⭐ Reactivation

Bring back the patients you've already lost.

Dental patient reactivation is the process of bringing lapsed patients back for overdue care. Dentovox scans your practice management system for patients overdue for a cleaning or treatment, reaches out automatically by SMS and voice in English or Spanish, and reports the revenue each returned patient recovers.

Upload your lapsed patient list. Dentovox calls each one by name, in their language, explains why they're due, and books them on the spot. Zero staff time.

Why it matters

Answering the phone recovers tomorrow’s patients. Reaching out recovers last year’s.

That's the difference between a receptionist and a revenue engine. Practices lose a large share of their active patients every year to attrition and missed recalls — and the front desk never has time to call them back.

Frequently asked questions about patient reactivation

What is dental patient reactivation?

Reactivation is the process of bringing lapsed patients back for overdue care. Instead of a recall list nobody has time to work, the system finds patients who are overdue, contacts them, and books the ones who are ready to return.

How does Dentovox decide who to contact first?

Targets are scored by value and recency, so the patients most worth recovering are contacted first. Anyone with an upcoming appointment or an SMS opt-out is excluded automatically.

Which channels does reactivation use?

Two-way SMS and outbound voice, in English or Spanish depending on the patient's stored preference. Quiet hours are enforced and STOP is honored immediately on every channel.

Do I need a PMS integration to start?

No. You can start by uploading a CSV of lapsed patients — first name, last name, phone. Connecting Dentrix, Open Dental, or Eaglesoft adds automatic discovery of overdue patients and write-back of the booking.

How is recovered revenue measured?

Each returned patient is attributed to the campaign that brought them back, and the dashboard reports the funnel — enrolled, contacted, re-booked — alongside the revenue recovered.

Is outbound texting patients legal?

Outbound messaging is only appropriate where the practice has the consent required by the TCPA and applicable state law. Dentovox enforces opt-out and quiet hours, but consent is the practice's responsibility — confirm your own position with counsel.
