DENTURE LAB OUTSOURCING
Digital vs. Conventional Dentures
Both workflows are available — choose what fits the clinical situation
Traditional Method
Conventional Dentures
Heat-cured acrylic fabricated from physical impressions through multiple laboratory stages. The established workflow for complex cases requiring multiple patient try-in appointments.
✔ Ideal for complex edentulous ridges
✔ Multiple try-in stages for fine-tuning
✔ Accepted from physical impressions
✔ Complete and partial denture types
⟳ 5–6 patient visits typical
Digital Method
CAD/CAM Digital Dentures
Milled from pre-polymerized PMMA blocks — better material density than conventional processing, exact reproducibility from the stored file, and fewer patient appointments required.
✔ 2–3 patient visits possible
✔ Stored digitally — exact duplicate on request
✔ STL upload from any intraoral scanner
✔ Superior dimensional stability
✔ Lost denture replaced from file
Denture Laboratory Services
Full range of removable prosthodontics — conventional and digital
Complete Dentures
Upper and lower complete dentures — conventional heat-cured acrylic or CAD/CAM milled PMMA. Immediate, conventional, and copy (duplicate) denture options. Tooth libraries: Vita MFT, Ivoclar SR Phonares, or similar.
Stages: Primary tray → Final impression → Bite record → Try-in → Final
Partial Dentures
Removable partial dentures in acrylic base or cast cobalt-chrome framework. Metal-frame partials distribute occlusal forces more effectively and are more hygienic than all-acrylic designs. Try-in stage on all metal-frame cases.
Options: Acrylic base · Cast Co-Cr framework · Adams clasps · Wrought wire
Implant Overdentures
Removable overdentures retained by Locator attachments, ball attachments, or custom bars on 2–4 implants. Significantly improved stability vs. conventional complete dentures. Metal housing processed into finished denture base.
Systems: Locator · Ball · ERA · Bar-retained designs
Full-Arch Implant Prostheses
Screw-retained hybrid prostheses for All-on-4 and All-on-6 protocols. Titanium bar + acrylic teeth (hybrid) or monolithic zirconia framework. Immediate load or final delivery after osseointegration.
Confirm: Implant system and connection type before ordering
Digital CAD/CAM Dentures
Milled from pre-polymerized PMMA blocks — consistent material density, stored file for exact duplicate production on request. Accepts STL from all intraoral scanners. Try-in via printed wax-up before final milling.
Advantage: Stored digitally — replacement made from file if lost
Repairs & Relines
Hard relines (permanent acrylic), soft relines (resilient liner), fracture repairs with reinforcement wire option, and tooth additions or replacements for existing dentures. Emergency repair turnaround: 1–2 business days.
Emergency: Submit before noon for next-business-day return
How a Digital Denture Case Works
Fewer appointments. Stored file. Better material. Here is what the workflow looks like.
1
Primary Impression
Intraoral scan or physical impression — your choice
2
Bite Record
Vertical dimension and centric relation captured
3
Digital Design
Tooth setup designed in CAD — you review before milling
4
Try-In Wax-Up
3D-printed trial for patient appointment (optional)
5
Mill & Finish
Milled from PMMA block, polished, shipped with tracking
File stored after delivery — lost or broken denture replaced from the same file. No new impressions needed.

Frequently Asked Questions — Denture Laboratory
For questions about impression requirements, implant system compatibility, or digital denture workflows, please contact us.
What is the difference between a digital and conventional denture?
A digital denture is milled from a pre-polymerized PMMA block — the material has uniform density because it was polymerized under factory conditions, not chair-side or bench processing. The digital file is stored and can produce an exact duplicate if the denture is lost or broken. Conventional heat-cured acrylic dentures require physical impressions through multiple stages but remain the preferred approach for complex edentulous ridges that need multiple try-in appointments for fine-tuning.
How do I submit a denture case?
For digital dentures: export your intraoral STL file and upload via our portal with a completed prescription. For conventional dentures: send primary impressions, final impressions, bite records, and subsequent try-in stages by post. We provide step-by-step submission guides and case boxes for new accounts.
Do you fabricate implant-retained overdentures?
Yes. We produce removable overdentures for Locator, ball, and bar-retained implant systems. We also produce full-arch screw-retained hybrid prostheses for All-on-4 and All-on-6 protocols. Please confirm your implant system and attachment type when submitting to ensure library compatibility.
Can other dental labs outsource denture production to you?
Yes. We offer white-label denture laboratory fabrication for labs that do not have in-house denture production or are operating at capacity. Cases are returned in neutral packaging with no World Dental Lab branding. Lab accounts receive volume pricing and a dedicated account manager.
Do you offer emergency repairs for existing dentures?
Yes. Fracture repairs and tooth replacements can be returned within 1–2 business days for cases submitted before noon. Contact us before submitting an emergency repair so we can hold space in the production queue.
