The short answer
Birmingham clinics can use ExoLink's intended workflow to make product instructions, price limits and delivery expectations clearer. Onboarding starts with approval and a confirmed scanner recipient, not an instant live connection.
How can a Birmingham clinic compare a proposed lab product?
Compare the complete specification rather than only a product name. A crown prescription should identify the material selected by the dentist and the required finishing expectations. An implant restoration also needs the relevant component and workflow details. Ask what is included in the price and what would require a separate approval, so the practice is not comparing unlike offers.
Consider a hypothetical implant case where component information arrives after the scan. The team should mark the prescription as needing clarification and confirm the component before treating the case as ready. This example illustrates why a quoted unit price does not establish clinical completeness or an accepted date.
What belongs in a clinic's price-cap policy?
A cap is a limit on the permitted product cost within the agreed workflow. It is not permission to choose a different treatment or substitute a material. Record who can approve an exception and how that approval is linked to the case. If no suitable product meets the cap and timing constraints, the intended ExoLink process requires human review.
The clinic should also ask how adjustments and corrections are recorded. Clear commercial information helps a practice plan, but the public build does not yet create live invoices. Check the current feature status and the applicable terms before using the platform for live work.
How do you prepare to join ExoLink?
Apply as a clinic with your registered practice details, lead dentist information, scanner systems and product interests. Applications are reviewed before an account is created. After approval, ask the team to confirm the scanner recipient identity and the agreed data-handling process. Do not send patient scans through the public contact form or infer an account identifier from a similar business name.

Frequently asked questions
Can a clinic in Birmingham apply now?
Yes, clinics can submit an application for review. Live production, case tracking and billing are later build stages; submitting an application is not a promise that live cases can be sent immediately.
Does the city name identify a lab's location?
No. This page is about clinics served in the named city. It does not publish or identify lab locations.
