For professionals
Join the digital pathway without having to manufacture everything yourself.
3D Dental can be built as the connection between customers, suitable scanning providers, clinicians where required, and digital manufacturers.
Scan
Use agreed scan specifications so files are suitable for the intended manufacturing workflow.
Review
Where a device requires clinical assessment, prescription or fitting, keep responsibility clear and visible.
Manufacture
Send approved digital files through a defined laboratory/manufacturing route with transparent pricing.
Potential professional partners
- Dental practices offering intraoral scanning.
- Mobile scanning services.
- Dentists, therapists and other DCPs working within their permitted roles.
- Digital dental laboratories and device manufacturers.
- Care-home oral-health services.
Next stage: before this becomes a live network, each device needs a written pathway covering who can scan, who prescribes or approves, who manufactures, who fits where relevant, and who deals with complaints or remakes.
Do you already have a digital scanner?
3D Dental will encourage care homes and members of the public to look for local scanning support. If you want to be discoverable as this network develops, visit the Dental Health Service website and register your current services.
