The guide we send dentists.

The same instructions that go out with a new portal invitation, in twenty pages — sign in, start an order, choose the design, attach the scan, confirm and place it. Every picture is a real screen from the portal.

Ordering
on the Dentaltec
portal

A step-by-step guide for dentists. Ten screens, about three minutes — turn the pages with the arrows, the contents list, or your keyboard.

Page 2Why

What the portal does

One place for cases, progress and billing — instead of prescription forms, couriers and phone calls.

  • Send a case in minutes. Attach scans, photos and your prescription; no courier paperwork.
  • See where every case is. Track it from receipt through to dispatch without calling us.
  • Keep the account up to date. Invoices, statements and order history in one place.
  • Your trade rates, applied automatically. The rates on your account are the rates on the order.
Nothing to install. It runs in any browser, on a computer, tablet or phone.
Not set up yet? The invitation email has your setup link. How registration works
Page 3Before you start

Have these ready

None of it is complicated. Having it open before you begin is what makes the order take three minutes.

  • Your clinic email — the address we write to about your cases.
  • The patient's name, or a reference if you prefer not to use it.
  • The tooth numbers and the design you want.
  • Your scan — STL, PLY, OBJ, DICOM or a ZIP. If you are sending impressions instead, choose that and we collect them.
No scan yet? You can attach it later and we will add it to your case. The order does not have to wait for the file.
