How to Reactivate Past Dental Patients (and Fill Gaps)

Start with patients you already have

Reactivating a lapsed patient costs a fraction of acquiring a stranger, and the trust already exists. Many clinics leave this revenue untouched simply because no one has time to chase it.

How reactivation works

• Identify patients overdue for a recall or who lapsed.
• Send automated, friendly reminders across text and email.
• Re-engage old inquiries who never booked.
• Make rebooking a one-tap action.

Make it ongoing, not a one-off

Recall and reactivation should run continuously in the background, so patients are steadily brought back rather than in occasional manual pushes.
