What they handle
What a periodontal and endodontic virtual assistant does
Perio and endo offices grow on referrals, and referring dentists notice how fast their patients are seen and how quickly they hear back. Your assistant keeps both moving.
Fast referral intake
Referrals logged as they arrive, patients called promptly, and urgent cases booked into the slots your doctors hold for them.
Records and radiographs
Images, charting and notes requested from the referring office and attached to the chart before the patient arrives.
Perio maintenance recall
Maintenance patients kept on the interval your periodontist sets, including those who alternate visits with their general dentist.
Coverage checks
Eligibility, frequencies and history checked before scaling, maintenance, root canals and retreatment, so estimates hold up.
Predeterminations and claims
Predeterminations sent with perio charting and radiographs, and rejected claims corrected and resent with the right attachments.
Reports back
Consult and treatment reports your doctors approve sent to the referring office promptly, with the outcome noted.
Referral speed
Why the referral loop decides your growth
A referring dentist sends a patient to the office that sees them quickly and keeps the dentist informed. When a referral sits unanswered for days or the report never arrives, the next patient goes somewhere else.
Your assistant works the referral list every day, tracks each patient from referral to completed treatment, and makes sure every report your doctors write reaches the referring office. Our dental referral workflow guide walks through the full loop.
- Every referral logged and answered as it arrives
- Records in the chart before the first visit
- Reports sent as soon as your doctor approves them
Charting help when you want it
Periodontal charting takes many readings per tooth. If you want help entering it, a virtual dental scribe can record the values as your clinician calls them out, so the chart is complete when the patient leaves.
