Specialist dentists: plan treatment over several visits

An implant, a periodontal treatment or orthodontics runs over many visits, each with its own chair time and the right gap between them: healing, lab work, adjustments. If patients book each step themselves, the order and spacing break. With Book, you create one service per step and book the visits yourself from your list, so the plan is laid out in the patient's calendar from the start.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations are examples: set your own according to the rules that apply to you. Use neutral names; they appear in patients' calendars.

When the plan is agreed, book the visits yourself from your bookings list in order, each in the service that gives the right chair time. First and last name are enough; with the patient's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each visit. Book doesn't send reminders, so those files keep each step visible.

Leave enough time between steps for the lab or for healing, according to your protocols. Booking only the next one or two visits at a time keeps the plan flexible: if the lab is late, you move one booking, not ten.

Orthodontic adjustments come at a set interval. At each visit, book the next one from your list. Group short adjustment visits at set times, such as after school, so they don't break up long treatment sessions. Slots of different services can overlap, so keep adjustment and long treatment times apart.

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Open public slots only for first consultations; treatment visits come from your list, so chair time never appears on your page. See the guide on consultations before treatment.

Notes appear in the patient's calendar file. When you create bookings, leave the note empty or practical, and ask patients not to write health details in it.

Patients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the visit from your list. Book doesn't email patients about changes, so tell them yourself. Rescheduling works across services.

Book has one booking page per business and no staff field. In a practice with several specialists, create services per practitioner.

Book doesn't store treatment plans or images, track lab orders, take payments or send reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
