Do you use Tablets with your Dental Practice Management Software?

In modern dentistry, patient satisfaction and efficiency rely on the right digital tools. While most dental teams already use dental practice management software, many overlook one simple yet powerful device that may alert both patient care and practice operations — the tablet.

When integrated properly, tablets improve communication, reduce paperwork, and provide a seamless experience for patients and staff alike. With DentalPlus, your dental practice management software works hand-in-hand with tablets to deliver a smoother, smarter workflow across your entire practice.

Enhancing the Patient Experience

Patients value comfort, speed, and convenience, and tablets help to assist with all three. Handing a patient a tablet rather than a clipboard immediately updates their experience. They can review and update their personal details, medical history, or consent forms on a clean, easy-to-use screen.

With DentalPlus, all updates made on a tablet automatically appear in the patient’s digital record. There’s no manual data entry, no scanning, and no risk of losing paperwork. The result is a faster, more accurate, and more professional patient experience.

Streamlined Consent Forms and Digital Signatures

Paper consent forms take time to manage and store. Tablets make the process effortless. Using the DentalPlus tablet app, patients can read and sign consent forms directly on the tablet. Their digital signature is automatically saved in their record, ensuring legal compliance and complete traceability.

This streamlined approach removes the need for printing and filing, saves time for both staff and patients, and reduces the risk of errors. Whether it’s a new treatment plan or a simple consent update, everything is securely recorded and accessible within seconds.

Easy for Staff and Patients Alike

A major advantage of tablets is their simplicity. The intuitive interface of DentalPlus allows both team members and patients to navigate with ease. Large buttons, clear layouts, and guided prompts make every interaction effortless — even for those less confident with technology.

For staff, tablets provide mobility and flexibility. Clinicians can capture digital signatures chairside, check recall information, or show treatment plans without leaving the surgery. Everything is accessible in seconds — reducing admin time and helping your team focus more on patient care.

 Improving Patient Management at Every Step

Integrating tablets with your dental practice management software enhances every stage of the patient journey:

• At reception, patients can easily update their details and sign the required forms digitally.
• In surgery, clinicians can present and capture digital signatures for treatment plans.
• After treatment, patients can provide instant feedback on their experience.

This real-time connectivity keeps your entire team informed and aligned. Every update made on a tablet is immediately reflected across the system, ensuring your practice stays organised, efficient, and patient-focused.

The Future of Paperless Dentistry

As the dental industry moves toward paperless operations, integrating dental practice management software with tablet technology is the natural next step.

DentalPlus supports an integrated digital signature that streamlines patient check-in and data capture. Staff scan a QR code to access forms or treatment information securely on the tablet. The responses and signatures are directly fed into the patient’s digital record, eliminating manual entry and paper forms. This feature enhances workflow efficiency, reduces administrative burden, and improves data accuracy. Overall, it offers a modern, seamless experience for both patients and clinic staff.

With DentalPlus, your practice benefits from secure digital consent forms and patient signatures, real-time updates across all devices,  easy data management and compliance and a professional, modern patient experience
