Why this matters?

Miscalculating due dates leads to "Rush" charges, stressed technicians, and angry doctors.

Did you know? SimpleLabOS automatically calculates due dates for every case based on the specific product type (e.g. Zirconia vs PFM) and your lab's custom holiday schedule.

How to Calculate Dental Lab Turnaround Times

Calculating accurate "Date Due" is one of the most common sources of friction between dental labs and clinics. A "10-day turnaround" usually means 10 business days, not calendar days.

Common Pitfalls in Scheduling

  • The "Calendar Day" Mistake: Doctors often count weekends, leading to cases being expected 2-3 days early.
  • Holiday Surprises: Forgetting about Memorial Day or Labor Day can delay an entire week's worth of cases.
  • Shipping Time: Does "10 days" include the day of pickup and delivery? Usually, labs require 10 days in lab.

Use this tool to communicate clear expectations. Or, switch to SimpleLabOS and let our "Smart Schedule" engine handle it automatically for every single case.
