REACH MORE PATIENTS
Two software tools from Henry Schein One are DPS readers’ top choices for automating patient communication and creating mobile-friendly, easy-to-find websites
When it comes to finding a new dentist, the phone book is quite literally the last place prospective patients are likely to turn, with recent studies showing that 86% of people turn to online search engines to find local businesses like dental practices.
If that statistic sends chills down your spine, fear not—Officite, a frequent DPS Readers’ Choice winner, builds engaging and mobile-friendly websites in a way that caters to the unique requirements of each dental practice. Officite websites routinely get strong positioning on search engine results pages, which helps practices boost their new patient volume.
“I have received numerous new patient appointment requests via the Make an Appointment link on my Officite website,” shared Dr. Pamela Brennan-Clarke. “In fact, practice growth has been very steady, and we’ve seen a 20% increase in growth since we started using Officite.”
Keep Your Schedules Full
Once patients are in the chair, the challenge is to keep them coming back. Lighthouse 360 provides automated patient communication that keeps schedules full while saving time for the front office team.
Designed specifically for dentistry, a growing number of DPS readers are using Lighthouse 360 to automate repetitive daily tasks like appointment confirmations, recall reminders, patient reviews, and more.
“We have gotten to the point where if a patient is a no- show, we are actually shocked—it just doesn't happen,” said DPS evaluator Dr. Robert Martino, who called Lighthouse 360 a game changer that improved his practice almost immediately. "Our hygiene and doctor schedules are booked over a month out," he added.
