Online booking software for dental practices
tilkbook gives dental practices a 24/7 booking page that fills the chair without tying up reception. Patients self-book cleanings, recalls, and new-patient consultations while the front desk focuses on insurance and care.
Why dental practices owners switch to tilkbook
-
Phone tag eats reception time
A typical dental front desk loses 1-2 hours a day to inbound booking calls. A booking link reclaims that time for insurance verification and treatment plans.
-
Recalls slip through the cracks
Six-month hygiene recalls drive 30-40% of dental revenue. Without automated reminders, retention drops quietly.
-
New-patient intake forms get skipped
Paper forms in the waiting room slow the first appointment and lose information. Digital intake collected at booking time is faster and more complete.
What features matter for dental practices?
-
Per-provider calendars
Hygienists, associate dentists, and the principal each get their own calendar. Patients pick the right provider, not just the next slot.
-
Recall reminders
Six-month and yearly recall windows trigger SMS + email reminders. Patients click to rebook in two taps.
-
Pre-appointment intake forms
Medical history, insurance card, and consent forms are collected at booking. Walk-in time drops by 10-15 minutes.
This is a stub page. Writers will expand with dental-specific copy, screenshots of the provider calendar, and quotes from beta-practice partners.
Target: 1,600-2,200 words. Required FAQs include HIPAA boundary, BAA availability, recall workflow, intake-form examples, and at least one PMS integration question.
Frequently asked questions
-
Is tilkbook HIPAA-aware?
- tilkbook's booking flow collects only the minimum-necessary information at booking time. For the clinical record itself, patient data stays in your PMS (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental). A signed BAA is available on Pro and above.
-
Can patients book recall appointments themselves?
- Yes. Recall reminders include a direct booking link tied to the patient's preferred provider and last appointment type. Two-tap rebooking is the default.
-
Does tilkbook integrate with my practice-management system?
- tilkbook integrates with Open Dental and exports to Dentrix and Eaglesoft via CSV today. Direct Dentrix and Eaglesoft sync is on the 2026 roadmap.
