What your customers expect
Patients looking for check-ups, urgent care or treatment want to book an appointment.
An emergency path makes it obvious how to reach you right now, what counts as urgent and when you are available.

What to collect
The standard fields cover what a dental practice needs, so keep the form short.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do dental practices need emergency call-outs?
People in pain need to know who to call and when you are open. An emergency path makes it obvious how to reach you right now, what counts as urgent and when you are available.
Should we show call-out fees?
Being upfront about how after-hours work is charged reduces difficult conversations later. How much detail to show is your decision.
What if we only offer emergencies some of the time?
Say exactly when, and give an alternative for other times so visitors are not left guessing.
Are there advertising rules for dental practices?
Yes. Health practitioner advertising is regulated, and Ahpra publishes guidelines and tools, including guidance on testimonials. Check website claims against that guidance; this page does not give legal advice.[1]
