Automations for dentists
Failed payment recovery for dentists
Dental practices know this one well: recall reminders for hygiene visits slip through the cracks. The failed payment recovery handles it for you, between chair time, recalls and treatment plans. When a recurring payment fails, people get a friendly message and an easy way to update their card.
The problems it takes off your list
- Recall reminders for hygiene visits slip through the cracks.
- Outstanding patient balances sit unpaid for months.
What it looks like in practice
Say you run a family dental office with three hygienists and a busy front desk. A patient's card expires and the monthly payment fails in Stripe. They get a friendly message with a secure link to update it. They do it two days later and the payment goes through.
How it works for dentists
Step by step, this is what the failed payment recovery does with your patients.
- A recurring payment fails in Stripe.
- The patient gets a friendly message with a link to update their card.
- Reminders follow on a schedule.
- When payment succeeds, the sequence stops.
- You see what was recovered and what wasn't.
Tools it connects to
For dental practices, I usually connect it to Dentrix, Open Dental, Stripe and Gmail. It runs on GoCardless, n8n and Postmark behind the scenes.
Questions from dental practices
Does the failed payment recovery work with Dentrix?
Often, yes. Before building the failed payment recovery 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 failed payment recovery, 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 does the failed payment recovery cost to run each month?
Setup for the failed payment recovery starts at $250 while the launch offer is on, for dental practices and everyone else. Tools like OpenAI, Twilio and n8n hosting usually cost $5 to $30 a month, billed to you directly. I'll tell you the exact number before we start.
