Patient Journey

We believe in empowering our teams to ensure they provide the best care and experience to all our patients. From the moment a patient contacts us with an enquiry through to them leaving the practice after their treatment, we have a seamless workflow that maximises your diary at every moment.

Within our head office, we have a dedicated contact centre that manages enquiries, develops leads, and creates strategies to convert past leads into bookings for your specialties and treatments. The head office team and the practice reception teams are always the first friendly contact a patient has with the Together Dental brand, working hard to fill and develop your diary.

We want both you and our patients to feel supported every step of the way, and through our hardworking support teams, we manage to provide this.
