Let patients book online, cut no-shows with automatic WhatsApp reminders, and keep six-month recall check-ups from slipping through the cracks — all from one calendar.
A dental practice lives and dies by its appointment book. Between root canals, cleanings, orthodontic reviews, and emergency toothaches, your front desk juggles a constant stream of calls while patients sit in the chair. PracticeOak is appointment booking software for dentists that moves scheduling online, so patients can book, reschedule, and confirm themselves — and your team can stay focused on chairside care instead of the phone.
Dental treatments vary widely in length, and PracticeOak lets you model that precisely. Define each treatment as its own service with its own duration — a 20-minute scaling, a 45-minute filling, a 90-minute crown fitting — so patients only ever see slots that actually fit the work. If you run more than one chair or more than one dentist, assign each appointment to the right operatory and clinician so two patients never land in the same slot.
Because dentistry runs on recall, reminders matter more here than almost anywhere. PracticeOak sends booking confirmations and appointment reminders automatically over WhatsApp and email, so patients who booked a cleaning months ago actually turn up — and the six-month check-up that keeps your chairs full doesn’t get forgotten.
An empty crown or implant slot is expensive. Automatic WhatsApp and email reminders nudge patients before every visit, so far fewer of those long appointments go to waste.
Six-month recalls are the backbone of a healthy book, but they’re easy to lose track of. Rebook the next visit before the patient leaves and let reminders carry it.
Reception can’t answer the phone and greet patients at once. A shareable booking link lets patients book themselves 24/7, freeing your team for the chairside.
On Pro and Business plans, confirmations and reminders go out automatically on WhatsApp and email — where your patients will actually see them.
Give every procedure its own duration and buffer, so a quick scaling and a long crown fitting are each booked into the right amount of chair time.
Add associate dentists and hygienists with role-based access and assign each appointment to the right person and chair, with conflict detection built in.
Book the next check-up in seconds from the patient’s history, and let automated reminders bring them back on time.
