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.
