Switch Your Dental Practice Management Software in 5 Simple Steps

Switching practice management software can feel daunting for any dental practice, and even more so when you have used the same system for years. But as painful as change can be, it is not as painful as being stuck with a system that no longer works for you.

There will always be a learning curve. Still, the transition can quickly pay off in efficiency, cost savings, streamlined workflows, and better patient care and experience. And the sooner you switch, the sooner those benefits start.

Below: why practices switch to Novadontics, and exactly what to expect from onboarding.

Why Switch to Novadontics?

Running the day-to-day business of a dental practice can feel overwhelming, and it is fair to wonder how you could possibly find the time to start over with new software. With Novadontics, that small time investment is quickly rewarded with daily time and cost savings, because one all-in-one platform manages everything from marketing and the front office to patient care and business analysis.

Keep Your Practice Running Smoothly

Novadontics has the tools you need to keep the front office running efficiently, all integrated directly in the platform:

• An easily customizable Appointment Book
• Intuitive Clinical Notes
• A cloud-based X-ray and CT Scan module
• A Dashboard and Reports module that show valuable practice data at a glance
• Nova SharedCare, which lets you share selected patient records with another provider in a HIPAA-compliant environment in a few clicks

Make Your Patients Smile with Convenient Care Options

Novadontics makes managing appointments and patient information easy for patients and staff alike, with:

• Automated Appointment and Recall Reminders
• Online New Patient Registration and HIPAA-Compliant Patient Forms

Help Your Practice Grow

Novadontics has partnered with Care Pulse, an online dental appointment booking app fully integrated with the practice management system. New patients can quickly find you and book online, and when they book through Care Pulse, the slot is filled automatically in your appointment book.

Provide Exceptional Patient Care

Novadontics gives you access to expert knowledge through:

Improve Your Bottom Line

Whether you are buying daily supplies or investing in capital equipment, the Novadontics Integrated Marketplace offers group-rate discounts that can have a significant impact on your bottom line. Novadontics has partnered with prominent, reputable manufacturers and suppliers to offer special discounts on high-quality products.

What the Switch Gets You

The payoff is the reason to start. Once you are live, the transition can pay dividends in four areas:

• Efficiency, with scheduling, clinical notes, imaging, and reporting in one platform instead of several
• Cost savings, from daily time savings and group-rate Marketplace discounts
• Streamlined workflows, with patient reminders, forms, and payments automated
• Better patient care and experience, backed by checklists, expert consultation, and continuing education

One platform to run your practice. One team to help you get there.

A Quick Switching Checklist

Use this list to plan your own move:

• Get ready for the kick-off. A Novadontics support team member will reach out to your front office team, so decide who on your team will take that call.
• Confirm your current system. Note which practice management software you use today so the data conversion can be planned.
• Block the 2-hour onboarding session. This is where your practice settings get entered.
• Hold the weekly meetings. Keep training on the calendar until your team is comfortable.
• Plan the cutover. Go live once training is done and recent data has been brought across.
