Intraoral scanner compatibility and how to send a case
Send the scan. We take it from there.
Check your scanner, pick how you want to send, and your case reaches us in a few minutes. Digital cases come back fastest, and traditional impressions are welcome too.
We confirm your scanner before your first case goes out.

Digital case submission through the portal
Clients can upload scans and the Rx in the portal at any hour, and the case is waiting for us when the lab opens. The portal is also where you track case status in real time, communicate with the lab, view invoices, make payments and manage digital workflows.
Digital first, impressions welcome
A case that starts as a scan comes back fastest, and traditional impressions and models are welcome too. Not scanning yet? Call us, or ask about the Scanner Lease Program.

Sending a case: common questions
Do you accept files from my intraoral scanner?
Yes. We work with every intraoral scanner: the ones in the grid above, and any other that exports an STL. Some scanners also send native files straight to us. Still unsure? Call (405) 217-2282 before your first case and we will confirm it.
What file should I send to a dental lab?
An STL of both arches and the bite, or your scanner’s native file if it connects to us directly. Add the Rx, from your scanner software or our PDF. Placing implants? Send a scan with the scan body seated, so the design starts from the true implant position. That is the whole list for sending a case to a dental lab.
How do I send my first case?
Get started so we can open your account. Then send the case straight from your scanner, or upload the scan and Rx in the portal at portal.specialtyprosthetics.com. Your first case runs like every case after it: five to ten days for most, counted from a complete scan and Rx.
Can I send an impression instead?
Yes. We love digital cases, but we realize there is a need for traditional impressions on some occasions. We would love for every case to start as a scan, because starting a case digitally gets it back to the clinic sooner. Not scanning yet? Call (405) 217-2282 and we will talk through what makes sense for your practice.
