Send a Repair to Our Lab

We treat every repair with as much importance as a shiny, new case!

A no fail checklist you can depend on:

Repairing a Cast Partial Denture

• Take a bite – just in case it can’t be hand articulated. Often old partials are so worn, they don’t perfectly occlude.
• Opposing model – the lab might not need this BUT if they are adding or replacing a tooth, you’ll never be sorry for sending them this information because there will be that opposing occlusal surface to work with.
• A shade 
• A pickup impression – The partial must fit on something. If you provide just a naked impression of the arch, the partial will not fit on a stone model. Soft tissue differences as well as undercuts will prevent that framework from seating. Pull that partial so that it can be poured up within a new impression.

Repairing a Complete Denture

• Take a bite
• Opposing Model – regardless of the type of repair. If it is a fracture, it’s a way the technician can check to make sure the two parts are in harmony with one another, thus occluding evenly with the opposing arch.
• A shade – your records in your patient chart will show you the shade used on the case.
• Any pieces – send all available broken pieces to the lab, broken off teeth, broken off flanges, etc.
