Dental appointments in the UK
that patients actually keep
Dentistry is a series of visits: hygiene, fillings, root canals, monthly orthodontic checks. Patients book from their phone, get a reminder before each one, and you see every chair at a glance.
If this sounds like your dental practice…
What we hear most from dental clinics.
The second root canal visit
Patients start treatment, forget the next appointment, and come back months later in more pain.
Monthly ortho checks
Dozens of orthodontic patients a month, all wanting the slot after school or work.
Chair time
A clean takes 20 minutes and a root canal an hour. A paper diary does not know the difference.
"How much is whitening?"
Half the phone calls are price questions from people who never book.
What is different in the UK
From private dental and physio practices in London and Manchester to independent opticians in Leeds, Bristol and Glasgow, missed appointments ("DNAs") are one of the biggest hidden costs.
Private dentistry
With NHS dental appointments hard to find, many patients go private and choose the practice that lets them book online at 10pm. A clear online diary is now part of how new patients choose.
Opening hours
Most practices open Monday to Friday with Saturday mornings, and late evenings on one or two days. Set your hours once and only open times are offered.
Payments
Patients pay at the practice or online by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Deposits for new patients are common and cut no-shows.
UK GDPR
Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 you are the controller and we act as processor, with a data processing agreement. The system stores name, contact and appointment only, with no clinical notes unless you ask for them.
Plans
Setup and monthly plans for clinics are on our pricing page, with no contract and two months free on yearly billing.

Try the dental clinic system yourself
Halo is a complete sample dental clinic: the clinic website, online booking, a "my appointments" page for patients and a clinic dashboard. Open it on your phone, book as a patient, then open the dashboard and watch the booking arrive.
Email reminders included, WhatsApp if you want it
Confirmations and reminders go by email at no extra cost and with no limit. If your patients prefer WhatsApp, messages go from a WhatsApp Business account in your own name through Meta's official platform, billed by Meta to your account.
Patients agree to reminders when they book, and every message has a clear way to opt out.
Try it before you pay
Send us your business name and Instagram, and we set up a working version in its colours and send you the link. If you like it, we carry on. If not, close the link and pay nothing. The final price comes in writing in pounds sterling before launch.
