01 What we design

Every indication.
One standard.

From a single central incisor to a full-arch conversion, every case gets the same thing: one senior designer, an anatomy-first approach, and a fit that survives the mill.

02 How it works

A straight line from scan to seat.

One senior designer owns your case from upload to delivery. No queues, no handoffs, no “we’ll get back to you.”

Start a case 18 min average first reply
  1. 01T + 00:02

    Upload your scans

    Drop upper and lower scans, bite and any photos into a secure case link. STL, PLY, DCM or 3OXZ — no account, no install.

  2. 02T + 01:00

    Brief a designer

    Tell us the indication, material and shade. A senior designer confirms the plan, flags anything missing and locks the deadline.

  3. 03T + 12:00

    Review in 3D

    We design in exocad and send an interactive preview. Mark up changes directly on the file — revisions are free until you approve.

  4. 04T + 24:00

    Download & deliver

    Get production-ready files, a signed QC report and nesting support. Send it to your mill — or we’ll handle manufacturing.

03 The Dar standard

Precision isn’t a promise. It’s a checklist.

Most labs check the design. We check the fit. Every file passes a 14-point review against your material, your prep and your insertion path before it leaves the lab.

01

Margin-first, always

Every margin is traced and sealed by hand, to a 20 µm tolerance — then verified twice before delivery.

02

Occlusion in motion

Static contacts are the easy part. We test excursive and protrusive movement against the opposing arch.

03

Material-aware thickness

Minimum walls adapt to the material — 0.5 mm for zirconia, 0.3 mm for e.max — checked before nesting.

04

A human signs every case

No auto-generated anatomy leaves the lab. A senior designer reviews, adjusts and signs each file.

Fewer try-ins. Better first impressions.

Shade and proportion were being decided in isolation, and every case averaged two try-ins. A facial-reference workflow moved those decisions earlier — before the chair.

The people who fit
the work.

Independent clinicians, boutique laboratories and multi-site groups on six continents. Here’s what they say when the box opens.

4.9 / 5 from 210+ partner labs
“The margins are the cleanest I’ve received from an outside design team. I stopped checking every file after the first month — I just open it, approve it and send it to the mill.”
“Dar gave our lab a night shift without hiring one. We send full-arch cases at 6pm and they’re back before our first pour. It changed what we can say yes to.”
“I upload from the clinic before I leave, and the design is waiting with my coffee. It’s the calmest part of my week.”

hello@dardentaldesign.com

Our team designs in exocad DentalCAD and 3Shape. We deliver native project files plus open STL/PLY, so your lab can continue in the software it already runs.

Upper and lower scans (STL, PLY, DCM or 3OXZ), a bite registration and a short brief. Photos or an intraoral scan of the prep help, but aren’t required. If anything is missing, we’ll tell you before we start.

Standard is 24 hours from brief approval. Express design is available in 8 hours for most single-unit cases, and full-arch cases typically take 36–48 hours. You’ll see a confirmed deadline before we begin.

Revisions are free until you approve the design. Our standard is a revised file back within 4 hours, with no limit on minor adjustments.

Our team works across Dubai, Istanbul, Toronto and Kuala Lumpur, giving partners coverage across every time zone. Every case is assigned to one senior designer from brief to delivery.

No. We work with solo clinicians and multi-site labs alike, with no subscriptions, setup fees or minimums. Your first unit is free.

Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and case data is purged 30 days after delivery unless you ask us to keep it. NDAs and custom retention terms are available for lab partners.

Ready when you are

Send the scan.
We’ll take it from here.

Your first unit is on us. See the margins for yourself — no subscription, no setup, no borders.

Case study · Full arch

A four-chair clinic, back to same-day arches.

Problem

The clinic ran four chairs and a steady stream of All-on-6 referrals. Margins were inconsistent across designers, and three remakes a month were eating chair time and lab credits.

Solution

We standardized the scan protocol, built a custom abutment library for their implant system, and assigned one senior designer to every full-arch case. Each file now passes a 14-point check before it leaves the lab.

Case study · White-label

A night shift without hiring one.

Problem

A boutique lab was turning away full-arch work because every case arrived after 6pm and needed a designer overnight. Hiring a second shift was not viable for the volume.

Solution

We set up a dedicated white-label pod in Toronto’s time zone, standardized the brief, and introduced an 8-hour express lane for single-unit and bridge work. The lab kept its brand; we stayed behind the scenes.

Case study · Smile design

Fewer try-ins. Better first impressions.

Problem

Veneer cases were averaging 2.1 try-ins. Shade and proportion decisions were being made in isolation, and the extra chair time was adding up for the clinician and the patient.

Solution

We moved to a facial-reference workflow: calibrated photographs, a digital midline, and a layered mockup protocol. The design was reviewed against the face before the first try-in, not after.
