Dental Practice

When to activate

• You run a solo or small group dental practice and the front desk is drowning in operational follow-up
• Recall scheduling has fallen behind — patients who should be on a 6-month cadence are at 9+ months without booking
• Treatment plan acceptance is below 50% and you want a structured follow-up sequence for unaccepted plans
• Insurance verification eats 4-8 hours per week of front-desk time
• You're launching a new service (clear aligners, sleep dentistry, cosmetic) and need patient education and outreach copy

When NOT to use

• You have a dedicated office manager or practice administrator who already owns these workflows efficiently
• Your PMS (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental) already runs a robust automated recall and follow-up system that you trust
• The work touches clinical decisions — Claude is for the administrative wrapper around treatment, not for treatment itself

Instructions

Step 1: Set up your practice context

Say:

"I run a [solo / group] dental practice in [city]. We have [N] operatories and [N] hygienists. Our patient mix is [insurance-heavy / fee-for-service / mixed]. Our brand voice is [warm-and-clinical / family-friendly / premium / no-nonsense]. Our most common service mix is [routine recall, restorative, cosmetic, ortho, etc. — with rough percentages]. Our biggest service we're trying to grow is [name]."

Step 2: Run recall outreach on the backlog

The single highest-ROI dental skill workflow is recall recovery. Most practices have 80-200 patients who are past due on their 6-month recall but haven't been actively pursued.

Say:

"Here are 50 patients past due on recall. For each, draft a personalized outreach message that references their last visit date, the service they had, the recommended next visit, and offers two specific appointment slots."
