Client portal for dentists

Patients ask the same questions about insurance, prices and parking. For dental practices that's a common story, and it's what the client portal is for. A private portal where your clients see their documents, status and messages.

Why dental practices ask for this

  • Patients ask the same questions about insurance, prices and parking.
  • Outstanding patient balances sit unpaid for months.
  • New patient forms get filled in on paper in the waiting room.

What it looks like in practice

Picture a family dental office with three hygienists and a busy front desk. A patient logs in to see where things stand, downloads the latest document and uploads the one you asked for. They don't need to email you, and you're notified of the upload.

How it works for dentists

Once the client portal is running for a family dental office with three hygienists and a busy front desk, this is the sequence.

  1. We decide what clients should see and do.
  2. I build a login with status, documents and messages.
  3. It connects to Dentrix.
  4. Notifications go out when something changes.
  5. You get it deployed and own the code.

Tools it connects to

For dental practices, I usually connect it to Dentrix, Open Dental and Gmail. It runs on Next.js, Supabase and n8n behind the scenes.

Questions from dental practices

Does the client portal work with Dentrix?

Often, yes. Before building the client portal I check your Dentrix account and plan, because some features depend on API access. If there's a gap for your dental setup, you'll know before you pay anything.

How is patient data handled?

For the client portal, data stays in your own accounts where possible, and each step only gets the details it needs. We go through your rules, such as HIPAA or GDPR, before I build anything, and confirm the setup with your compliance adviser if you have one.

What happens if something breaks?

The client portal sends you an alert when a step fails, so it never fails quietly in the middle of a busy week. You can fix small things with the notes I leave, or add the care plan at $49 a month and I'll handle it.
