Digitalization of Dental Laboratories

Dentistry is a rapidly changing industry, driven by the rapid development of technology. This change requires dental laboratories to also reshape their business processes.

Digitalization is a key way for dental laboratories to improve their efficiency and productivity. Digital technologies offer laboratories the opportunity to achieve more accurate and consistent results, deliver in shorter timeframes, and operate at lower costs.

The main advantages that digitalization offers to dental laboratories are:

• More accurate and consistent results: Digital technologies enable more accurate and consistent results than traditional methods. This helps to produce better dental prostheses and implants for patients.
• Shorter delivery times: Digital technologies allow shorter delivery times than traditional methods. This helps patients to receive their prostheses or implants more quickly.
• Lower costs: Digital technologies enable laboratories to operate at lower costs than traditional methods. This helps to improve laboratory profitability.

Digitalization has completely changed the business processes of dental laboratories. Nowadays, digital technologies are increasingly used in dental laboratories instead of traditional methods.

To benefit from the advantages that digitalization offers to dental laboratories, laboratories need to take the following steps:

• Research digital technologies: Laboratories need to research the available digital technologies and identify the ones that are most suitable for them.
• Implement digital technologies: Laboratories need to start implementing the digital technologies they have identified and train their staff.
• Continuously develop digital technologies: Laboratories need to keep up-to-date with digital technologies and implement new innovations.

Digitalization is a key way for dental laboratories to increase their competitiveness and succeed in the future.
