Is it a common problem for your patients to not attend their follow-up appointments for treatment? Maybe you schedule an appointment for a first-time patient only to have them never show up? When people live such busy lives, it can be easy for them to forget when their dental appointments are happening. Once the date passes, they typically won’t bother to reschedule, costing you a patient and money.
With effective dental scheduling, you can keep your patients informed on upcoming appointments!
It’s unfortunate, but many dental practices run into the issue of losing money because of the dental insurance verification process. Failing to send a complete or accurate verification form can cause hiccups in coverage, leading to lost payments from clients. Luckily, there is a service out there designed to help practices deal with the pitfalls that typically accommodate verification.
If you’re tired of losing money or dealing with the complicated process of dental insurance verification, keep reading to learn how a dental support system can make the process easier.
How many times has this happened at your practice? A patient calls intending to schedule an appointment, but instead of being able to do so, they’re met with a voicemail and not a human being. Instead of leaving a voicemail with their contact information, they simply move on to another dental practice who does answer their call.
New patients aren’t willing to wait for a practice to respond when they need to schedule an appointment. Take a moment to learn how a more proactive dental answering service can help!

Do you have a specialty dental practice that focuses on periodontics, orthodontics, endodontics, or oral surgery? Have you ever tried to work with a dental support team to handle calls, scheduling, or chart audits only to find out they don’t work with specialty offices? Unfortunately, many dental support teams don’t have the knowledge or expertise to provide these services for specialty practices, or they don’t deal with support services like handling doctor referrals or complex insurance claims. Dental Support Specialties is different. We are happy to help dental specialty offices, and we currently work with a number of specialists.

If you don’t know the answer, you need to find out, and Dental Support Specialties can help. We know that dentists are busy, and for the most part, you don’t have time to go through all of your patients and contact those who haven’t visited in the last six months. In some cases, these patients may no longer be in need of your service for a variety of reasons, but a good dental support team can help you rebuild connections with those patients who may just be waiting for the right call to reconnect. The Dental Support Specialties team offers chart auditing services to bring your patients back to the office and keep your patient data up to date.

When dental offices trust a support team to help with their patients, they likely expect very little when it comes to patient relationships. Picking up the phone, taking a few notes, and having one of the dental office staff members call the patient back isn’t really helping very much. At Dental Support Specialties, we do things a little differently. Not only do we offer actual scheduling assistance and treat your patients with the same respect and kindness that you would, but we also help dental practices by auditing existing dental patient charts to reestablish positive relationships with lapsed patients.

When you picked your dental office management software, you probably spent countless hours talking to sales teams, using trial software, and crunching the numbers, so you know the software you chose is the best one for your office. Then, your team spent weeks or months learning this software. When you decide to seek out extra help with your patient scheduling, guess what? The scheduling service uses a different software, and they expect your team to convert to this system. It’s more than frustrating. It’s a waste of time and money. Lucky for you, there’s a better option – Dental Support Specialties. We’re not your typical dental support and scheduling service provider. One of the unique factors that sets us apart is that we train our team to use your software – not the other way around. Even better, our team members are trained to use the majority of dental management systems, so they may not even need additional training to get started offering support.

We’ve heard it all before. Dental insurance providers don’t respond for months. You feel like your patients receive less time from your team because they’re so busy with all the dental insurance claims. Many dental offices today tackle these inconveniences by avoiding dental insurance claims altogether. Unfortunately, that’s not the best choice for patients either. Many will only seek treatment from dentists who take their insurance, and other patients will spend more time trying to file their own claims or lose money by not filing at all. There’s a simple answer that offers a win for your office and your patients – Dental Support Specialties. We offer full service dental insurance and billing support to make it easy for you and your team members to focus on caring for your patients while we take care of all your dental insurance and billing needs.

There are many companies that offer billing services, but only the Dental Support Specialties team promises to get you the money you’re owed while treating your patients with respect and building positive relationships with dental insurance providers.
