Dental practice management software for private dentists

Dental practice management software runs the day-to-day work of a dental practice, including the appointment diary, online booking, patient records, medical history, consent, clinical notes, prescriptions and payments. Dataforge brings these together in one system for private dental practices.

A private dental practice needs a diary that patients can book into online, a patient record holding medical history and consent, a way to record and sign clinical notes, private prescribing and a simple way to take payment. Dataforge covers each of these, so the dentists, hygienists and front desk work from the same record.

Dataforge is designed to be the main system for a private dental practice. During the demo we compare it with the software you use today, including any charting or imaging you rely on, so you know exactly what moves across before you switch.

Yes. Dataforge is built for private dentistry, so a mixed practice can run its private patients in Dataforge and keep its existing system for NHS dental claims.

Yes. Patients book through your practice website at any time of day, choosing the treatment, the dentist or hygienist and an available time. New patient examinations, hygiene visits and cosmetic consultations can each be offered as separate appointment types.

Yes. Each dentist, hygienist and therapist has a diary of their own, with the hours they work, the treatments they provide and the length of each appointment. The practice manager sees every diary together.

Yes. Patients can pay online at the point of booking, or pay at the practice when they come in for treatment.

Yes. A video appointment suits consultations that can take place outside the surgery, such as an initial cosmetic or implant discussion. The patient books it like any other appointment and receives a link to join.

Yes. Patients receive a booking confirmation and a reminder ahead of their dental appointment without the front desk having to send them.

Patients complete or update a medical history questionnaire as part of booking. Their answers go straight onto the patient record, so the dentist can review any changes before the patient sits down.

Yes. Allergies are displayed at the top of the patient record, so they are visible every time the record is opened, including when a dentist is about to prescribe.

Yes. Dentists write up each appointment on the patient record, following a template for that treatment, then sign the note under their professional registration. Signed notes are listed on the record by date and clinician.

Yes. Letters, consent forms, photographs and other documents can be uploaded to the Notes and Documents section of the patient record, so they stay with the patient rather than in shared folders.

Yes. A dentist selects the medicine, quantity and directions and issues the prescription as an e-prescription, without a paper form.

The patient can take a Dataforge e-prescription to any pharmacy in the UK, including one near home or work.

Yes. Dataforge keeps medical history, consent, signed clinical notes and prescriptions on each patient record, which supports the record keeping the CQC looks for when it inspects a dental practice.

Dataforge conforms to DCB0129, the clinical safety standard NHS England sets for manufacturers of health IT. Patient data is handled under UK GDPR, and every contract includes a Data Processing Agreement.

Yes. Sync Dynamics offers CQC registration support for new private practices, alongside setting up Dataforge, so the practice and its systems are ready together.

Pricing is set per module, charged monthly, and depends on the size of the practice and the modules it uses. A quote for your practice is given during the demo.
