Frequently Asked Questions
Does dental automation work with Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental? ▼
Yes. GoHighLevel with the SmartSync bridge, and platforms like Solutionreach and Adit, integrate natively with Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, and Curve Dental. n8n custom builds use the PMS API to read patient data and push appointment status updates back to the system.
Is automated treatment plan follow-up too pushy for patients? ▼
The cadence is designed to be helpful, not harassing. The sequence sends educational content about the treatment's clinical benefits on day 1, financing options on day 5, and a gentle scheduling prompt on day 14. Patients who decline are removed from the sequence. Case study data shows acceptance improves 22–25% with this approach.
What is the realistic revenue impact of raising recall from 52% to 88%? ▼
For a practice with 1,000 active patients, raising recall from 52% to 88% means 360 additional hygiene appointments per year at an average of $230 per visit — that's $82,800 in direct revenue, not counting the restorative treatment identified during those additional recall visits.
