Optimizing Inbound Phone Calls at Your Dental Practice

Last year, our vendor partner Weave visited our DPC Technology Center to teach our clients, like you, how to understand the most important numbers within your practice.

What is Weave?

Weave is a technology company helping Dental and Optometry practitioners increase and maintain their patient base by building stronger relationships leading to better outcomes. Weave integrates communication technology with front desk efficiency.

A lead Software Engineer at Weave, Quinton, and notable speaker presented to our clients and team on the benefits you will experience after implementing Weave in your office.

Quinton shared the number of practices that Weave collects their data from and how they collect their data. Weave collects their data from 3,250 practices, which is comprised of 90% Dental offices and 10% Optometry offices.

The total number of outstanding balances older than 90 days in a dental office is shocking: An estimated $171,109,832,67.
