12 Must-Haves For a Dental Clinic Office

Are you a dental company dedicated to providing top-notch dental care? One of the first contact's patients make is with reception, so staying organized and presenting as professional is key. Here are twelve must-haves for your dental clinic office.

1. Software

The foundation of a smoothly run office is using software to keep all of your patient information organized and detailed. There are many options to help you keep track of insurance claims, appointments, billing and more. Type in "dental clinic software" in the search engine to browse some options that would work for you.

2. Gift Bags

Patients will remember when you send them home with a gift bag, which increases your chance of patients returning. Fill your bags with toothpaste, toothbrushes and floss, and include swag that is branded with your clinic's name on it, such as keychain lanyards, pens, lip balms, calendars and mints.

3. Reception Desk Sign

Let patients know what to do when they first walk in the doors. Usually what is required is to check-in before being seated, so communicate this with a clear reception desk sign.

4. Comfortable Chairs

Comfortable chairs in waiting rooms are essential because they help reduce anxiety and keep your patients comfortable and relaxed. Also, padded matching chairs will add to the overall stylish decor. Take a look at some links in the description box for comfortable chairs you can add to your waiting room.

5. Appointment Cards

Appointment cards are important in a dental clinic as they serve as a reminder for patients about their upcoming visits and show how professional your organization is. These cards reduce the risk of missed appointments and ensure patients are prepared.

6. A Good Phone System

A functional phone system is crucial in a dental clinic office, especially a phone system that allows multiple calls to come in while maintaining organization. There are even wireless headsets you can connect to phones, todiscretely wear around your ear and keep your hands free for typing and administration duties. You can find the link in the description box.

7. Refreshment Table

Offering refreshments in a dental clinic waiting room can help create a more welcoming and comfortable environment for patients. Simple refreshments like water, coffee, tea, juice or light snacks - that won't get caught in their teeth - can make patients feel more at ease, especially during longer waits.

8. Decor

There should be a calming and clean decor. Soft colours like light blues or greens create a peaceful atmosphere, along with neutral beiges, grays and whites. Comfortable seating, beautiful artwork, and plants add warmth and a modern, minimalist design promotes cleanliness and professionalism, making the space inviting and relaxing.

9. Kid-Friendly Entertainment

Kids are bound to be tagging along with their parents, so make sure you're prepared to keep them entertained. Adding a kids corner in the waiting room attracts families to want to come to your practice. Decorate this corner with colourful decor and keep it stocked with books, educational toys and colouring supplies.

10. Branded Print Items

Keeping a similar brand look across all the printed materials in your office really presents well. Some of these print items could include having flyers, brochures and postcards on-hand if someone stops in to request information. Also branded name tags for your dentists and staff, gift vouchers, custom binders to organize your patient information and other similar items.

11. Outdoor Signage

In addition to the standard outdoor signage with your practices' logo, consider hanging a banner to inform people passing by that you're open or to highlight any specials or events.

12. Letterhead

All correspondence will need your clinic's name and contact information on there. So get a professional letterhead for your printer, ready to print receipts, surgery prep info, letters, insurance policies and more.

Hopefully these tips helped get you inspired for the must-haves in your dental office. A lot of the items shown in the video, you can find links to in the description box. Now go let your customers know their smile is in great hands!
