Shipping Note

International courier delivery to the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, Europe and other destinations may require additional working days depending on courier service, customs clearance and public holidays. Turnaround begins after all required case information has been confirmed.

What Can Change the Schedule

Incomplete Records

Missing bite data, unclear margins, incomplete implant information or unanswered technical questions can delay the production start.

Approval Stages

Design approval, framework review, try-in or setup confirmation adds customer review time to the overall schedule.

Case Complexity

Long-span bridges, full-arch implant cases, shade-sensitive work and mixed workflows require case-specific planning.

Courier and Customs

International delivery is separate from production time and may be affected by route availability, customs, weather and public holidays.
