In dental practices, chair time is one of your most precious resources. SmileSnap helps you stop wasting it by filtering out unqualified leads and ensuring only serious prospects move forward. Patients begin their journey by submitting photos and basic information through the SmileSnap widget, which you embed on your website. Once submitted, that lead is automatically logged in your dashboard, ready for review. You can assess candidacy before inviting them in, so you only schedule appointments with truly viable patients. Automation lets you send immediate, personalized responses via SMS, email, or even video messages — reducing lag time and building trust instantly. Multi-channel communication ensures you reach prospects in the way they prefer, improving responsiveness. You’ll also have tracking built in, so you know which leads convert best and which sources provide the highest quality. Because many SmileSnap customers report conversion rates well above 90%, your ROI can skyrocket.
