HealthyPracticeNow.ca was developed to help improve both patient health and practice productivity.
We understand how cancellations and no shows impact the Practice. We know how hygiene can extend Orthodontic treatment time and impact the outcome. Our patient knowledge and communication tools create systems to empower the dental team and patients. If your office would like more patients to book what they need, keep what they book, and maintain proper oral health at home, we encourage you to visit our site for more information and testimonials.
Healthy Patients = Healthy Practice
FlexCare Platinum. More innovation. Less plaque between teeth.
