Working with JJ Thompson

At JJ Thompson we continuously improve our systems and processes to provide the best possible service.

Sending work to us:

We accept impressions, models, intra-oral scans and STL files.

Sending impressions:

We can provide address labels or prepaid postage bags if required. The prepaid postage bags are provided at cost
When sending impressions, we recommend they are wrapped in damp cotton gauze and placed in a sealed bag to keep them moist in transit
You will need to send a suitable prescription form which can be found on the website. To do this:
– Visit www.jjthompson.co.uk
– Click the tab “about us”
– Click “useful documents”
– Select the correct prescription form

Sending digital scans:

We can accept files from any type of intra-oral scanner by any file format through our company portal

To open a portal account on our website:
– Visit www.jjthompson.co.uk
– Click “log into portal”Click “create an account”
– Fill in the require information

Once this is completed, someone will be in contact to let you know the next step.

When submitting scans, a prescription form needs to be completed through the company portal. This is always required because:

The intra-oral scanner software alone does not provide enough information to act as the prescription.
– We do not accept prescriptions via email as this is not a secure format

If using the BUPA Labs ordering system, remember to tick the “digital” check box to correctly initiate the case
