Dental lab Digital Workflow
Precision at Every Step – The Digital Workflow Behind Locator Fixed Dentures
At Raytops, we leverage cutting-edge CAD/CAM technology and digital scanning to design and manufacture Locator Fixed Dentures with precision and efficiency. Our digital workflow ensures that each denture is designed for a perfect fit, offering both functional strength and natural esthetics. From the moment we receive your scan data, we ensure a seamless transition from design to final product delivery.
🧩 Our Workflow – From Design to Delivery
1. Data Submission & Case Intake
Formats Accepted: STL, PLY, OBJ from all major intraoral scanners (iTero, Medit, 3Shape, etc.)
Model-Based Submissions: For clinics using traditional impressions, we can scan models in-house.
Required Information: Clear scans of implant platforms, bite registrations, occlusion preferences, and final restoration plans.

We perform a fit check for both the titanium frame and locator attachment to ensure that everything is aligned and functional. Marginal integrity, bite fit, and occlusion are verified at this stage.Final Fit Testing:
After the denture is fully assembled, we conduct a physical fit test to ensure that the denture will seat properly on the implants and function effectively.
5. Polishing & Final Adjustments
Surface Finishing:
The titanium frame is polished to ensure a smooth, comfortable fit, and the ceramic or acrylic teeth are finely polished to give a natural, lifelike appearance.Final Adjustments:
If necessary, we can adjust the occlusal contacts, margins, or the gingival contour to ensure the best functional and aesthetic results for your patient.

5. Material Customization
Ceramic vs. Acrylic Teeth:
Depending on the patient’s needs, we customize the denture teeth using ceramic or acrylic materials. Ceramic teeth offer superior aesthetic quality, while acrylic teeth are more cost-effective and ideal for temporary restorations or budget-conscious patients.Shade Matching:
We offer shade matching to ensure that the denture’s teeth match the patient’s natural teeth as closely as possible. Our advanced shade matching system ensures high translucency and natural color blends for the most lifelike result.
✅ Why Customization Matters for Your Locator Fixed Dentures

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions – Locator Fixed Dentures
❓ What are Locator Fixed Dentures?
Locator Fixed Dentures are a type of implant-supported denture that uses Locator attachment technology for superior retention and stability. These dentures are designed for patients who need full-arch restorations or implant-supported overdentures, providing both functional and aesthetic solutions.
❓ How do Locator Fixed Dentures differ from traditional dentures?
Traditional dentures are removable, whereas Locator Fixed Dentures are implant-supported and permanently attached to the implants. The Locator attachment system provides stronger retention and greater stability, ensuring that the denture stays securely in place, even under heavy chewing forces.
❓ How long do Locator Fixed Dentures last?
When properly cared for, Locator Fixed Dentures can last 10 to 15 years or more. The titanium frame is highly resistant to wear and corrosion, and the ceramic teeth are durable under normal use. However, regular dental checkups are recommended to ensure the denture fit and functionality remain optimal.
❓ What materials are used in Locator Fixed Dentures?
Locator Fixed Dentures typically use a titanium frame for strength and durability, along with ceramic or acrylic teeth for esthetics. Ceramic teeth offer excellent translucency and natural appearance, while acrylic teeth provide a more cost-effective solution for temporary or budget-conscious patients.
❓ Can Locator Fixed Dentures be adjusted after placement?
Yes, Locator Fixed Dentures can be adjusted if necessary. While our digital design process ensures a highly accurate fit, minor adjustments can be made during the final seating procedure if required to ensure comfort and optimal occlusion.
❓ How do I care for Locator Fixed Dentures?
Daily Cleaning:
Clean your Locator Fixed Dentures using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste as it may be too abrasive for the material.Regular Checkups:
Regular dental visits are recommended to check the fit, function, and oral health. Your dentist will monitor for any adjustments needed to maintain comfort and stability.
❓ Are Locator Fixed Dentures suitable for all patients?
Locator Fixed Dentures are suitable for patients who need a long-term, stable solution for full-arch or implant-supported overdentures. They are especially well-suited for patients who:
Have insufficient retention with traditional dentures
Need a more stable and functional solution for implant-supported restorations
Require aesthetic results in addition to functionality
❓ How long does it take to receive Locator Fixed Dentures?
Standard Turnaround Time:
We typically deliver Locator Fixed Dentures within 7–10 working days after receiving the necessary case information and scans.Expedited Services:
For urgent cases, we offer expedited services to ensure fast delivery without compromising on quality.
❓ What if my patient has a metal allergy?
For patients with metal allergies, we offer metal-free options for the denture teeth, such as ceramic teeth. Titanium, used for the frame, is typically well-tolerated by most patients, but we can explore other materials if needed for metal-sensitive individuals.
❓ What is the difference between ceramic and acrylic teeth for Locator Fixed Dentures?
Ceramic Teeth:
Ideal for patients seeking natural esthetics with high translucency and durability. Ceramic teeth offer a lifelike appearance and are ideal for anterior restorations.Acrylic Teeth:
A cost-effective option for patients with budget constraints or for temporary restorations. Acrylic teeth are more flexible and easier to modify, but they may not offer the same level of aesthetic quality as ceramic.
