Toward a 100% digital workflow : from impression to shade with Cobra
Published on 16th April 2026
The digitalization of dental practices has significantly transformed workflows.
Today, impression capture is largely digital, bringing precision and reliability. Within this evolution, shade plays an equally essential role.
It does not simply complement the workflow : it is an integral part of it.

Shape and shade: two key data points
An aesthetic result relies on two inseparable elements:
✔ Shape
✔ Shade
When both are captured and processed digitally, the workflow becomes more consistent, precise, and reproducible.
Integrating shade into the workflow
Cobra enables the digitalization of shade taking and integrates it into a structured workflow.
From shape to shade, every data point becomes measurable, actionable, and connected, improving communication with the laboratory and control over results.
This approach also fully applies to teeth whitening protocols, where shade tracking before and after treatment becomes objective, measurable, and valuable for the patient.
A shift toward a new standard
Combining impression and shade within the same digital workflow is gradually becoming a new standard in dental practice, bringing greater reliability and consistency to daily workflows.
