— The challenge
SmileBook's patients only ever called — to book, to move a slot, to ask a question. Every change was a phone call, and a missed reminder was a missed appointment.
— Our approach
How we built it
Self-serve booking
Find a slot, book it, move it — without phoning the desk.
Reminders that land
Push and text nudges timed to actually cut no-shows.
Skip-the-clipboard check-in
Forms done from the app before arrival, not in the waiting room.
