Digital Connect

Link your practice directly to Sense Dental Lab through your intraoral scanner. A faster, more accurate way to submit cases — no impressions required.

Digital dental workflow

Skip the Impression.
Start Digitally.

Digital impressions are faster, more comfortable for patients, and more accurate than traditional methods. By connecting to Sense Dental Lab digitally, you eliminate postal delays, physical impression distortion, and communication gaps.

Faster Turnaround

Digital submissions reach us instantly — no courier wait times. We begin design the same day we receive your scan.

Greater Accuracy

Digital scans eliminate impression material distortion. Expect restorations with exceptional marginal fit and fewer remakes.

4 Simple Steps

Getting connected is straightforward. Follow these steps and your first digital case can be with us today.

Our skilled technicians receive your scan, digitally design the restoration using advanced CAD software, and fabricate it with precision milling and hand-finishing. You'll receive a notification when your case is in progress and when it's dispatched.
