Why go digital

Your practice grows when your lab keeps up.

Digital dentistry isn't a buzzword and it isn't a replacement for craftsmanship either. It's the tools that let a good technician be exact: scans in microns, margins verified on screen, artistry where it counts.

Precision you can measure

Digital scans and CAD/CAM milling hold tolerances hand workflows can't. Better margins, better contacts, better fit.

Faster turnaround

Files arrive the moment you hit send. No shipping impressions, no waiting on pickup. Cases start same-day.

Caught at the scan

Issues surface on screen. Before milling, not at the seat. Less chair time lost to adjustments, fewer second appointments.

A partner, not a vendor

Direct line to the technician working your case. Local, accountable, and invested in your outcomes.

About the lab

Built in San Diego. Focused on fit.

 

Our story

I found my way into dental technology by accident and never left. While I was in college, I took a job as a case delivery driver for a local dental laboratory. Within a month, the owners noticed how fascinated I was by the fabrication work and offered me an internship. I picked up the trade quickly, and I noticed something else along the way: it never felt like work to me. It was something I genuinely enjoyed. At 23, I took the leap and started my own laboratory.

We are now going on our 28th year, and through every up and down, I can tell you it was my moral compass that kept this business going strong. Transparency, communication, prompt responses, and a will to do whatever it takes for the customer. That is how we operate at Griff Dental Pros, and it is not negotiable.

Along the way, I met and married my beautiful wife Amy, and together we have four wonderful children. This lab is a family business in every sense, and when you work with us, you will feel that.

How we work

When you send a case here, you are working with me and my team directly. Questions get prompt answers. Concerns get a phone call, not a guess. After 28 years, I know a lab earns its partnerships one case at a time, and we intend to keep earning yours.

Paul Griffiths, founder of Griff Dental Pros
What we run

Cases arrive from any major intraoral scanner, including iTero, TRIOS, Medit, and Primescan, as STL or PLY files. Design work runs on 3Shape Dental System, so digital cases move from scan to design without conversion headaches. On the bench, we work in zirconia, e.max, and PMMA, with every digital case finished by hand.

Sending a case is one search away: find us on 3Shape Communicate as Griff Dental Pros, or on your iTero scanner at Lab ID 655153.

Resources for practices going digital.

Short, practical guides written for the doctor and the front office, not for other lab techs. Straight answers from 28 years at the bench.

Getting started

Sending your first digital case

It is easier than you think. Find us on your iTero scanner at Lab ID 655153, or on 3Shape Communicate as Griff Dental Pros, and send the scan directly from the chair. Using another scanner? Export the STL or PLY and email it with your Rx. We confirm every new case the day it arrives, and if anything in the scan needs attention, you will hear from us before we begin, not after.

Scanning

Scanning for removables

Removable cases live and die by tissue detail. Capture the full vestibule and border extensions, keep the tongue and cheeks retracted through the sweep, and take your time on the posterior seal area. If a partial is planned, make sure every abutment tooth and rest prep is crisp in the scan. Not sure the scan is usable? Send it anyway. We would rather review it with you than have you rescan a patient who did not need it.

Workflow

Digital dentures, explained

A digital denture is designed on screen, then produced from that exact file. The fit is repeatable, the records are saved, and if a patient ever loses or breaks an appliance, we can produce a replacement from the file on record without starting over. You still get a try in, and every appliance is still finished by hand. The digital part adds precision and a permanent record. The craftsmanship part has not changed.

Chairside support

Relines, rebases, and repairs

For a reline, send the appliance with a wash impression inside it. For a repair, send every piece, even the small ones. Disinfect before packaging, pad the box well, and include a note on how soon the patient needs it back. We know a patient without their denture is a patient calling your front desk, so tell us the situation and we will work with your schedule.

Workflow

Turnaround and scheduling

Every case type has a standard in lab time, and we will give it to you straight before you send the case, not after. Call the lab and we will walk through timing by case type, what counts as a rush, and how to plan seats around delivery. If a case will be late for any reason, you will hear it from us first. That is a promise we have kept.

Glossary

Removables, translated

Quick definitions for the front office. Intraoral scan: a digital impression taken with a wand instead of a tray. STL and PLY: the file types scanners produce, and the ones we accept. Reline: new fitting surface inside an existing appliance. Rebase: new base entirely, same teeth. Try in: the fitting appointment before final processing. If a term ever has you guessing, call us. We answer the phone.
