The dental profession is no stranger to challenges or the changing technologies that help deal with them. As a business, a dental practice may look well-run and profitable to its patients, but few think about what goes into the practice’s success. Nowadays, a well-functioning and innovative patient communication system has become a necessity for a successful practice.

Dental professionals know just how much work goes into building a steady client base, managing insurance billing, and hiring and managing competent, friendly, and professional staff.

Of these challenges, perhaps the most challenging of all is fostering communication with patients.

Patient Communication Challenges for Dentists

A recent study found that for two years running, dentists topped the list of health providers Americans want to see more often. Yet people also report one of their biggest dissatisfactions with going to the dentist is poor communication. Since improving the patient experience is good for both patients and your practice, finding a better way to accomplish goals like balancing appointments and reducing no-shows is a wise move.

Benefits of the Weave Patient Communication System

What is a patient communication system, and how can it bring value to your dental practice?

Today, nearly all dentists use the latest technologies in their practices, with digital readiness becoming just as important to dental offices as it has to other industries. A patient communication system helps your practice by:

• Improving your front desk staff’s productivity on the phone.
• Streamlining processes like appointment reminders.
• Communicating with patients the way they prefer, such as texting and mobile fax.
• Simplifying payment processing and patient reviews.

Dental practices, just like other professional service providers, can benefit from developing a digitally ready workforce. A patient communication system brings harmony to your practice and provides patients, particularly Millennials, with the personalized, easy service they prefer.
