Shade and proportion planning for selected cases
The workflow
The small decisions that shape the final fit.
Selected cases move through a sequence of records, design review, fit checks, and maintenance planning. The exact workflow depends on the restoration and the clinical findings.
02
Shade and proportion
Photos, shade guides, and facial references help plan the restoration around your natural features.
03
Design review
The dentist and lab team review fit, contacts, shape, and material choice before final placement.
04
Fit and maintenance
The final restoration is checked for comfort, bite, margins, and long-term review requirements.
Why it matters
More control where detail matters.
The value of a lab workflow is not theatre. It is the practical review of shape, contacts, bite, shade, and material choice before a restoration is fitted.
Digital records can reduce appointment friction in many cases.
Shade and proportion are reviewed against your face, bite, and existing teeth.
The dentist and lab team can discuss selected cases before final placement.
External lab partners are used when a case calls for that workflow.
Treatment guides
Where lab planning commonly shows up.
Read how assessment, planning, alternatives, and likely timelines differ across the treatments that may use an Ivy Lab workflow.
Clinical boundaries
Lab planning does not remove clinical variability.
The workflow supports clinical planning. Suitability, materials, timing, and the result still depend on the individual case.
In-house lab support is used for selected cases. Some cases use external partners working to Ivy specifications.
Material choice and timeline depend on clinical assessment.
Individual results vary.
