Dental clinics — booking system articles

Articles for dental clinics: how an online booking system increases revenue and reduces phone calls.

In dentistry the cheapest tier is not an option. General booking systems start at €7.90 a month, but they are built to keep a calendar. The category built for patient records and a Kanta connection starts, by published price lists, at €48.90.

Dentistry also differs from the rest of healthcare in that it gets compared on price. The cost of a check-up, whitening or orthodontics is looked up online as a matter of routine, long before anyone phones anywhere.

The articles below cover how the price is formed and why a symptom field does not belong on a booking form.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a booking system cost a dental clinic?

The tier built for patient record handling starts at €48.90 per month. General booking systems start at €7.90 per month, but they are not intended for patient records, so they cannot be compared directly.

Should the price list be published on the website?

Dentistry is one of the few healthcare services consumers compare on price before making contact. Prices are usually quoted as 'from', but a clear published price list separates a practice from those where none can be found.

How do treatments of different lengths fit the calendar?

A check-up takes about half an hour; a root canal can take an hour and a half. One fixed slot length leaves the calendar half empty or pushes the whole day late. Make sure duration can be set per service.
