Cancellations have devastating effects on a dental practice’s growth

It goes without saying that cancellations cause chaos. Phones ringing off the line, frustrated clinicians, and inflated overhead costs are just some of the things to expect if your patients are regularly canceling. 

A recent study determined that 10% of all dental appointments are canceled. At an average dental practice production per hour of $400, even one cancellation of a 60-minute appointment per day can have devastating effects on a dental practice’s growth. We did some quick math for you:

Most dental practices have more than a single one-hour appointment cancel each day, so this is the low end of lost annual revenue from cancellations. Long story short, if you’re not getting these patients back on your schedule, your practice is leaving money on the table. But don’t worry, we are here to help.
