Online booking for dental practices
Marchlight takes appointments online for dental practices, and sends reminders so fewer of them are missed. It costs $39 a month for the whole business, however many staff you have.
What a missed appointment costs a dental practice
Hygiene and check-up recalls are the appointments most likely to quietly drop away when rebooking means a phone call.
An illustration, with the assumptions shown. 50 appointments a week at $100 each, with 7% not turning up, is $350 a week, or $18,200 a year. Put your own numbers into the no-show calculator.
Most missed appointments are forgotten, not cancelled on purpose. A confirmation, then a reminder 24 hours and 2 hours before with a link to move the slot, recovers many of them. We cannot promise a specific reduction for your business.
How it works for dental practices
- Check-ups, hygiene and longer treatment visits each have their own duration.
- Reminders go out 24 hours and 2 hours before, with a link to move the visit.
- It is a diary and reminder system, not a patient record system, so it sits alongside your clinical software.
Add one line of code to the website you already have, or send customers to a booking page we host. Setup takes about two working days from your rota.
