Your Dental Clinic Is Losing
Thousands per Month
to Manual Management

CodeHunter Lab builds custom automation systems for dental clinics in the Netherlands — reducing no-shows, automating patient communication and connecting your practice management software. No generic software. No vendor lock-in.

Although we are located in the Netherlands, our main method of communication is English, as our tech team speaks English. However, we also offer and create websites in Dutch, since we have a specialist who proofreads Dutch content.

The Real Cost of Running a Dental Clinic in 2026

Last-minute no-shows and cancellations

A missed implant or orthodontics appointment means €150–€400 in lost revenue. If your reminder system is a reception call the day before, you are losing money every week.

Your team is an expensive answering machine

Scheduling calls, rescheduling, treatment plan follow-ups — your assistants spend 2–3 hours a day on communication that automation handles in seconds.

You don't know where your patients come from

Is it Google? A referral? Instagram? Without tracking from ad click to booked appointment, your marketing budget is a guess you can't optimise.

Patient reactivation is reactive, not systematic

Patients absent for 6, 12 or 18 months represent significant revenue. Most clinics have no automated system to reactivate them at the right time.

Your systems don't talk to each other

Practice management, accounting, marketing emails, WhatsApp — four separate islands. Every data transfer is a manual step and a potential error.

Treatment plans stall between consultation and booking

A patient enquires about veneers or aligners, leaves without booking and receives no follow-up. That lead is often lost to a faster competitor.

What We Build for Dental Clinics

We are not a software vendor. We build and integrate the systems your clinic already owns — so they work together automatically.

Automated Patient Communication

We connect your management system (Exquise, ISOS, Dentrix or any platform with an API) to WhatsApp Business API, SMS and email. Confirmations, 48h and 2h reminders, post-treatment check-ins — all triggered automatically from your calendar data.

30–50% reduction in no-shows within 60 days.

CRM for Patient Acquisition & Retention

We build or integrate a CRM that tracks every new patient enquiry from first contact to lifetime value. It knows exactly which marketing channel produces your best patients.

Full visibility from lead source to revenue.

Lead-to-Booking Automation

When someone fills out your form asking about implants or Invisalign, they receive an instant personalised response, a booking link and a 3-step follow-up sequence if they don't book. Without your team lifting a finger.

60–80% faster response time. Higher consultation-to-booking conversion.

Patient Reactivation Campaigns

Every 6 months, patients due for check-ups or hygiene receive a personalised message via their preferred channel. Reactivation campaigns for inactive patients run automatically on the schedule you control.

Consistent occupancy without depending on reception's memory.

Dashboard & Reports

One dashboard: new patient acquisition by source, occupancy rate, no-show rate, reactivation campaign performance and revenue by treatment type. Updated in real time. Accessible from your phone.

Data-driven decisions, not intuition.

Google Review Automation

After every completed appointment, patients receive a satisfaction message. Positive responses are guided to leave a Google review. Critical feedback is routed privately to the clinic manager.

Review volume grows passively — with zero manual effort.

What This Looks Like in Practice

New Patient Consultation Automation

01

The patient clicks your Google ad → fills out the 'Book Consultation' form → instantly receives a WhatsApp with available times → books in 2 minutes → confirmation synced with your calendar. Your reception only sees confirmed appointments.

No-Show Prevention 48 Hours Before

02

A patient has a 90-minute crown appointment on Thursday. Tuesday morning they automatically receive a WhatsApp reminder with one-tap confirm or reschedule option. If they reschedule, the slot is immediately offered to your waiting list.

Automatic Waiting List Backfill

03

A cancellation comes in at 10:00. Your waiting list system automatically messages the next 3 patients on the list. The first to confirm gets the slot. Your afternoon stays full — with zero calls from your team.

Treatment Plan Follow-up

04

The patient receives a dental implant plan. They leave without booking. Three days later they receive a specific follow-up answering common questions and offering a 10-minute call with your coordinator — triggered automatically, personalised by treatment type.

Semi-Annual Reactivation Campaign

05

Every patient who completed a hygiene visit 5 months ago receives a proactive reactivation message. Non-responders get a second message 2 weeks later. Those who book exit the sequence. Those who decline are logged.

Google Reviews After Every Appointment

06

After a completed appointment, patients receive a brief satisfaction message. Positive responses are guided to leave a Google review with a direct link. This works for every appointment, every day, with zero manual effort from your team.

Transparent Pricing — No Hidden Costs

Custom integrations, not templates

We build direct API integrations between your real systems. If your management software has an API, we connect it. Every solution is specific to your setup — not a Zapier template.

No lock-in — clear, predictable costs

Everything we build is yours. No proprietary tools that disappear if you stop working with us. Some solutions include an optional monthly technical maintenance retainer — always communicated upfront, no surprises. When we deploy a CRM, marketing automation or lead management platform as part of your solution, that licence is always independent, transparent and managed by us — with no hidden markup.

GDPR and AVG compliance by design

Patient data is sensitive. We build with Dutch data protection law as a fundamental constraint, not an afterthought. Self-hosted options available.

Long-term partner, not a one-off project

We get you up and running, go live and stay. Continuous optimisation, new automations as your clinic grows and direct contact with our engineering team — always.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dental clinic owners ask before getting started.

Does it work with our current management software?

We integrate with any platform that has an API or structured data export — including Exquise, ISOS, Dentrix and most modern management systems. We map your specific setup on the audit call.

Is patient data handled securely and GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All automations are built with AVG/GDPR compliance as a fundamental requirement. We can run pipelines on self-hosted infrastructure for total data sovereignty. Patient data never passes through third-party systems without appropriate agreements.

How long does it take to go live?

For a standard setup — appointment reminders, lead capture automation and a reporting dashboard — we are typically live in 3–4 weeks from kickoff. Complex CRM integrations may take longer.

Do you replace our current software or work alongside it?

We work alongside your existing systems. We don't ask you to replace your practice management software. We build integration layers that connect what you already have and fill the gaps your current tools don't cover.

How much does it cost?

Every clinic is different. We plan the project after the free audit and provide a fixed-price proposal — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. We'll discuss your budget and goals on the audit call.
