Dentally Hot Topics 🔥 - Effective recalls
Dentally Hot Topics 🔥 - Effective recalls

Hello Dentally Community! Refresh your recalls to boost your revenue and retention! Let’s get started 👇  The first rule of recalls – you don’t need recalls if you pre-book!  Recalls should be the last resort, not the first step. Getting a patient’s next appointment booked in while they’re in the practice reduces admin and provides more consistent revenue. Educate patients while in surgery, and finalise their next appointment at reception before they leave. What if a patient doesn't book their next visit while still in the practice? That’s where recalls come in.  Consistency is key - build a continuous recall workflow  A structured and deliberate recall strategy is essential. Sometimes there’s a temptation to only send recalls when your diary is empty, and the minute your diary fills up, your recalls come to a stop. This impacts average revenue and diary management, making it stressful and disheartening for your team. Be consistent and plan ahead!  Automate your workflows – and free up

Interview - What it's like to be a Product Design Lead at Dentally

Hi Community! We recently interviewed Matt Collins at Eclipse Dental Care to find out more about life inside the practice; now it’s time for some insider knowledge about working at Dentally. Take a glimpse behind the scenes as we chat to Product Design Lead, ​@Chris Behr, about what he’s working on, what’s coming up and what he’s learnt about Dentally since joining us just a few months ago.  Name: Chris Behr Job title: Product Design Lead Year joined: 2025   What are you working on currently? My role is split between two main areas; building our onboarding service out so it's easier to get started with Dentally, and helping the design team to work more effectively on problems. As a lead designer this means a lot of talking to people - customers, other designers, our onboarding and training team - so I can better understand the problems users are having and help to solve them.  What’s coming up at Dentally? We're looking closely at the Dentally interface and how we can make it easier to

Matt’s journey in transforming patient care
Matt’s journey in transforming patient careInterview

Hello Community! 👋We recently spoke to owner of Eclipse Dental Care, Matt Collins to find out more about his journey in dentistry. From a typical week balancing the demands of running a practice to the strategies he uses to switch off at the end of the day, see how your experience compares to your fellow dental professionals. Share your thoughts below and leave us a comment if you’d like to be featured! 👇 Can you tell us a bit about your practice? What makes it unique, and what are you most proud of? Whilst I feel we are not particularly unique, we are fairly proactive. I am most recently proud of our customer reviews. We get a lot of organic Google reviews and we have seen an uptick since adopting Working Feedback a few years ago. The patients we have clearly appreciate the staff and the interactions. This makes it all worthwhile as a practice owner. If you put the patient first, then some profit tends to follow. We obviously need to be profitable or we'd go bust, but profit is not

Optimise your diary with the practitioner utilisation dashboardAs a dental practice, keeping the diary full  is one of your biggest priorities. And here at Dentally, we understand it can be a challenging and time-consuming task.  That’s where the practitioner utilisation dashboard comes in. Practitioner utilisation, at a glance This new dashboard allows you to quickly visualise diaries through colour-coded blocks, up to four weeks in advance. You can view the percentage of a day that each practitioner is booked, making it easy to swiftly identify underutilised time slots and take proactive measures to fill it. From the main Dentally dashboard, simply click the dropdown in the top left corner and change it to ‘Analytics’ to find your personalised practitioner utilisation dashboard. The colours indicate how much of the practitioner’s day is occupied with bookings. The darker the block, the busier their diary is. You’ll also see an overview of your whole practice’s utilisation at the bott
