Dental scheduling software
Every system has an appointment book. The differences are in online booking, recall automation and whether either costs extra.
The appointment book is table stakes. What separates these products is what happens around it: can patients book themselves, does the system chase unscheduled treatment, and is any of that included? On the cheaper on-premise systems online booking is a paid add-on — Practice-Web publishes $119/month for it, Open Dental $75/month — which closes much of the gap to an all-in-one cloud product.
