One of <\/span>the only practice management software to offer this capability,<\/span> Denticon<\/span> gives<\/span> dental practice<\/span>s<\/span> an <\/span>ea<\/span>sy way to stay in touch with <\/span>patients returning for more regular visits following the pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

NEWPORT BEACH, CA \u2013 August 2, 2022 \u2013 <\/span><\/b>Planet DDS<\/span><\/a>, the leading provider of cloud-based dental software, today announced the launch of Denticon Patient Engagement\u2014a robust patient engagement and communication capability that enables dental practices to connect with patients anytime, anywhere. Built natively within Denticon, the company\u2019s practice management software, the new capability will help dental staff work more effectively while boosting patient satisfaction and ultimately delivering better patient outcomes at a time when inflation is driving the <\/span>cost of dental services up 9.1%<\/span><\/a> from a year ago.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a <\/span>survey from Accenture<\/span><\/a>, patients are 70% more likely to choose a provider that offers reminders for follow-up care via email or text. When dental practices fail to meet consumer expectations, patients search for other providers offering modern communication tools. With Denticon Patient Engagement, dental organizations can more effectively support important patient outcomes via automated appointment reminders, recurring marketing campaigns, customizable announcement messages, and more.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are already seeing the added value of Denticon Patient Engagement across many of our KPIs, especially our show rate which went up 18% since our implementation,” said Randa Seif, Chief Operating Officer of CaliDental. “This has been a game changer for our operations both from a cost-cutting and revenue-generating perspective. Our patients have been telling us that they want to be engaged through a more tech-forward approach and the ability to text and email with Denticon has brought our patient engagement to a new level of success.\u201d\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dental organizations with separate practice management and patient communications systems lose valuable time and resources toggling between multiple applications. Denticon Patient Engagement is built natively within Denticon Practice Management, eliminating data synchronization issues and the need for third-party software. By bringing practice management and patient communications systems onto one platform, staff members can dedicate more time to improving the patient experience.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHistorically, dental organizations miss out on opportunities to increase production because patients aren\u2019t receiving appointment reminders. Or just as likely, patients are receiving incorrect reminders due to the inherent difficulties of syncing data across multiple applications,\u201d says Eric Giesecke, CEO of Planet DDS. \u201cNow, with many of our clients feeling the sting of the ongoing labor shortage along with inflation, eliminating administrative burden and enabling dental offices to engage their patients more effectively with limited staff is crucial.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
