Chairside Partial Denture Try-in Workflow

The following workflow is applicable for patients receiving a wax / framework try-in for their partial denture.

The outline below is a step-by-step appointment guide for our wax / framework try-in partial denture workflow. Please ensure to review our Partial Denture Scanning Best Practices before proceeding. 

A Try In is a "trial" of the partial denture before it is finalized.

• Flexible / Acrylic Partials - this is a wax version of the partial without clasps.

• Metal Partials - this is the framework itself and may or may not include teeth set in wax.

A Try-In can sometimes include a Wax Rim (aka Bite Rim), which is for edentulous areas that are customized to the gums of a patient and mimic the missing teeth. It is used by Drs to confirm the bite (make adjustments directly on the wax). This can be sent with the try-in or in lieu of the try-in.

First Appointment

You will follow the same steps as our straight to finish partial denture until you get to the last step:

• Select how you would like us to manufacture the partial

At this point in the checkout flow, you will choose to proceed with a "Try-in" (selecting the type you prefer) instead of selecting “straight-to-finish." 

When you choose “Try-in,” you will see instructions on how to proceed once the try-in arrives. We will also send you an email with these instructions for the next steps.

You will then proceed with the rest of your order and wait for the try-in to arrive. 

Try-in Appointment

We recommend bringing up the order page in Chairside while the patient is in the chair.

1. Evaluate the try-in’s fit, aesthetics, and phonetics.
2. On the order page, look for the “Provide feedback” banner to proceed with next steps.
3. Ship the try-in back to us
4. Simply schedule the next appointment, and we’ll handle the rest.

You will see a banner on the order that will guide you through next steps. (see below)

You will then be prompted with a screen that walks you through shipping the partial back to Dandy for the final production steps!

Providing Feedback

You will now provide your feedback to Dandy in a guided, step-by-step process. 

As always, you will also have the opportunity to provide open-ended feedback however you see fit.

If changes do not need to be made simply click the "Skip" on the bottom right corner. 

Continue through "How would you like to proceed?"

Try-in Submission

Finally, you will review your feedback and proceed with submitting it to our team. 

You will then be prompted with a screen that walks you through shipping the partial back to Dandy for the final production steps!
