However, embracing automation tools, like Dentally’s cloud enabled dental practice software, can alleviate stress, improve efficiency, and foster both staff loyalty and patient retention. Appointment management made easy Running a manual appointment system can be a time-consuming and tedious process. However, Dentally allows you to optimise white space, link family appointments, and identify gaps in your schedule efficiently. This not only ensures proper chair time utilisation and revenue opportunities but also enables your team to handle short-notice cancellations and emergency appointments seamlessly, ensuring patients receive timely care.

However, handling appointment reminders and phone calls whilst managing a busy practice can be costly; leaving room for errors and missed appointments. Dentally’s automated communication tools help manage all communication at the right intervals, using the patient’s preferred method—whether email, SMS, or post.
