Resources for practices going digital.
Short, practical guides — written for the doctor and front office, not for other lab techs. Each card below is a placeholder with a topic idea; replace the summary with your own article or link it to a PDF.
Getting started
Sending your first digital case
Walk a new doctor through it end-to-end: export settings from their scanner, what files you need (STL/PLY), how to include the Rx, and what happens on your end.
✎ Great first article — removes the #1 barrier to a new account.
Materials
Zirconia vs. e.max: choosing by case
A plain-English comparison — strength, esthetics, prep requirements, and which you'd recommend for posterior vs. anterior work.
✎ Shows expertise; doctors share these with associates.
Scanning
5 scan mistakes that cause remakes
Blurry margins, missed interproximal contacts, bite scan errors — what you see most often and how the doctor can fix it chairside.
✎ Saves you remakes AND builds trust. Win-win content.
Esthetics
Shade matching that actually matches
Photo protocol for shade communication: lighting, shade tab placement, camera settings, and when to send the patient to the lab.
✎ Add example photos from real cases (with permission).
Workflow
Turnaround times & scheduling guide
Publish your standard turnaround by case type, rush options, and cut-off times. Transparency here is rare and doctors love it.
✎ Could become a downloadable one-pager for offices.
Glossary
Digital dentistry, translated
A living glossary: intraoral scanner, margin line, emergence profile, occlusal clearance, monolithic vs. layered — quick definitions for front-office staff.
✎ Great for SEO — these are the terms people search.
✎ TIP: Start with just 2–3 of these. A Learn section with three genuinely useful articles beats ten thin ones — and each article is something to post on social and email to prospective offices.
