Digital Dentistry

Digital dentistry is more than just a trend, it’s how modern practices deliver faster, more accurate restorations with fewer adjustments. At Keating Dental Lab, our fully integrated digital workflows help you save time, reduce remakes, and boost the patient experience. 

What is Digital Dentistry? 

Digital dentistry is the use of advanced dental digital imaging software, CAD/CAM design, and 3D dental printing to create precise, high-quality restorations with greater efficiency. This means faster turnaround, fewer remakes, and smoother workflows from start to finish. 

Whether you’re submitting scans through iTero or 3Shape, digital workflows reduce friction in the lab process — freeing up your chair time and improving patient satisfaction. 

Keating’s Digital Dental Technology

At Keating Dental Lab, we’re committed to making digital easy. We support a wide range of digital dental scanners, platforms, and file types so your practice can plug into our system without the learning curve or tech headaches.  

We accept scans and files from all major systems: 

  • iTero® 
  • 3Shape Trios® 
  • CEREC® & DS Core 
  • Medit™ i500 
  • Carestream® / Dexis IS 
  • NeoScan – Neoss 
  • Midmark True Definition™ 
  • Ori Intraoral Scanner

No matter which scanner or software you prefer, our team makes sure your files are optimized for precision and processed through our advanced CAD/CAM dental technology.

“I’ve tried several dental labs looking for the right artistic ability to show through those crowns. With Keating Dental Lab, I have completed my search for the perfect restoration. Whether it is an all-ceramic veneer or a full crown restoration, it all comes together: aesthetics, contour, and fit. Tooth morphology at its finest. Plus, Shaun’s unconditionally attentive staff makes my lab experience worthy of a genuine partner. My appreciation to you guys!”

“Shaun Keating is an icon amongst dental laboratory owners. He simply delivers peace of mind and exceptional work. With new technology and existing products being frequently re-engineered, they successfully adapt to meeting our needs. Their contribution is critical to my practice success and patient satisfaction. His most recent Townie Award, for Best Crown & Bridge Laboratory, delivers a strong message of personal service and craftsmanship. Thank you.”

“Single unit central cases are by far one of the more difficult cases that dentists are presented with. While working with Keating lab from across the US, we were able to nail this case on the first try. Due to their dedication to excellence and vast knowledge of materials, cases like this can and are done with ease. Thanks to all of the wonderful staff at Keating for making this case an overwhelming success.”

“Keating Dental Lab is the best laboratory that I have used in my 23 year career! Starting from the first case with Keating, I immediately noticed the professionalism of their staff and the promptness of their delivery schedule. The model work is clean and accurate, the prosthesis is delivered in a clear suspended jewel case, and the fit, occlusion and color match is exceptional. I’ve done simple single unit crowns and inlays to full mouth rehabilitation cases with Keating, and their work has shined. I have tried large, nationally known labs, local boutique labs, and everything in between. Keating lab stands heads and shoulders above every lab that I have used …a real winner!”

“Keating Dental Lab is a first class operation. Crowns always come on time and if there are any concerns from their end, they are quick to call. Their KDZ Bruxer crowns are done perfectly, from fit to finish. I give a big thumbs up to Keating Dental Lab.”

“My practice consists of many current and former NHL players and their families. I depend on Keating Dental Lab to give me not only great fit and function, but also excellent esthetics for these celebrity patients. Shaun and his team deliver this “hat trick” for me in a very warm, personal and professional way that is important to me as well.”

“I have been using Shaun and his team since they opened their doors. It continues to amaze me that they are not the small labs right around the corner-great customer service, consistently solid work – they are the “Cheers” lab — where everybody knows your name. I know that they are a big lab but they also have a big heart. That is something they will never outgrow. Thanks Team Keating — you guys & gals are amazing!”

I have been working with KDL for almost 10 years now, and have been thoroughly impressed with their consistent, quality work. From custom shading porcelain with unusual graphics, to complex fixed with VDO changes; the results are always spot-on. I’m yet to be let down. The digital model-less KDZ Bruxer® units come back reliably quick, always a speedy delivery, and redos shockingly low and almost entirely limited to just shade reglazes when I choose poorly. They are always happy to share their massive wealth of knowledge, helping sculpt me into the best restorative dentist I can be.

FAQ

We accept STL, PLY, DCM, and other common formats. If you’re unsure, send us a quick message and we’ll confirm compatibility.

Each scanner has its own process. We’re happy to walk you through connecting iTero, 3Shape, Medit, or others to our lab. Just give us a call or email!

Both methods can produce excellent results, but digital often wins for speed, accuracy, and ease of communication. Plus, it reduces the risk of distortion or error from physical materials.
