FAQ

Sending digital scans, answered

How do I send an intraoral scan to your lab?
Pick your scanner above for a step-by-step guide. In most cases you add Bridge Dental Laboratory as a connection in your scanner's portal (iTero, Medit Link, 3Shape Communicate and so on) and send the case to us — or export an open file and email it.
What file formats do you accept?
Open STL, PLY or OBJ files from any scanner, as well as cases sent through the major scanner portals. There are no extra fees for receiving digital scans.
Do you charge to receive scans through a portal?
No — we accept scans from all major scanners with no portal or connection fees, and every appliance order includes free 3D-printed models.
My scanner isn't listed — can you still take my scans?
Yes. Export an open STL, PLY or OBJ file and email it to us — we accept scans from every scanner.
Why send digital scans instead of impressions?
Digital scans are faster, cleaner and more accurate, avoid impression distortion and postage, and come with free 3D-printed models. See why go digital.
