Review the template weekly for missing fields, duplicate entries, and stale statuses.

Move to structured software when multiple people need live status at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

Is this template a replacement for dental lab software?

No. It is a starting point. Templates help small labs organize a workflow, but software is stronger when multiple people need live case status, files, notes, invoices, and payment tracking.

Can I use the template before starting a free trial?

Yes. Use it to clarify your current workflow, then move the same fields into Dental Lab Guru when you are ready for a shared dashboard.

What should I do after downloading it?

Test it with real cases for one week, note where the template becomes hard to maintain, and use those notes to configure your Dental Lab Guru workflow.
