The problem

Dental groups send cases all month, then send one lump sum. No breakdown. Underpayments slip through. Overpayments get clawed back months later.

The problem

A crown doesn’t fit. The dentist says the lab got it wrong. The lab says the scan was poor. The conversation happened over a phone call two weeks ago, so nobody can point to the source of truth.

What SmileGenius does

  • Surfaces scan quality, prescription completeness, and remake rates by clinic

  • Data goes to the lab AND the dental group

  • The group uses it to organise training for clinical staff

  • No finger-pointing. The data talks.
