The latest Dental4Web update focuses on improving visibility, reducing manual effort, and making everyday tasks easier for your team. From clearer reporting to better communication and smoother performance, these enhancements are designed to support busy dental practices and improve the experience for both staff and patients.
Improved Reporting and Practice Insights
Several new and enhanced reports give you greater visibility across your practice without adding complexity. You can now review patient information by ethnicity, track prescriptions by provider or medication, and audit discounts applied across the practice. These reports make it easier to understand trends, maintain accountability, and support compliance, all from data you already capture.
Online Booking with Deposits
Patients can now pay a deposit when booking appointments online. This gives practices more control over appointment commitments and helps reduce late cancellations and no-shows. It also improves cash flow by securing payment earlier, while keeping the booking experience simple for patients.
Easier Management of Family Appointments
When viewing a patient’s next appointment, you can now see upcoming bookings for the entire family. This makes it easier for reception teams to coordinate appointments and helps families manage their visits more efficiently.
Better Patient and Guardian Communication
Communication with patient guardians has been improved, allowing messages to be sent directly to the appropriate contact using the preferred delivery method. This ensures important information reaches the right person quickly, reducing follow-ups and misunderstandings.
More Flexible Clinical Notes and Letters
Clinical documentation has been enhanced to support more detailed records. Notes now allow significantly more text, making it easier to document complex treatments. You can also include charts and scans in patient letters, helping patients better understand their treatment plans. Support for non-English text makes it easier to work with translated or AI-generated clinical notes.
Greater Control Over Fees and Security
New controls help protect billing accuracy by managing how fees are recalculated when fee levels change. Additional permission settings ensure that only authorised users can update fees, reducing the risk of errors and improving financial governance.
Smoother Performance and Everyday Usability
This release includes a range of usability and performance improvements. The system runs faster when working with large appointment books and contact lists, report descriptions are clearer, and logging in is quicker and more intuitive. Small refinements to navigation and system behaviour help reduce friction and save time throughout the day.
Built to Support Your Practice as It Grows
This update reflects an ongoing focus on making Dental4Web easier to use, more informative and better aligned with how dental practices operate. These improvements help teams work more efficiently, communicate more clearly and make more informed decisions with confidence.
