As orthodontic doors reopen to treat patients, Dental Innovations wants to help private practices manage the new workflows that now include the ‘blacktop waiting room’ required by state social distancing guidelines.

Dental Innovations announced AutoLobby, a new “text to the car” service to help orthodontists re-launch their practices as they open with COVID-19 patient workflow protocols. 

AutoLobby is an SMS texting system that, for $59 per month, gives a practice the ability to manage patient staging in the parking lot, convey relevant information including brief videos to the patient, and send a text message when it’s time to enter the building.

“At Dental Innovations, we recognize that COVID-19 and statewide stay at home orders have materially impacted practices and staff teams. As doors reopen to treat patients, we are doing everything possible to help practices manage the new workflows that now include the ‘blacktop waiting room’ required by State social distancing guidelines,” says Michael Boerner, founder and chief executive officer. “We are excited to help practices return to financial health and delivering great patient experiences.”

Dental Innovations, based in Boise, Idaho, provides mobile-video engagement technologies without the use of apps, passwords, and email addresses. Its services include VideoText, Simple 5 Star Google Reviews, and the new AutoLobby platform.
