Built for Dental Practices

Your front desk is
drowning. Let's fix that.

Dental practices lose 10–15% of appointments to no-shows, and front desk staff spend hours every week on reminder calls, intake forms, and review chasing. We solve it with managed products for recurring needs and scoped custom systems for unique processes.

The manual work killing your margin

"No-shows kill your schedule"

Your front desk calls every patient the day before. When they can't reach someone, they call again. That's hours of manual work that still doesn't prevent every no-show.

"New patient intake is a paper nightmare"

Patients arrive 10 minutes early to fill out forms. Staff re-enters data manually. Errors happen. Time is wasted.

"You never ask for reviews at the right moment"

The best time to ask is right after a great appointment. That moment passes and the review never gets written.

Four automations that run your front desk

From $2,000

Appointment Reminder Automation

Appointment booked in Dentrix/Eaglesoft/Open Dental → text+email at 48hrs and 24hrs before → patient confirms via reply → front desk sees confirmation, no calls made.

From $4,000

New Patient Intake Automation

New patient books → digital intake forms sent immediately → completed forms logged to patient record → staff alerted when complete. No paper, no manual entry.

From $2,000

Post-Visit Review Request

From $4,000

Insurance Verification Workflow

Build notes: what actually breaks

The details that decide whether a dental front-desk automation survives contact with a real practice management system.

  • Dentrix has no open API on most installs. This is the single biggest scoping variable in dental work. Many practices run a version where integration means a database-level or bridge-tool approach, not a REST call. Scope this before quoting anything.
  • Recall lists go stale between the pull and the send. A patient who books on Tuesday should not get a Wednesday recall text. Re-check appointment status at send time, not at list-build time.
  • PHI stays out of the message body. Recall and reminder texts name the practice and the appointment time, never the procedure. Treat every message template as something a regulator could read.
  • Family accounts break naive de-duplication. Four patients on one household phone number will get four texts unless the build groups by guarantor and sends one consolidated message.
  • Review requests must fire on completion, not booking. Timing is the whole ballgame. Two days after the visit converts; same-day is intrusive and pre-visit is nonsense.
  • Cancellations need a reverse path. Every reminder sequence needs a cancel branch that stops the remaining messages and frees the slot, or the automation keeps texting about an appointment that no longer exists.
  • Confirm the practice owns the messaging number. If the number belongs to a vendor, the practice loses the conversation history when they switch. Register it under the practice.

No. We build on top of your existing software. Your staff keeps using Dentrix or Eaglesoft exactly as before.

After an appointment is marked complete, a 2-hour delay is applied, then a personalized SMS with a direct link to your Google Business profile review page. We filter recent complainers so you only request reviews from satisfied patients.

A single prevented no-show on a hygiene appointment recovers $150–$300. For a practice with 50 appointments/week at 10% no-show rate, reducing no-shows 30–50% recovers $2,250–$7,500/month.

No. One-time flat build fee. n8n costs under $20/month and is disclosed before you commit.
