Practical guidance for your prescriptions

Copy-denture workflow: send the existing denture itself or a scan/model of it.
For immediates, extraction-stage records and the surgical plan define the design start point.
Border moulding quality dominates fit - follow your usual impression protocol; we design to what we receive.
Palateless designs require implant attachments; confirm the attachment system before framework design.

Reference figures are widely accepted industry values for the material/system class - case-specific parameters are confirmed at design. Reviewed by the Istar case coordination team.

Indications & limits

Immediate dentures are built to be adjusted, not to be perfect on day one - mark extraction expectations clearly.

Tooth mould and shade history from your prescription notes is the most valuable line in a denture Rx - send what the patient liked or disliked.

What to submit with your case

Final impressions (or scans) of both arches
Jaw relation records and bite rim feedback
Tooth mould, shade and any patient history notes
Photos of the patient's smile and face (for contour reference)
For copy-denture: the existing prosthesis itself

Trays/rims or straight to design, per workflow

Release and protective packaging

Occlusion and fit-surface quality are inspected at release; tooth position checked against the approved try-in records.

Frequently asked questions

Can you work from a patient's old denture?

Yes - copy-denture and reline workflows are standard. Send the prosthesis with instructions on what to keep and what to change.

Which tooth moulds and shades do you use?

Major tooth systems and shades are available; choices are stored in your preference profile for repeat cases.

Digital or conventional workflow - which do you run?

Both. The digital workflow (scan or impressions plus records, then designed try-ins) is the default because it gives predictable try-in stages and an archived design. Conventional impression-based workflows are equally welcome.

What try-in stages do you provide?

Standard stages are: rim/record stage if needed, a tooth-try-in for aesthetics and occlusion, then the finished denture. Each stage ships with photos and you can request changes between stages.

Which denture teeth do you use?

We work with recognised denture teeth brands; the specific brand can be locked on your account profile or confirmed per case. The brand used is recorded on the invoice.

Can you make copy dentures or immediate dentures?

Yes - send the existing denture (or a scan/model of it) for a copy-denture workflow, and the extraction-stage records for immediates. Both follow the same try-in stages where possible.
