Nearshore Dental Design in Mexico for U.S. Labs: Fixed and Removable

Availability notice — U.S. market. PROCA does not manufacture or ship physical dental products to the United States. Physical production is available in Mexico only. For U.S. laboratories we offer CAD design services with digital file delivery. See nearshore dental CAD design.

When a U.S. laboratory looks south for help, the bottleneck is usually design, not machines. Scans wait for a designer, one senior technician is the only person who can finish a partial framework, or volume grows faster than the team. Nearshore CAD design moves that step to a team in Mexico while milling, printing and finishing stay in your lab.

PROCA works that way: an in-house design team delivers production-ready files, and your laboratory manufactures the restoration with its own equipment or supplier.

What PROCA designs for U.S. labs

• Fixed work: crowns and bridges, including zirconia and PMMA designs. See zirconia crown design for U.S. labs and crown and bridge design.
• Removable work: RPD frameworks for casting or SLM, including titanium RPD framework design, and denture design. RPD design services explains the handoff.
• Night guards and implant bars: designed as files for your own mill or manufacturing route.

Define the CAD scope before the first case

State what you will send and what you expect back: scans and antagonist, bite registration, prescription, material and the file format your production route accepts. Calibrate your preferences once — contacts, connectors, margins, clasp styles — so they apply from the first case. For removable work, what to send for an RPD design case lists the essentials.

Agree who in your lab approves a design and how changes are requested. Keep the approved file version with the case record, so the version that is manufactured is the version that was approved.

Your lab keeps production

The deliverable is a production-ready digital file. Milling, printing, sintering, finishing and delivery to your clients stay with your laboratory or the supplier you choose. Your equipment, your quality checks and your client relationship stay where they are today.

Plan communication across the working day

Mexico shares business hours with U.S. labs, and the team works in English and Spanish. A question about a margin, a connector or a path of insertion can be settled during your working day instead of overnight. Name the person in your lab who answers design questions.

Compare the cost of an accepted design

CAD design for U.S. labs is billed in prepaid design credits. When you compare partners, count the cost of a design your lab accepts: redesigns, internal review time and remakes caused by design belong in the comparison. The nearshore vs. offshore comparison shows what to measure.

Start with a small set of cases

Choose representative case types and agree acceptance criteria for the files before you start. Record the approved file, the questions raised and any adjustment your team made before manufacturing. Expand the scope with what that evaluation shows; one good case does not establish sustained capacity.

Frequently asked questions

Is CAD design the whole service?

Yes. For U.S. laboratories PROCA delivers design as digital files. Manufacturing is not part of the service.

Does PROCA manufacture or ship restorations to the U.S.?

No. PROCA does not manufacture or ship physical dental products to the United States. Physical production is available in Mexico only.

Can we keep our own milling and finishing?

Yes. Your laboratory keeps all manufacturing and finishing; PROCA designs the file your route needs.
