Would you rather make a phone call or get a filling?

Seems like a no-brainer right? But here’s the reality.

Lena doesn’t mind going to the dentist. What she hates is trying to booking the appointment. Why? Because she’s being doing it by phone.

The last time she called her dentist’s clinic to look about a sensitive tooth, she spent ten minutes on hold before being told there were no appointments for another three months.

"Can I book for then?" she asked.

"You’ll have to call back closer to the time” the receptionist had told her.

She hung up, frustrated and with a headache building behind her eyes. And now that sensitivity in her bottom right molar? A full blown toothache that needs a filling.

A toothache on top of a headache.

Lena isn’t alone. Every day, people put off going to the dentist. Not because they don’t want to maintain their oral health, but because the process of booking an appointment is so painful.

Booking appointments by phone today usually involves:

- Automated menus, a long wait, and terrible hold music

- Anxiety of speaking to strangers on the phone

- Pressure to make a decision on the spot

Is it any wonder people put it off?

But what if booking a dentist was as simple as ordering a taxi or booking a hotel?

- Instant online booking: No more waiting on hold. Just pick a time and go.

- Clear pricing & reviews: so you know exactly what to expect before you book.

- 24/7 availability: Life doesn’t run on office hours, and neither should scheduling an appointment.

This is what it should be like and the best clinics know this. That’s why they’re moving away from phone calls and toward seamless, stress-free online booking.
