title: Internet outlook: changing the way laboratories do business.
abstract: This article explores how dental laboratories are taking advantage of the Internet's potential. It offers options for web site construction--including in-house creation vs. using a professional designer--ways to attract new dentist-clients and ideas for using e-mail to facilitate communication with them, thus improving restorations and reducing remakes. Hardware and software necessary for an Internet connection is discussed as well as service providers.
