DSO CAD Outsourcing

Multi-location groups struggle to keep design quality consistent when each clinic sources its own lab or designer. DSO CAD outsourcing centralizes that decision — every location gets the same turnaround, the same QC standard and one predictable invoice instead of inconsistent quality clinic by clinic.

Why DSOs choose DSO CAD outsourcing

Centralizing design for multiple clinic locations under one vendor relationship is the core value of DSO CAD outsourcing, but the consistency benefit compounds across everything downstream — QC and turnaround standards stay the same across every site, volume-based pricing applies as case count scales across the group, and multi-user portal access lets each clinic location manage its own cases under one account.

Every case is designed in exocad or 3Shape to the same standard regardless of which clinic submitted it, so group leadership never has to reconcile quality differences between locations.

How DSO CAD outsourcing works

Onboard your group with one master portal account and per-clinic staff access, and every location submits cases directly through the shared portal from there. Cases are designed and QC-checked to the same standard, regardless of clinic, and group-level reporting shows volume and turnaround across all locations from a single dashboard.

For the lab-focused version of this same centralized relationship, our dental lab CAD outsourcing page covers how it works for labs specifically rather than clinic groups.

Getting started

Most groups start DSO CAD outsourcing by onboarding two or three locations first to confirm quality and reporting meet group standards before rolling out across every clinic. There is no requirement to onboard the entire group at once.

Group-level reporting is often the single biggest reason DSOs move to DSO CAD outsourcing over letting each clinic manage its own lab relationship. Leadership gets one consistent view of volume and turnaround across every site, instead of piecing together separate reports from clinics that each used a different vendor.

Volume-based pricing under DSO CAD outsourcing scales with the group as a whole rather than each clinic negotiating its own rate, which typically means better pricing than any single location could secure on its own, while every site still gets the same senior-review QC standard.

New clinic locations joining an existing group can be added to the shared portal account quickly, without renegotiating pricing or onboarding a separate vendor relationship for that one site.
