The dental practices stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

End-to-end dental practice ops — Cliniko or Dentally for clinical, recall tied to treatment plans, NHS + private split-billing, sterilisation logs ready for CQC.

01 · Clinical record

One patient record across reception, treatment, hygienist.

The same chart at the front desk, in the surgery, and at the hygienist's chair — no re-keying, no parallel paper file, no Word-doc consent form floating around the network drive.

  • Cliniko, Dentally, Software of Excellence
  • Tablet-first chairside notes
  • Consent + photo capture
  • Hygienist + dentist shared view
02 · Recall & retention

Per-treatment recall, scheduled at completion.

The recall window is set when the treatment finishes, not by a generic six-month rule. Crowns, implants, perio, hygiene — each gets the right cadence and the right channel.

  • Cliniko + custom layer
  • Per-treatment recall windows
  • SMS + email + WhatsApp
  • Lapsed-patient win-back flow
03 · NHS / private billing

Split-payments without re-keying.

Mixed-NHS practices stop running two parallel ledgers. UDA bands, private fees, and patient charges reconcile to the practice account on the same screen.

  • NHS BSA submissions
  • Dentally NHS module
  • Private fee schedule
  • Stripe / GoCardless reconciliation
04 · Sterilisation & CQC

Cycle logs, audit-ready.

Autoclave cycles, instrument tracking, and decontamination logs captured digitally — the CQC inspection runs from the dashboard, not from a folder of printouts.

  • Custom sterilisation log layer
  • iCheck Health integration
  • Per-instrument traceability
  • Audit export, one click
05 · Stock & ordering

Per-treatment deduction, threshold reorder.

Composite, anaesthetic, gloves, burs — deducted as treatments are recorded, reordered when the threshold hits. The cupboard is rarely empty, and rarely overstocked either.

  • Henry Schein API
  • Custom stock layer
  • Per-treatment cost
  • Auto-PO at threshold
06 · BrainBase

SOPs, chairside protocols, training videos.

The practice's clinical and ops knowledge, indexed and searchable from the chair, the desk, the office. New associate productive on day two, not week six.

  • Clinical protocols
  • Infection-control SOPs
  • Onboarding tracks
  • AI-assisted retrieval
Sample engagement

The mixed-NHS practice that cut no-shows fourteen percent.

Six rooms. One owner. Recall guesswork replaced with treatment-tied cadence.

A six-room mixed-NHS practice ran Cliniko for clinical and a paper diary for everything else. Generic six-month recall regardless of treatment, no-show rate at 14% on average. Three-week build: per-treatment recall scheduled at the moment a plan was completed, NHS + private billing on one screen, sterilisation cycles on a tablet, stock per-treatment. Six months in: no-shows down 14%, recall compliance up to 88%, CQC inspection passed without a paper folder in the room.

How we measure: No-show rate measured against the 2,140 appointments in the prior six months at the same practice; recall compliance = patients booked within recall window / patients due, rolling quarter; CQC outcome from the inspection report.
