Impression Troubleshooting Guide
The Foundation of Successful Restorative Cases
impression troubleshooting - best dental lab usa

The foundation of any successful restorative case begins with an accurate, detailed impression. At Burbank Dental Lab, we see hundreds of impressions every day, most of which are of very good quality. However, we also see impressions that have issues. There are also impressions that look fantastic but have hidden problems that cause challenges for both parties. We have found that even the most experienced dental practitioner can encounter difficulties when making an impression. Even the slightest inaccuracy is amplified as the restoration progresses from model to wax/digital mockup, to milling, to final seating.
