Guide for dental offices

Laboratory turnaround times

The turnaround for each type of work, as used by our laboratory and by the online prescription to estimate your delivery date.

How the turnaround is calculated

  • Turnaround times are in business days: weekends and statutory holidays are not counted.
  • The turnaround starts when the case is received at the laboratory (impression, model or scan). The date shown in the online prescription is an estimate, confirmed on receipt.
  • An incomplete case, or one that needs clarification, may be delayed: we will contact your office before starting.
  • For a rush request, say so in the prescription or call us at (819) 573-2115: we will confirm whether we can meet it.
