Direct connection · DS Core by Dentsply Sirona

DS Core orders become cases,and the dentist sees your progress

Connect your lab's DS Core account once. Each order a practice sends you in DS Core arrives in SimpleLabOS as a case with the prescription and scans attached. As the case moves through production, SimpleLabOS updates the order in DS Core, and adds your tracking number when it ships.

Does any dental lab management software connect directly to DS Core?

Yes. SimpleLabOS connects to DS Core through Dentsply Sirona's official lab API. A lab owner or manager signs in to the lab's DS Core account under Settings → Integrations → Scanners. New DS Core orders then arrive as cases, usually within a minute, with teeth, restorations, material, shade, due date and STL scans. When the lab starts, finishes and ships the case, the order status in DS Core follows.

Available on every SimpleLabOS plan, for DS Core lab accounts in these regions: United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, Brazil, Korea and India. There is no extra fee from SimpleLabOS for the connection.

What arrives with each DS Core order

FieldStatusHow it works
DoctorFilled in automaticallyMatched to an existing doctor by the ordering dentist's email (or billing email). If there is no match, a new doctor is created so the order is never lost.
Patient nameFilled in automaticallyFirst and last name as entered on the DS Core order.
Due dateFilled in automaticallyFrom the order's due date, in your lab's time zone.
TeethFilled in automaticallyTooth numbers arrive in Universal numbering (converted from FDI when an order carries only FDI numbers).
Restoration per toothFilled in automaticallyFinal and temporary restorations and custom abutments each become a line on the case.
DenturesFilled in automaticallyFull, copy and partial dentures and partial frameworks arrive as a removable case.
Material and shadeFilled in automaticallyTaken from the order, with the shade guide when one is given.
Service typeFilled in automaticallyDesign only, manufacturing only or Primeprint orders are labelled in the case notes.
Practice's noteFilled in automaticallyThe note written when the order was placed, and the DS Core order number, are copied into the case notes.
Other itemsNeeds a quick checkNight guards, models and aligners have no restoration type, so they are listed in the case notes for you to price.
Scan filesFilled in automaticallySTL scans for each jaw are stored on the case and open in the built-in 3D viewer. Very large files, such as a CBCT study over 80 MB, stay in DS Core and you get a notification to download them there.

What goes back to DS Core

DS Core lets a lab move an order forward step by step. SimpleLabOS does that for you as the case moves on your board.

In production

When the case moves into production or QC, the order moves to In Manufacturing in DS Core.

Ready

When the case is ready, the order moves to Manufactured.

Shipped, with tracking

When the case ships, the order moves to Shipped. If the case has a tracking number at that point, it is added to the order as a comment.

Never backwards

Status only moves forward. If the practice cancels the order in DS Core, SimpleLabOS stops updating it, and your team gets a notification on the case.

Good to know

Your DS Core lab account

Practices must have your lab set up as a lab in DS Core. The connection works with the lab account they send orders to.

Files flow one way

Scans come from DS Core into SimpleLabOS. Finished designs are not sent back to DS Core.

Design-only orders

For orders that are design only, DS Core shows In Design until the case ships, because there are no manufacturing steps to report.

Your monthly case limit applies

If your plan's case limit for the month is reached, the order is not imported and you get a notification to upgrade or add it by hand.

Dentists on other scanners?

SimpleLabOS also connects directly to Medit Link.

SimpleLabOS has no direct connection to iTero or 3Shape; for those, cases are created from the scanner notification emails.

DS Core integration FAQ

Does SimpleLabOS integrate with DS Core?

Yes. SimpleLabOS connects directly to DS Core through Dentsply Sirona's official lab API. Orders arrive as cases with the prescription and scans, and the order status in DS Core is updated as the case moves through production and ships.

Which SimpleLabOS plan includes the DS Core connection?

Every plan, including Starter, and during the free trial. There is no extra fee from SimpleLabOS for the connection.

Does it work outside the United States?

Yes. DS Core keeps lab accounts in regional data centers, and SimpleLabOS works with these: United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, Brazil, Korea and India. When you connect, you choose the region your DS Core account is in.

How fast do DS Core orders show up?

DS Core notifies SimpleLabOS when an order is created, so it usually appears within a minute. A background check every 10 minutes catches anything that was missed.

Can the dentist see that the case shipped?

Yes. When you mark the case shipped, the DS Core order moves to Shipped, and if the case has a tracking number, it is added to the order as a comment.
