The Benefits of Automating Processes for Dental Practices
Automating processes such as paperwork, appointment reminders, review requests, and bulk messages offers several benefits to dental practices, including:
Reduced Paperwork Burden for Staff
When paperwork is automated, staff no longer need to worry about filing documents or manually entering patient data. They also don’t need to track down missing forms. Allowing staff to focus on other more important tasks can save time and effort.
Frees Up Time for More Important Tasks
By automating certain processes, staff can devote more of their energy to the tasks that make the most difference. Rather than focusing on paperwork, they can spend more time providing exceptional patient care and building relationships.
Increases Customer Engagement
Automating appointment reminders and follow-up messages can help to increase customer engagement and keep customers informed. This can save time for staff as they don’t have to manually craft messages for each individual customer and it also provides customers with the peace of mind that they won’t miss out on any important updates.
Ensures Consistent Processes across Multiple Locations
Paperwork and messages that are sent out by a dental practice should be consistent across multiple locations. With automation, it’s easy to ensure that the same forms are used, the same messages are sent out, and the same patient experience is delivered - no matter which location the patient is at.
Allows for a More Efficient Patient Experience
When staffed with a properly automated system, patients will have a more efficient experience. Paperwork can be collected and updated automatically, appointment reminders will always be sent out, and follow-up messages can be scheduled ahead of time.
Turn on your Engagement automated appointment confirmations/reminders
As dental practices continue to increasingly use digital tools to improve the patient experience, appointment reminders have become an important part of confirming and rescheduling appointments. Appointment reminders are crucial to ensure that patients show up for their appointments and help reduce the cost associated with "No-Shows."

Customize your Engagement Forms & Consents
Engagement provides you with the ability to customize your forms to match your practice's needs. You can choose from our already available templates and edit them to your liking. You can also upload your own forms if needed.
In addition, Engagement's forms are 'smart forms' and they can auto-fill certain fields for the patient if the patient has previously filled out your forms. This will save them time and ensure accuracy.

Enable Review Requests
Positive reviews are essential for attracting new patients to your dental practice. Asking existing patients for reviews can be a time consuming process, so why not streamline the process with automation?
Engagement automates the process of gathering reviews by sending review requests to patients shortly after their appointment. This request can be personalized for each patient, allowing you to create a customized and engaging review request. After the patient has completed their review, the system will direct them to popular review sites such as Google or Yelp - allowing you to increase your presence on these popular sites.
