Dental Lab Remake Request Guide

A clear remake request helps the dental lab review what happened and decide the appropriate next step. The review should be based on the prescription, submitted records, production information and reported clinical details.

Dental lab quality inspection workflow for remake request guidance.

Information to Include in a Remake Review

  • Original prescription, case reference and product type
  • Photos showing the reported fit, shade, margin, occlusion or damage issue
  • Original scan files, new scan files or model information when relevant
  • Clinical notes describing what changed after the first production
  • Whether a new impression, new scan, new shade or treatment plan change is involved
  • Shipping or packaging photos if the issue appears delivery-related
