ExperClinic is a patient communication platform for dental clinics. After every visit, patients get an SMS with two options: leave a Google review or send private feedback. The same platform sends six-month recall reminders, 24 and 48 hour appointment reminders, and a customizable reactivation message to dormant patients. 91 specialty types, including 9 dental.

What it does

What dental clinics use ExperClinic for

Three specific jobs that map to the way dental practices already work.

1

Six-month recall, automated

General dentistry defaults to a 180-day recall window. Six months after a patient's last visit, ExperClinic sends a customizable SMS to bring them back in for a cleaning. Runs every day, without your front desk having to remember.

2

Review requests after every cleaning

When an appointment is marked complete, a review request goes out the same evening (or the following day, depending on the time). Every patient sees the same two options in the same SMS: leave a public Google review, or send private feedback the practice owner sees directly. The patient chooses. ExperClinic never routes by expected sentiment.

3

Reminders that reduce no-shows

Two automated reminders per appointment: 48 hours before and 24 hours before. Both default on for general dentistry, both honor STOP keywords, both count against the same SMS quota as everything else. No surprise overages.

The problem

Why dental clinics struggle with reviews and recall

Three problems dental practice owners face every week.

Visibility

"Dentist near me" search rewards review volume.

Google's local pack ranks practices partly by review count and recency. A great dentist with 27 reviews gets buried under a mediocre one with 280. Asking patients manually never produces enough volume.

Recall

Six-month windows are easy to miss.

By the time a patient is two months overdue, they have probably forgotten they were due. Front desks are too busy with the schedule in front of them to chase patients who aren't.

Front desk time

Staff cannot chase reviews after every cleaning.

The most consistent feedback we hear: "We know we should ask. We don't have time." A platform that does it automatically, every time, is the only way the volume actually grows.

FAQ

Common questions from dental practices

Does ExperClinic integrate with my dental practice management software?
ExperClinic does not currently integrate directly with Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, or other dental PMS. Practices use a CSV bulk import to load their patient list and existing appointments, and add new patients and appointments through the dashboard or another CSV upload. Integrations are on the roadmap. Today the platform runs standalone, which is also why pricing is a fraction of what platforms with native PMS integrations charge.
Can I send reminders to families with multiple patients?
Yes. Each patient is a separate record with their own phone number, so families with shared phones receive one consolidated reminder per phone, and families with separate phones receive one per person. ExperClinic does not currently deduplicate across family relationships, but the patient list supports notes that staff can use to track families.
What happens if a patient leaves a bad review?
Every review request gives the patient the same two options: a public Google review or private feedback. The patient chooses. ExperClinic does not gate by predicted sentiment, route based on expected outcome, or filter patients in any way, which is both the right thing to do and what Google and the FTC require. When a patient chooses private feedback, the practice owner gets an email immediately so the conversation can happen directly.
How does ExperClinic handle the six-month dental recall window?
General dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and prosthodontics default to 180 days. Orthodontics defaults to 60 days. Oral surgery and endodontics default to 365 days. Each practice can override the default. ExperClinic checks every day for patients who are past due and sends them a customizable recall message.
Do my associate dentists each show up in review attribution?
Yes. Each practitioner is added as a separate record with their name, optional title prefix, and credential suffix (e.g. Dr. / DDS). The review request SMS names the dentist the patient saw. Reviews land on your single Google Business Profile (the standard pattern), but the SMS, the feedback record, and the audit log all attribute the visit to the correct practitioner.
Can I customize the review request and reminder copy?
The reactivation SMS template is fully customizable per practice (capped at 160 characters with first-name and practice-name tokens). The review request and appointment reminder templates are not currently customizable; they are the canonical variants the platform has tested and tuned for response rate.
Is patient data secure?
Yes. ExperClinic is PIPEDA compliant and built for Canadian healthcare requirements. We store patient names and phone numbers only, never clinical content. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Optional BAA signing is available for US providers under HIPAA.
