Continuing Education: Bridging the Gap Between Lab and Office

Written by DDS Dental Lab | Jan 8, 2026 11:46:01 PM

Continuing education courses empower clinicians and their teams to stay current with best practices, refine clinical techniques, and better understand restorative materials. By building confidence in digital tools and improving lab communication, CE directly contributes to fewer remakes, improved fit, and faster turnaround times. Process 


Team-Based Learning Makes the Biggest Impact

Every member of the dental team can contribute more effectively with the right continuing education learning. When assistants understand lab expectations for impression quality or when front office staff know how to properly submit a case digitally, the process becomes more efficient from start to finish. Encourage cross-training and shared learning to reduce bottlenecks and improve results.


The Lab’s Role in Clinical Success

A dental lab is only as good as the information and materials it receives. Inconsistent preparations, unclear prescriptions, and inaccurate impressions or scans are some of the most common causes of remakes. 

Continuing education courses that focus on lab communication, digital workflows, and material selection can help bridge these gaps and strengthen collaboration between the clinical team and the lab.

Continuing education is more than just a box to check - it’s a tool for transformation. When dental offices and labs learn together, they work better together. Stronger communication, better clinical decisions, and improved case outcomes all start with shared knowledge.
