One Platform for Patient Communication, Reviews & Marketing.
The average dental practice pays for 4–6 separate software tools: a practice management system, a review tool (Podium ~$300/month), a patient communication platform (Weave ~$400/month), a separate email marketing tool, and sometimes a funnel or landing page builder for new patient campaigns.
GoHighLevel at $97–$297/month replaces the review tool, patient communication platform, email marketing tool, and campaign builder — in one unified dashboard. The savings are immediate, and the automated workflows outperform the standalone tools they replace.
Dental marketing agencies across North America now offer GoHighLevel as a white-label “Dental Marketing OS” — charging $200–$500/month per dental client while paying $297/month for their unlimited GHL plan. The margin is exceptional. See how agencies do this in our SaaS Mode guide.
The 6 Workflows Every Dental Practice Needs
Appointment Reminder Sequences
Send SMS reminders at 48 hours, 24 hours, and 2 hours before each appointment. Patients confirm by replying “YES” or request reschedule. Reduces no-shows by 40–60% compared to phone call reminders only.
Post-Visit Review Requests
4 hours after an appointment, GHL sends a personalized “How was your visit?” SMS with a direct Google review link. A follow-up email goes out 48 hours later. Most dental offices see 10–20 new reviews per month on autopilot.
Recall & Reactivation Campaigns
6-month cleaning recalls sent automatically to patients due for their next appointment. Reactivation campaigns for patients who haven’t visited in 12+ months. Both workflows typically generate 15–30 booked appointments per campaign.
New Patient Welcome Sequence
When a new patient schedules, they receive a welcome email with forms link, office location, parking info, and what to expect. Day-before reminder with the provider’s name. Reduces anxiety and first-appointment cancellations.
2-Way SMS Inbox
Replace your front desk phone tag with a shared team SMS inbox. Patients text your practice number and any team member can respond from the GHL app. Far faster than voicemail + callback.
New Patient Funnel
Build a “New Patient Special” landing page with an online booking form. Run Facebook or Google ads to this page. New patient leads auto-enter the CRM and receive an instant confirmation + appointment booking link.
Setup Guide: GHL for Dental Practices
How to get your dental practice fully running on GoHighLevel in one week.
Import Patient Contacts
Export your patient list from your practice management software (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental) as a CSV. Import into your GHL sub-account. Tag contacts by last visit date, provider, and treatment history. This becomes your living patient database in GHL.
Connect Your Practice Phone Number
Port your existing practice number to GHL’s LC-Phone system, or buy a new dedicated number. All incoming texts and calls route to the GHL mobile app, creating a shared team inbox that the entire front desk team can see and respond to.
Build Appointment Reminder Workflows
Create a workflow triggered by “Appointment Confirmed.” Set delays: 48-hour SMS, 24-hour email, 2-hour SMS. Add a confirmation check: if patient doesn’t reply to 24-hour message, send an additional call task to the front desk. Activate for all upcoming appointments.
Set Up Review Request Automation
Create a workflow triggered when an appointment is marked “Completed.” Wait 4 hours, then send SMS: “Thanks for visiting [Practice Name] today! If you have 30 seconds, a Google review means the world to us: [link].” Send email follow-up at T+48hrs. This one workflow is worth hundreds of dollars monthly in reputation value.
Launch Your Recall Campaign
Filter contacts with last visit date 6+ months ago. Build a workflow: Day 1 SMS recall reminder, Day 4 email, Day 10 final SMS. Include a direct booking link in every message. Run this campaign monthly to reactivate lapsed patients — most practices see $3,000–$8,000 in booked treatment per campaign run.
