Dental Booking Software for Practices and Hygienists

At checkout, the front desk sets the next cleaning while the customer is still in the chair, weeks or months out, and it sits on the calendar from that moment on. When a toothache calls in the same morning, that day is already full of visits booked that far ahead, and the emergency has to be found room inside it. Each staff calendar shows where a dentist or hygienist has space, and if a booking needs to move to make room, it's rescheduled to another time rather than canceled and rebuilt, and the dentist or hygienist seeing that appointment next is notified it moved.

A routine cleaning, a filling and an exam for a same-day problem don't take the same time, and a schedule built out of one slot size either wastes the cleaning's back half or runs the filling long. Set each up as its own service with its own length, so a customer booking online picks the visit they actually need. Add a break between bookings too, which matters most on a day built from short visits stacked close together.

A cleaning is usually the hygienist's morning, and a filling or an exam is the dentist's. Give each of them their own shifts and their own calendar, so the practice runs on one schedule instead of two people's diaries that have to be reconciled by hand. From the admin panel, the front desk sees who's in and where the day has room, whether that's for a routine visit or one that just called in.

Put the booking widget on the practice website with a script tag, and a customer can set their next cleaning without calling during business hours. Works with Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, Weebly and other site builders. If there's no website yet, a standalone kiwilaunch booking page with your own domain does the same job, and the link goes in a message, an email, or the practice's social pages.

The kiwilaunch iOS app keeps the day's calendar, your customers, their bookings and their payments on the phone that's already in a pocket at the front desk. See who's booked for a cleaning, who's in for a filling, and who still owes for an add-on like whitening, and take a card at checkout with Tap to Pay on iPhone, no reader to buy or keep charged.
