stranger designing your smile right now and your dentist never mentioned it. After thousands of full arch cases, one decision causes more delays and disappointing results than anything else. That decision is sending your case out to an outside lab.

In this episode, I'm going to walk through what actually happens to your case once it leaves the office, why the outside lab model still exists, and the exact questions to ask before you choose where to be treated.

❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Why do dental practices send full arch cases to an outside lab?
Building an in-house digital design and manufacturing workflow requires major capital and thousands of hours of training, so many practices choose the outside lab route to save time and overhead instead of investing in the equipment themselves.

What goes wrong when a dental lab is outside the practice?
The technician designing your teeth works only from scan measurements and has never seen your face, which can lead to fit or bite issues that require shipping the case back and forth for weeks.

How do I know if my implant dentist uses an outside lab?
Ask directly whether your lab work is done in house or sent to an outside facility, and ask what the turnaround time is if a case needs to be remade after final placement.
