Dental practices: more customers, new revenue, less unnecessary cost.
Dental practices run on the hygiene schedule and on treatment patients have already been told they need. These are the systems we would typically build and operate for a practice, using the tools it already has.
These are examples, not a package. We start with the opportunity worth the most to your business, record a baseline, and build what it needs using the tools you already have.
What we usually see
The same gaps show up in most practices. Patients overdue for a cleaning sit in a report nobody works. Treatment gets diagnosed, presented and never scheduled. The front desk verifies insurance by phone the morning of the visit. A cancellation leaves an hour open in the hygiene column, and the list of patients who wanted an earlier time lives on a sticky note.
Tools you probably already use
- Practice management software such as Dentrix, Eaglesoft or Open Dental
- Patient communication tools such as Weave, RevenueWell or Lighthouse
- Your insurance eligibility and claims tools
- Your website, online booking and Google Business Profile
- Your phone system and text messaging
Where we would start
- 01
Recall that works the whole list
Every patient past due for hygiene gets reminders on the cadence you set, with a way to book, and the ones who do not respond go to the front desk as a short call list.
What changesThe hygiene schedule fills from patients who already belong to the practice.
- 02
Treatment that gets scheduled
Presented treatment that has not been booked is tracked by patient, with follow-ups timed to your process and a flag before benefits reset at the end of the year.
What changesDiagnosed work stops sitting in the chart, and patients use the benefits they have.
- 03
Insurance checked before the visit
Eligibility and coverage are checked ahead of each appointment, and anything that needs a person, such as a lapsed plan or a missing subscriber, goes to the front desk the day before.
What changesMornings start with answers instead of hold music.
- 04
Openings filled from a quick-call list
When an appointment cancels, patients who asked for an earlier time or are due for the same visit get a text offer, and the first to confirm takes the slot.
What changesA cancellation stops turning into an empty chair.
- 05
New patients ready before they arrive
New patients get forms, a request for their insurance details and directions before the first visit, with reminders until the paperwork is in.
What changesThe first appointment starts on time, with the chart already built.
- 06
A weekly practice report
Hygiene fill rate, unscheduled treatment, patients overdue for recall and open insurance issues, in one message before the week starts.
What changesThe doctor sees how the practice is doing without running reports.
Scout, Forge and Sift for dental practices
Scout
Find the demand you are not capturing, from missed inquiries and dormant leads to nearby customers who have never heard of you, then build the path that turns it into paying customers.
Explore Scout ExpandForge
Turn what the business already knows and does into revenue that repeats: plans, memberships, add-ons or new services your customers would pay for.
Explore Forge SaveSift
Find the software, vendors and manual work you pay for every month without needing all of it, and replace them without losing what they do.
Explore SiftWhat stays with you
Diagnosis, treatment plans and anything clinical stay with your dentists and hygienists. AI never diagnoses or gives dental advice; it books, reminds and organizes. Patient information stays in your own systems, and we confirm what each system holds, and what agreements that requires, before anything connects. Review invitations go to every patient the same way and never mention treatment. Connecting your tools does not authorize us to send messages or change records; every automatic action is one you agreed to, and you decide what needs review first.
Questions
- Do we have to change practice management software?
- No. We work with Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental or whatever you use, and connect it to your communication and insurance tools. We confirm what can connect before any work begins.
- Does this replace our patient communication tool?
- Not necessarily. If you use Weave, RevenueWell or something similar, we build on it and connect it to the rest of the practice rather than asking you to switch.
- Will AI talk to patients about their treatment?
- No. Messages remind and invite patients to book. Conversations about treatment, cost estimates and clinical questions stay with your team.
