Running a dental practice on BookAppointment

Patient intake forms, surgery/room scheduling and clinician calendars for dental teams. · Updated 30/07/2026

Dental practices use the same clinical scheduling building blocks as vets, relabelled for the trade.

Clinicians and surgeries

Staff appear as Clinicians and rooms as Surgeries in this vertical — assign appointments to a surgery as a resource so the calendar prevents two clinicians double-booking the same room.

Intake forms

Attach an intake/health form to new-patient or treatment appointments — medical history, medications, allergies and a signature — so the clinician has everything before the patient sits down.

Deposits for longer treatments

For treatment plans that take significant chair time, turn on deposits (all bookings, or flagged customers only) to protect against late cancellations.

Reminders

Use SMS/email reminders to cut down missed check-ups, with quiet hours so messages never land in the middle of the night.
