- Lab will send back a digital crown made from file
- Do not need a printer for this process unless you want to print a model to cross-check
- Recommend Digital Wax ups on everyone because it’s valuable
- Hire 1 employee that only makes digital wax ups
- DSD vs Digital Wax Up
- DSD offers a higher level of service
- DSD is more expensive

- Insurance reimbursement for Dentures is very poor yet the lab bill is the highest
- Dentures are time consuming

- Blue Sky Plan helps solve these issues with free software, Lab Pronto, printers & scanners
- Technology is ready to deploy in dentures. A few options include:
- Print teeth in white and print base in pink then bond together
- Monolithic denture
- MFH is a fav
- Print base, place teeth, then let lab process
