FAQ

Switching & Data Migration

Is switching complicated?

No—we handle migration and onboarding to ensure a smooth transition. For OpenDental, Eaglesoft and Dentrix we are able to convert over and match the ledger including insurance payments, adjustments and balances.

Will my data be safe?

Yes — your entire history is transferred securely and remains intact. We protect your data throughout the process and maintain full HIPAA‑compliant safeguards.

PRM Tool

What is the PRM?

PRM stands for Patient Relationship Management. In The Dental App, it’s the intelligence that keeps every patient and every opportunity for care moving forward. It connects scheduling, treatment plans, recall needs, balances, benefits, and communication history into one real‑time view so you always know who needs outreach and why.

How does the PRM help with revenue?

The PRM surfaces unscheduled treatment, overdue care, and recall gaps — then drives action with targeted reminders, follow‑ups, and campaigns that move patients toward treatment and reduce leakage.

Patient Records

Is everything in one place?

Yes — treatment plans, notes, messages, forms, insurance details, and communication history are centralized so your team always sees the full timeline.

Can I see a full patient timeline?

Yes — everything from first contact and treatments to payments and communications is viewable in one continuous history.

Pipelines & Sequences

What are Pipelines?

Pipelines help you track patients through stages of care — from initial contact to completed treatment — and make it easy to see where action is needed next.

What are Automations?

Automations are sequences that run automatically — reminders, recall outreach, follow‑ups, and educational messages — so your team doesn’t spend time on repetitive tasks.

Scheduling & Appointments

Can it reduce no-shows?

Yes — automated reminders (SMS + email), digital waitlists, and smart booking keep your chairs full and reduce gaps.

Can I manage multiple provider schedules?

Yes — live availability, drag‑and‑drop scheduling, ghost columns, and ASAP lists make multi‑provider coordination fast and intuitive.

Communication

Can I text and call from the system?

Yes — all communication is tied to the patient record so outreach, follow‑ups, and replies are tracked automatically.

Can I automate reminders and messages?

Yes — automated SMS and email reminders run based on patient activity and care needs to keep your practice on track.

Patient Check-In

Is check-in digital?

Yes — patients can check in, fill out forms, and sign consents from any device before arrival, reducing paperwork and wait times.

Insurance & Benefits

Does it verify benefits in real time?

Yes — real‑time eligibility checks and benefit tracking are built into the claims workflow so your team always knows coverage details upfront.

Can I track remaining benefits?

Yes — the platform shows current benefit usage so you can estimate costs and timelines more accurately.

Patient Forms

Are forms online and customizable?

Yes — forms are digital, customizable, and stored in the patient chart. Patients can complete them before a visit on any device.

Can patients fill out forms before arrival?

Yes—forms can be emailed or completed via mobile prior to the visit.

Treatment Planning

Can I build visual treatment plans?

Yes — you can create clear, phase‑based plans that present options visually, helping patients understand and accept care.

Does this help boost acceptance?

Yes — clear, personalized plans lead to higher acceptance rates and more predictable revenue growth.

Analytics & Reporting

Can I track KPIs in real time?

Yes — real‑time analytics connect directly to your PMS and PRM to show production, collections, AR, case acceptance, and ROI at a glance — and turn insights into action instantly.

Can I run custom reports?

Yes — filter by provider, procedure, timeframe, and other metrics so you always have clarity on performance.

Integrations

Does it integrate with imaging software? 

Yes — you can connect with SOTA cloud so your team can view images alongside charts without switching systems.

Can I e-prescribe from the system?

Yes — e‑prescribing is integrated and audit‑ready, streamlining medication management.

Do phone calls sync into the chart?

Yes — call records and summaries are tied to patient profiles for complete documentation.

Can I submit claims through it?

Yes — claims and tracking are fully integrated so you can submit, monitor, and follow up without third‑party tools.

Onboarding

How do you support onboarding?

We provide expert‑led setup, smart data conversion, reconciliation, and team training so your practice hits the ground running.

How long does it take to go live?

Most practices are fully operational within a few weeks with guided training and live support.

Can you migrate from any system?

We offer the most robust migrations from OpenDental, Dentrix and Eaglesoft—we’ve helped practices switch from other platforms but can convert less of the data.

Does it replace texting tools and CRMs?

Efficiency & Growth

Will this save me admin time?

Yes — automations for reminders, follow‑ups, recalls, and insurance checks cut manual work so your team spends time where it matters most.

Can it help grow production?
