What is a doctor portal for a dental lab?
A doctor portal (also called a dentist portal or clinic portal) is a private area where the dentists who send work to a dental laboratory can submit cases, upload files, chat with the lab, and see real-time status updates without having to call or email.
What dentists can do in the portal
- Submit a new case to the lab with patient, work type, shade, and notes.
- Upload Rx files, intraoral scans, and photos.
- Chat with the lab on each case in one place.
- See the live status of every case they have submitted.
- See past cases and invoices.
What the lab gets
- Fewer emails, fewer phone calls, fewer messages on personal apps.
- Every file and message tied to the right case automatically.
- Faster turnaround because there are no missing details.
- A more professional impression on the dentist.
How it fits with the rest of Dental Lab Guru
The doctor portal feeds directly into case management, so a case submitted by a dentist appears immediately in the lab's pipeline. Once delivered, the case can be turned into an invoice in a few clicks.
