  • Capture photogrammetry records for full-arch implant workflows.
  • Capture digital photographs (extraoral) for esthetic planning.
  • Identify implant systems and select proper scan bodies, using digital calipers if needed.
  • Submit all captured records along with lab Rx forms.

Technical Consultation (Supporting Dentist)

  • Provide assistance to the dentist regarding prosthetic fit and design, shade selection, and esthetic considerations.
  • Offer real-time verbal recommendations to the dentist during try-ins (e.g., screw-retained hybrid seating).
  • Communicate observations that help optimize the laboratory’s fabrication process.

Relationship Management & Client Support

  • Foster positive, professional relationships with dental teams to enhance trust and drive repeat business.
  • Serve as the lab’s in-office representative, ensuring communication clarity and minimizing remakes or delays.
  • Support the scheduling process with the Customer Experience Team.
  • Provide fee schedules and information about product lines and service.

Infection Control & Equipment Maintenance

  • Adhere to PPE protocols (scrubs, mask, gloves, eyewear).
  • Sanitize all scanning, photogrammetry and other equipment before and after use.
  • Follow proper waste disposal and hand hygiene standards.
  • Complete all training as required.

Administrative & Communication

  • Coordinate promptly with lab technical teams for additional records or clarifications.
  • Maintain detailed case documentation per internal SOPs
