Today’s dental payment journey can start long before a patient arrives at the front desk. From online booking and deposits to claims and in-practice payments, patients expect a fast, simple and digital experience, while practices need workflows that reduce admin, not add to it.
When online booking deposits, payments and claims sit across disconnected systems and fragmented workflows, it can create extra admin for staff and reduce visibility over cash flow and appointment commitment.
Tyro Health helps practices manage payments, private health claims and online deposits in one connected workflow.
Through Tyro Health’s integration with Dental4Windows and Dental4Web, Centaur customers have access to a more centralised way to manage payments, claiming and online bookings, without moving away from the systems their team already use.
Together, Centaur and Tyro Health help practices reduce admin, support cash flow and create a smoother experience for both staff and patients across more of the payment journey.
Bringing Payments and Claiming Into the Patient Journey
With Tyro Health integrated into Dental4Windows and Dental4Web, practices can manage payments, claims and online deposits more seamlessly, helping reduce manual entry and simplify day-to-day operations.
Depending on the services enabled, practices can:
- Securely take deposits and online card payments during the booking process
- Process private health claims for over 99% of privately insured patients1
- Generate on-the-spot rebate estimates for patients
- Receive next business day settlement for payments and claims
- Accept digital health cards, Apple Pay2, and Google Pay3
For practice teams, that can mean improving cash flow, reducing admin, and greater convenience for patients.
Supporting Online Bookings with Integrated ePayments
With Centaur’s ePayments and eAppointments, powered by Tyro Health, practices can bring payments into the online booking process itself. This gives practices a practical way to secure deposits earlier and reduce the time staff spend chasing confirmations and following up on missed appointments.
For patients, it delivers a simpler booking experience. For practice teams, it means earlier deposit collection, less time spent chasing payments or confirmations, and greater confidence in appointments booked each day.
Because ePayments is designed to work within the booking journey, practices can:
- Request secure deposits at the time of booking
- Support appointment commitment and reduce no-shows
- Set flexible payment and deposit rules
- Capture payments earlier to support cash flow
- Create a simpler digital booking experience for patients
Supporting Online Bookings with Integrated ePayments
The process is straightforward:
- The patient books an appointment online
- They log in or create an account
- They pay a secure online deposit
- They receive instant confirmation
This helps practices secure deposits earlier, support more predictable appointment schedules and reduce manual follow-up for staff.
Supporting Modern Dental Practices
Centaur helps dental practices manage the operational flow of care. Tyro Health helps connect the payment and claiming moments that sit around it.
Together, the integration gives practices another way to manage bookings, payments and claims more efficiently within the systems they already use.
