Structured Dental Lab Quality Control

KC Dental Lab uses a structured dental lab quality control process from case intake to shipping verification, including material traceability review when applicable. Product, material and shipment documentation should be confirmed in writing according to product type and destination-market requirements.

Quality Control Flow

  1. 01

    Case Intake Review

    Prescription, tooth number, material, shade, implant system and required records are reviewed before production.

  2. 02

    Scan or Impression Review

    Margins, occlusion, contact data, scan completeness and impression quality are checked according to case type.

  3. 03

    CAD Design Review

    Margin, cement space, connector dimensions, emergence profile and design consistency are reviewed when applicable.

  4. 04

    Material Verification

    Material brand, product reference and batch information can be documented for applicable cases upon request.

  5. 05

    In-Process Inspection

    Milling, sintering, staining, glazing, denture setup, framework processing and finishing are checked during production.

  6. 06

    Final QC

    Fit, margin, occlusion, proximal contact, shade, surface finishing, polish, cleanliness and prescription consistency are reviewed.

  7. 07

    Shipping Verification

    Packaging, labels, shipment information and tracking details are checked before dispatch.

  8. 08

    Issue Review and Remake Handling

    Reported issues are reviewed against the prescription, files, production information and finished restoration.

What Each Quality Stage Protects

Before Production

The intake and record review stage identifies missing prescriptions, unclear margins, incomplete bite data or unconfirmed implant details before irreversible work begins.

During Design

Design review focuses on the restoration geometry that can affect fit, contacts, occlusion, connector strength, emergence profile and cleanability.

During Production

Material and in-process checks help keep the finished case aligned with the confirmed material, design and customer instructions.

Before Dispatch

Final inspection and shipping verification check the completed restoration, prescription match, cleanliness, labels and protective packaging.

Customer Information That Supports Better QC

  • Complete prescription and consistent tooth numbering
  • Clear scans or impressions, opposing arch and bite records
  • Shade references and clinical photos when esthetics matter
  • Exact implant system, platform and scan body details
  • Written approval requirements for complex design stages
  • Prompt clarification when the laboratory reports an open question
