The relationship between dentists and dental labs goes beyond a typical customer-vendor dynamic. It’s a true partnership built on collaboration and trust.Success in this partnership hinges on open, effective communication. After all, crafting precise restorations requires more than just a prescription. When cases don’t fit or restorations fail, miscommunication is often the culprit.By working as partners, dentists and labs ensure better outcomes and consistently deliver high-quality patient care.

Dentists are busier than ever, according to research by the American Dental Association (ADA). They have been working longer hours since the pandemic, while practice expenses balloon faster than revenues. With staffing shortages also prevalent, the ADA predicted a continued ‘margin compression’ in the dental sector.Improving workflows is now even more crucial, as lost chair time and operational delays lead to the loss of already dwindling revenues.

Digital dentistry has transformed dental labs through unparalleled efficiency and improved case outcomes. But even the most advanced dental lab can run into production bottlenecks, which are not always obvious.These bottlenecks develop gradually, hidden in outdated workflows or staffing gaps, until work starts to accumulate, production slows down, and a lab’s bottom line takes a hit.This guide breaks down the most common production challenges faced by dental labs — and how to fix them.
