Dental Lab New Account Enquiry Form: Fields That Matter

Overview

A dental laboratory needs two very different forms.

The first is a business-development form for a dentist who is considering the lab.

The second is a clinical case workflow for sending an actual prescription, patient case and digital files.

Do not combine them casually.

Collect the dental practice or organization name.

This helps separate:

• individual dentist;
• group practice;
• DSO office;
• prosthodontic practice;
• oral-surgery practice.

Field 2: Dentist / contact

Collect:

Useful roles include:

• name;
• role;
• business email;
• phone.
• dentist;
• practice owner;
• office manager;
• treatment coordinator;
• purchasing/operations.

Field 3: Practice location

Ask for:

This helps determine:

• city;
• state/region;
• postcode/ZIP.
• pickup availability;
• local support;
• shipping workflow;
• account territory.

Field 4: What are you looking for?

Useful service choices can include:

This is commercial interest, not a prescription.

• mostly traditional impressions;
• mixed;
• transitioning to digital;
• not sure.

Field 6: Scanner brand

If the practice is digital, ask optionally:

Do not ask the dentist to upload a patient scan in this form.

Current dental labs make scanner connection a public onboarding step, but clinical file transfer belongs in the secure production workflow.

• iTero;
• TRIOS;
• CEREC;
• Medit;
• other.

Field 7: Approximate case mix

Optional commercial choices:

Avoid patient-specific descriptions.

• mostly single-unit restorative;
• implants;
• removables;
• full arch;
• mixed;
• not sure.

Field 8: Approximate case volume

Useful bands can include:

The purpose is account qualification, not surveillance.

• occasional cases;
• 1–10 per month;
• 11–30;
• 31+;
• multi-location / group;
• prefer to discuss.

Field 9: Pickup or shipping need

Ask:

This helps the lab explain the first-case workflow.

• local pickup;
• shipping label;
• nationwide shipping;
• not sure.

Field 10: Consultation request

Offer:

A consultation request can be a stronger conversion than Contact us.

• talk to a technician;
• discuss scanner setup;
• discuss complex-case workflow at a high level;
• discuss account/pricing;
• general new-account enquiry.

Field 11: Preferred contact method

Use:

Avoid promising instant live technical consultation unless staff supports it.

• phone;
• email;
• call at a preferred time.

Field 12: Commercial notes

Prompt:

Tell us what you are looking for in a lab, your usual workflow and any onboarding questions. Please do not include patient information or clinical case files here.

That final sentence is valuable.

What not to collect in a general marketing form

Avoid asking for:

If the lab operates in a regulated healthcare environment, use its approved secure clinical system for that data.

• patient name;
• date of birth;
• diagnosis;
• prescription;
• clinical photos;
• STL/PLY/DCM files;
• protected health information;
• case-specific medical details.
