Better system for tracking estimates

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? 🙂

How to customise email signatures

Hi, what are the guidelines for customising email signatures to be more on brand and match that of our main email system, or ideally, will Dentally ever integrate with Office 365.for example as a mail relay so it's all handled in one place?I am keen to tailor the messaging and offers on the patient Comms as we send most of this out through Dentally to existing patients. Thanks

Adding call data to patient correspondence without going via Dentally mailbox

Keen to understand if and when it would be possible to log call data directly into a patients correspondence record without having to send it to the Dentally mailbox first which is what we have to do at present, or if this is being looked at or developed in the roadmap?We also produce documents that we have to dump then attach to patient records, if this could go straight in without a two step process this would be best. ThanksHarry

Integration with more POS solutions

I am pushing for our POS and payments provider to integrate with Dentally, do you have any more on your roadmap other than Dojo and Worldpay, and what could be done to accelerate this if possible?We would like invoices to show up on the till without having to be manually typed in for payment, with the line items matching the invoice.Thanks

What Intranet Platforms and Communication tools are you all using?

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!

Can dentally integrate with phones?

Can dentally be linked and integrate with VOIP phones? This would hopefully allow caller ID to be displayed, ie when Mr Daniel Smith calls the practice, with his patient file already in Dentally, his name would pop up on the display to give a personal touch.VOIP also can allow a phone transcript to be created and so when Daniel Smith calls, a text file would get saved under the correspondence tab in dentally when the call took place and the details.Is this possible, easily done?

Automatic Emailing Systems

Has anyone been able to find any software that is compatible with dentally to automate your patient report segments upload to the likes of Hubspot/ Mailchimp so I don’t have to manually upload CSV files every week/month?

Incremental updates for rota diaries

Hi all, It seems that the rota diaries api endpoint does not have an option to only request diaries that have been updated recently. Right now i have to run a full load every time i want to make sure my rota diaries are up-to-date. Is there a different method required to get incremental updates for rota diaries, or is this not a possibility now?

API treatment_plans endpoint parameters not working

Hi all, i'm trying to read treatment plans that were created between january 1 and january 4. Per the API documentation i call the endpoint like so:https://api.dentally.co/v1/treatment_plans?created_after=2024-01-01&created_before=2024-01-04 However, this returns all treatment plans. The first record returned has a created_at value of 2024-10-10 (today). No matter what dates i enter for created_after and created_before, it always gives me the same response. Am i doing something wrong here? Or is there a bug in the Dentally API?

Are you explaining your deposits?

We have previously instructed the team to explain all transactions, including deposits, to ensure that incorrect deposits are not linked when a new invoice comes in. However, they are frequently forgetting to unlink and match the deposits to the correct invoices. I would love to hear how you are managing this @Lesley Morgan-Barlowx

How do you ensure your practice is mastering consent forms and estimates? 🤔

Hey everyone! We know managing consent forms and estimates can sometimes feel like a bit of a chore, but we all know how important it is to get right. It’s not just about ticking boxes—it’s about making sure your patients feel informed, understood, and confident in their treatment. 💬 Here are a few helpful things you can try: • Go Digital: Are you using digital consent forms and estimates? They’re super efficient, reduce errors, and make it easier to track everything in one place.• Save Time with Cloud Storage: Digital forms are saved directly to the cloud, meaning they’re always accessible from the patient’s record. No more spending hours scanning and filing paperwork!• Make It Convenient for Patients: With digital forms, patients can sign electronically via the Portal or the Concierge app, making the process smoother for everyone. What’s been working for you when it comes to consent forms and estimates? Any challenges with Dentally or tips you want to share? We’d love to hear your t

Filter in Appointments tab and Accounts tab

Hello! We have been using dentally for 10 years and consequently patients have many appointments and payments/ invoices. It would be really helpful if there was a way of filtering e.g.In appointments tab being able to filter on WHO, WHAT & STATUS to enable a quick view of how many times a pt has DNA’d or Cancelled at the last minute; quickly view when pt’s last exam was. In accounts tab Invoices being able to filter on INVOICE, DATE, SUMMARY and Payments filters DATE, METHOD, PRACTITIONER. Also to have a date range shown option for both Payments and Invoices: last 3years; last 12months, last 6 months etc.Anyone else think that this would be useful?😊

Dentally chat and automation

I am trying to encourage the dentists to be up to date with clearing out reports. I would like to create a task that pops up each week to remind them. I would envisage that once ticked as completed it disapears until the next week when pops up again…….I am struggling to set this up as when I complete it immediately pops up as a new task. Which is not as I intended. Any help appreciated.

Perfect Day / Date Rate - how do you zone your diary for success?

With the launch of our new appointment search function, I’m keen to understand how sites are managing diary zones to make sure they're hitting financial goals while seeing patients promptly as well as keeping practitioners happy.I usually stand by the blend of the 3 P’s - Patient, Practitioner & Practice, by taking each into consideration you can achieve the perfect day across your practice.To break down the diary zones into its basic format I normally suggest starting with the below zone groups:- Emergency- Recalls- New Patient consultations- TreatmentI’m keen to understand what other sites are doing to Zone out the diary or what's stopping you from zoning yours out.@Lesley Morgan-Barlow & @Esther Egan I know you both have a great set-ups for making sure each day hits your targeted day rate to ensure success but what does everyone else look at when organising this space?
