Practice Management

hi,hope everyone is doing well.Any advice how to use dentally specially when we need to paid practitioner? how can i run the report?I’m so new in this software. Many thanks for your help.

Hi Community!We have recently activated recalls on our system. We have 2 problems that we need help to resolve, please:When patients are contacted about a recall, a letter is mailed by Dentally, with a charge to us. Our preference would be to send via email, SMS or if a letter is needed, for us to mail it ourselves as we have plenty of spare stamps! The second problem is that some patients are getting recall letters despite them having future appointments booked according to the dentist set recall interval - how can we resolve these issues? TIA

Hi, how can I get my API key for my practice for a custom integration I am building?

Im trying to do report on dentally for the actual amount of time spent treating patients. However, it seems that when an appointments is double booked ( like a family appointment where all members have one time for the appointment) then dentally does not calculate this accurately, and only allocates the whole time of the family appointment to the report rather than the time spent on individual patients in that family.  so the reports are inaccurate. This is a very important report so we can work out the actual time spent for therapists treating patients , as some of these therapists are paid on an hourly rate.  how can we work the actual time spent iand take account of the actual time rather than the double bookings time in the diaries?

Hi, I am a new small practice in my first 6 months and just working on building the patient list…..i was hoping to introduce a “recommend a friend code” for patients and their friend to benefit from a small discount.   Has anyone had any experience of using this feature or if it is even available? Many thanks,

Hi,Dentally currently isn't the most easy place to retrieve estimates that have been sent to patients, or to track version control, or comments etc. with it all being linked to correspondence is ok, but a bit cumbersome to have to keep clicking in,.downloading and opening documents to find where you were at  Surely there is a better way.... a full revamp of the estimates section is needed, with some form of database / record on creation so there is an index / relation to what has been sent,.ideally with version control as well. Is this on the roadmap, or could be added please? 🙂

Hi everyone! Apologies for going slightly off-topic, but I thought this would be a great place to ask other practice managers and owners what intranet platforms you’re using.I’ve developed an intranet for our team, but I’m having an issue that’s been bugging me—the ‘search contents’ function isn’t working as intended. This makes it difficult for our team to search keywords and find specific pages quickly, especially for FAQs. It’s become quite a frustration!I’d love to hear what platforms you’re all using for your practice intranets, especially if you’ve found one with a reliable search feature!Also, what tools are you using to keep your team connected for internal communication (Slack, Teams, etc.)?Any insights would be much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!

Hi All,We have sent a Mass Marketing E-mail to our patients describing some of our new services. How long does it normally take for this process to complete seeing as we are contacting around 8000 patients.Many thanks,
