Overview
Akik Cad Cam Prosthetics is a digital dental lab based in Barishal, Bangladesh. The site describes it as the first prosthodontics lab in the Barishal Division. It makes zirconia crowns, CAD PFM restorations, inlays, partial frameworks, temporary implant bridges and 3D-printed models for dental surgeons, with contact points in Barishal, Dhaka and Stockholm, Sweden. It also runs a postgraduate training academy in digital dentistry.
The platform is the lab’s storefront and ordering channel. Its customers aren’t patients but registered dental surgeons, who log in to order work for their patients. Around that, the site does the job of a lab’s website: it shows what the lab makes, which doctors work with it, the results it delivers, and how to train there.
The challenge
A dental lab sells to professionals, which shapes the whole product:
- Ordering is for clinicians only. Prosthetics are made to a dentist’s prescription, so ordering sits behind a login (“Login To Order”) instead of an open checkout.
- Trust comes from peers. Dentists choose a lab by its quality and by who else uses it, so the site needed a doctor network, before/after cases and reviews, not just a product list.
- Patients need a way in too. People looking for treatment should be able to find a partner dentist near them.
- Content changes often. Services, carousel slides, doctor profiles, cases and academy notices are all managed in the app. Their images are uploaded into the app’s own storage, rather than hard-coded.
The solution
Services catalogue
Each of the lab’s products has its own entry: Zirconia Crown, Dental Crown, Dental Inlay, CAD PFM, Cast Partial Framework, 3D-printed restoration models, and Temporary Implant Bridge. Each appears as a card with an illustration on the home page, and the catalogue also has a dedicated Services page.
Login to order, and a cart
The header’s main call to action is Login To Order, and the menu includes My Cart. Ordering happens inside an authenticated account, so the lab knows which surgeon each order belongs to.
“Find Doctor”: a directory of partner dentists
“Our Doctors in Bangladesh” lists dentists who work with the lab, with their qualifications, clinic, address and a View on Map link. Visitors can filter the directory by division and district to find someone nearby. For the lab, the directory doubles as social proof; for patients, it’s a way to find treatment.
Cases, reviews and numbers
- Our Work: a carousel of before/after cases, each with case details.
- Testimonials, plus a Leave a Review form (name, occupation, address, message) so new reviews come in through the site.
- Headline figures for happy clients, dental surgeons, years of experience and types of service.
