The short answer
For Leeds clinics, a dependable digital workflow begins with a complete prescription and a date both sides have accepted. ExoLink's planned matching model includes capacity and due-date feasibility as well as price and quality.
How can a Leeds practice separate requested and accepted dates?
Record the patient appointment, requested completion and any delivery expectation as separate planning facts. A requested fitting date is useful information, but it is not a commitment from the production workflow. The case needs the required scan and prescription before the recipient can check what work is possible. Ask whether a quoted estimate means working days and what is included.
For a hypothetical bridge case requiring design review, the practice should allow for the clinician's response before assuming manufacture can proceed. If a review request is unanswered, the team needs to know which appointment plan could be affected. This is an example of coordination, not a fixed bridge turnaround.
How should the team handle an altered plan?
Keep the original requested date, the accepted date and the reason for a later change visible in the same record. Notify the responsible clinician and practice team promptly if an instruction or file must be replaced. Do not solve a planning problem by making an undocumented clinical substitution or silently removing a quality check.
The intended ExoLink allocation rules check product fit, price caps, quality, available capacity and whether the date is feasible. Cases without a suitable match should be reviewed rather than assigned by ignoring a constraint. Live case allocation is a later build stage, so this page explains the model rather than claiming a current dispatch service.
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.
Read For Clinics and How it works, choose the relevant scanner guide, or apply as a clinic. Visit For Labs for the network application process. These pages describe service for clinics in the named city; they do not identify where any lab operates.
Frequently asked questions
Can a clinic in Leeds 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.

The Exodent editorial team prepares practical workflow information for ExoLink. This is operational guidance, not patient-specific clinical advice. Scanner instructions link to the manufacturer's documentation; the treating clinician remains responsible for clinical decisions.
