In the spirit of patient welfare, Smith-Sterling is committed to providing high-quality, affordable solutions and treating our clinician customers like family. Get started today!
To help you succeed for your patients, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality, affordably priced laboratory services and free shipping. What’s more, your cases are backed by our Pura Vida Warranty — our promise that appliances or restorations will be made according to your specifications or we’ll remake or adjust it until it satisfies your needs, at no cost to you.
When you transmit a digital impression and request a model-less restoration, we deduct the cost of the model and die work from your lab bill. Because the case is sent to the lab digitally, finished restorations can be returned to your office in less time than those made via conventional impressions.
Schedule an in-office case pickup by calling our customer service team at 800-395-8205. When the lab receives your conventional impressions, we immediately pour stone models and scan them to ensure you benefit from the latest digital laboratory technologies.
Enhance your savings when you send a digital impression. At Smith-Sterling, you’ll pay less for model-less cases made from digital impressions. Save $20 off the list price of all-ceramic restorations, $40 off the list price of screw-retained crowns and $40 off the list price of custom abutments. What’s more, cases created from digital impressions routinely take fewer days to manufacture and return to your practice.
To set up your digital impression account, call 800-395-8205.
To send a case for a traditional or implant restoration through Sirona Connect, follow the standard Sirona scan protocol. Select your restoration preferences, and send scans of the prepared teeth with adjacent teeth, buccal bite and the opposing arch. For anterior cases, an additional scan of the preoperative condition or a scan with the temporary in place is recommended to achieve the best overall design.
3M True Definition scan files can be sent to Smith-Sterling for the design and fabrication of traditional or implant restorations. True Definition Scanner users can contact 3M ESPE directly to add Smith-Sterling to your list of connected labs.
Carestream CS 3600 users can send impression data in an open file format (.stl) to laboratories around the world. Smith-Sterling is a Carestream Dental Preferred Lab and is equipped to handle your case fabrication needs.
