How to prepare a dental prosthetic sourcing request
A clear prosthetic request helps avoid delays. The laboratory or sourcing team needs precise clinical data, files and expectations.
Prepare the clinical information
Indication, tooth numbers, material preference, shade and photos help the team understand the case before quoting.
Send usable files
STL, scans, photos and prescriptions should be named clearly and linked to the patient or order reference.
Confirm timing and shipping
Production and international delivery times depend on the product type, validation steps and chosen carrier.
Checklist before ordering
- Add tooth numbers and restoration type.
- Attach scans or photos when available.
- Specify shade and material.
- Mention deadline and delivery country.
- Keep patient data limited to what is necessary.
