AI Intake Forms for Dentists

Intake Forms for Dentists

Capture patient history, insurance details, and symptoms before they arrive. Reduce wait times, improve care.

Stop making patients fill out clipboards in the waiting room. HeyIntake lets new patients complete medical history, insurance information, and visit reasons from their phone before their appointment.

Why Dental Practices Need Digital Intake

The waiting room clipboard is outdated. Patients expect the same digital convenience from their dentist that they get from every other service.

Paper intake forms create bottlenecks. New patients arrive and spend 15-20 minutes filling out forms while your schedule backs up. Staff then re-enter the same information into your practice management system — wasting time and introducing errors.

HeyIntake modernizes your intake process. Patients complete comprehensive medical history, current medications, dental concerns, and insurance details on their phone before arriving. The data flows directly into your workflow, and our AI flags potential concerns like medication interactions or complex medical histories.

For general dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and pediatric practices, this means shorter wait times, more accurate records, happier patients, and staff who can focus on care instead of paperwork.

Illegible Handwriting

Staff struggle to read patient forms, leading to errors and follow-up calls for clarification.

Incomplete Medical History

Patients forget medications, allergies, or conditions that could affect treatment safety.

Insurance Verification Delays

Missing or incorrect insurance info discovered at check-in, causing billing headaches.

Double Data Entry

Staff manually re-keying paper forms into your practice management system.
