1) Offer Multiple Lines of Open Communication
Dental labs must not only open up multiple lines of communication - phone, email, website, social media, text - but must listen to what is being said. While this seems obvious, how many times have you had a dental case shipment sent back-and-forth because the dental materials didn’t match the dentist’s specifications? Listen to what the dentist needs, and map out what your dental technicians must do in order to meet those needs.
2) Be Honest
Similar to #1 above, dental laboratories must be honest with their dentists about which services they provide and within what time frame. A simple "yes, we can do that" or "it's going to take one day longer than expected because of XYZ” goes a long way towards reassuring your client, and more importantly, enabling dentists to fulfill their promise to their dental patients.
3) Follow Up
The relationship doesn’t end once the shipment has been sent. Dental laboratories must have their dental team follow up with each dentist to verify that not only the dental case was received on time, but that it met the needs of both the dentist and the dental patient. Follow up with your dentists by asking “How did the material fit?” and “Was the patient happy?”
Treat your work relationship like a personal relationship and you’ll see success in your dental lab. Open up lines of communication, listen to what’s being said, be honest about your abilities, and follow up in order to nurture your relationship with existing dentists. After all, dentistry is deeply personal work - so act like it!

ReplyDeleteCommunication is the key to success. Dental Laboratories need to effectively communicate with dentists to deliver the best to the dental patients. The outcome of a dental Prosthesis depends upon the laboratory work and the materials used. The technicians should use all available mediums to understand the needs and demands of every case and put in the best efforts to create the best of the results. Maintaining transparency in work, materials and techniques not only enables in making long term doctor laboratory relationships but helps in fulfilling patient expectations as well.
ReplyDeleteRemember, finding a new dental lab from time to time can be costly, and it takes time that you likely do not have. Working through communication issues is always the best place to start!
