Dentists juggle packed diaries, treatment notes, and medical aid billing — all while making patients feel comfortable in the chair. But with admin often taking as much time as patient care, running a practice can feel like pulling teeth. Bookem brings your bookings, notes, and accounts together in one secure, South African-built platform, so you can keep your focus on your patients.

From routine check-ups and hygiene appointments to procedures and follow-ups, Bookem's calendar keeps your diary under control. Patients can book online for specific services, while custom rules let you manually confirm complex cases or theatre time. Recurring bookings are easy to set up for orthodontic reviews or multi-step treatments, and automated two-way SMS reminders reduce no-shows. You can also send automatic recall reminders for check-ups and teeth cleaning, so patients return on time without manual chasing. Calendar sync helps your team coordinate across chairs, clinicians, or locations.

Bookem automatically sends intake or consent forms linked to the type of service booked - from medical history questionnaires to surgical or sedation consent forms. Patients can upload X-rays, referral letters, or medical aid documents in advance, so every detail is ready before they arrive.

Document treatment plans, progress notes, and follow-ups efficiently with dental-specific templates. Record assessments, chart procedures, and generate referral letters in minutes. Dictate directly with AI Assist and let it transcribe into structured notes instantly. Notes can be shared securely with specialists, insurers, or referring practitioners, while sensitive records remain private and always POPIA-compliant.

Create branded, medical-aid-compliant invoices in seconds. Consolidate multiple procedures or bookings into one invoice. Accept payments instantly with Yoco or send secure online links for deposits and co-payments. Bookem's safeguards prevent missed or double billing, and every payment is reconciled automatically.

Track income, outstanding balances, and booking trends to understand demand. Built-in reports highlight your busiest services, peak times, and practitioner activity. Multi-location and multi-chair reporting give you the oversight you need to optimise team schedules and resources.

Bookem helps new patients find and book you directly through your website or online booking page. Campaign tracking shows which ads, referrals, or promotions convert into appointments, so you know where your marketing is working.

Whether you're running a solo practice or managing a busy multi-chair clinic, Bookem keeps your day in order. With streamlined bookings, digital intake, AI-powered notes, integrated payments, and clear reporting, you spend more time caring for smiles and less time on admin.
