Provisional and final
The temporary teeth and the final teeth are not the same object. A prescription should say which is being requested now, and in what material.
Laboratory prescription
Name the teeth before the quote is treated as final.
A full-arch quote can list a price before the laboratory has a written prescription. The useful question is what that prescription names: material, shade, bite, and the design file.
General information for patients comparing care in Mexico. Not a diagnosis, a fee, or a statement that any clinic uses a particular laboratory system. Updated October 2026.
What the laboratory reads
Four lines that keep a quote from being only a number.
Photographs can start the conversation. The prescription is the written list of what the laboratory is being asked to make.
A guide name
A shade written as a name from a known guide can be shared. A word such as “natural” cannot be milled.
A mesh that opens
If a design is sent as an STL, the clinic and the laboratory should be able to open the same file. An attachment that will not open is not yet a design.
Free tools from TrazaLab
A blank form, and a shade name.
TrazaLab publishes these browser tools from its dental software product for clinics and labs. They are not this clinic’s prescription, and they do not check that a case is ready to fabricate.
When the prescription must travel with the quote request, open TrazaLab's dental lab software homepage.
- Dental lab prescription formThe free prescription form is a blank you can fill. It does not decide tooth position, material, or fee, and it does not mean every clinical field has been supplied.
- Shade guideThe free shade guide is a reference for VITA Classical and 3D-Master zone names. It does not measure color from a photo.
- STL viewerIf a design file is already an STL, the free STL viewer opens it in the browser. Seeing the shape is not an acceptance of the bridge.
- What stays with the clinicExamination, radiographs or scans, bite records, and medical history still have to be confirmed in person before a quote becomes a treatment plan. Start with how a quote is built.
Frequently asked questions
The prescription, plainly explained.
Is a price list the same as a laboratory prescription?
No. A price can be discussed from a procedure name. A prescription names what the laboratory is asked to make: which arch, which stage, which material, which shade, and which file, if a design file exists.
Will the free form replace the clinic’s paperwork?
No. The TrazaLab form is a blank generator. The clinic’s own prescription, consent, and plan remain the documents for that patient.
Can the final teeth be chosen before the bite is recorded?
A conversation can start earlier. The material and the shade are still guesses until the clinician has the bite, the opposing teeth, and the space the bridge has to live in.
Next step
Ask for the prescription, then compare the written plan.
