In a small chamber the dentist often answers the phone, sees the patient and writes the notes. Online booking can take some of that load off.
Fewer interruptions
When patients can see your open slots and book themselves, there are fewer calls during treatment, and fewer messages after hours.
Fewer missed appointments
Booking confirmations and reminder emails help patients remember. A patient who can cancel with one click frees the slot for someone else instead of simply not turning up.
A clearer week
You set the days and hours you are available, and add or block times for holidays and emergencies. Patients can only book what you have opened.
Patients can find you at any hour
Many people look for a dentist in the evening. If they can book then, they do not have to wait for the clinic to open or call back.
What to keep in mind
- Keep your slots up to date. An outdated calendar frustrates patients.
- Answer or confirm quickly. First impressions count.
- Do not ask patients to send medical records through public forms.
Getting started
On Dental Chambers you set weekly hours once, and can add one-off slots or time off. Join as a dentist and publish your first slots.
