Our Process

From scan to seat —
one connected workflow.

Every case moves through one system — preferences, QA, routing, and approval, all in the portal. The software does the chasing so the technician can do the craft. Quality is proven, not promised.

The portal workflow

Six steps, one screen, zero phone tag.

Follow a case from the doctor’s preferences through milling QA to one-click approval. Every step renders right in the browser — encrypted end to end, with a human on every case.

01
Onboard the practice

Capture the doctor's preferences once.

Contact style, occlusion, margin design, anatomy, and shade live on the practice profile. Those preferences pre-fill every case — so the design lands on the doctor's craft the first time, not the third.

  • Per-doctor defaults applied to every submission
  • No re-typing the same instructions case after case
  • Designs ship to the doctor's standard out of the gate

02
Submit a case

Send the scan from any scanner.

The dentist pushes the STL straight from iTero®, Medit, or 3Shape — or drag-drops an STL, PLY, or OBJ. Files upload to encrypted storage the moment they land. No exports to wrangle, no email attachments.

  • Scanner-agnostic — iTero® · Medit · 3Shape
  • Drag-drop STL / PLY / OBJ from any workstation
  • Files written straight to encrypted storage

03
Render in the browser

Pre-mill QA the moment it arrives.

Scans render in 3D right in the browser — no plugin, no desktop viewer. Pre-mill QA checks margin definition and occlusal clearance the instant the file lands, so a problem scan goes back before any lab touches it.

  • Real-time 3D render in-browser
  • Margin & clearance analysis on every scan
  • Flagged scans returned pre-mill, not post-seat

Pre-mill QA, continued

Undercuts caught before milling.

Severe draft violations the mill physically can't reach are flagged on the intake scan — vertex by vertex against clinical tolerance — not discovered at the seat. The doctor sees exactly what we see.

  • Undercut & draft detection on the intake mesh
  • Findings shown in the same 3D viewer the doctor uses
  • Caught at intake, not in the operatory

05
Routed to partner labs

The right lab — without the patient's name.

Each case is routed to the partner lab best suited to the work. The design is uploaded back through the portal for approval, and PHI is tokenized end to end — partners see the geometry, never the patient's identity.

  • Cases matched to the right manufacturing partner
  • Design uploaded back for in-portal approval
  • PHI tokenized — partners never see patient identity

Post-mill mesh-diff QA

Verified against the approved design.

The milled restoration is 3D-scanned and compared point-by-point against the approved design before it ships. Anything out of tolerance is caught on our bench — not in your chair.

  • Milled result mesh-diffed against the design
  • 100% within 100µm before a case ships
  • Out-of-tolerance work never leaves the bench
100% within 100µm

Approve in one click

The doctor has the final say.

The case lands back in the doctor’s portal in real 3D, with the QA findings right there. Review, then approve or request a change — one click, no phone tag, tracked all the way to the door.
