Afterchair · for small private dental practices
The treatment plan your patient still understands after they leave.
A short video from the doctor, the written plan in plain language, payment options, and one place to ask a question. On your side, a queue that tells the coordinator who to reach today and what they have already seen.

Why plans stall
The plan is explained once, in the chair, in dental words.
By dinner the patient remembers the price and not much else. The spouse hears a worse version.
Follow-up lives in someone's head.
A sticky note, a vague task, a call that was meant to happen Thursday. Nobody can see what was sent or what the patient looked at.
Accepted or not, nobody knows why.
Was it the money, the fear, the timing, or did they never open the text? Without the signal, every patient gets the same script.
What the patient gets
Their visit, explained the way we wish every dentist did it.
Phone first. Scroll to walk through the page a patient opens from the text you send.
The doctor's message, in the doctor's words
A recap recorded right after the visit, with a written note underneath. The patient can ask a question from the same card.
The plan, phase by phase
Each step in plain language with fees and estimated insurance, plus a Read the guide link for every procedure.
Real results, from your practice
Before and after cases for the treatments on their plan, with a signed release on file. They drag to compare, or just scroll.
Payment options without the awkward call
Your financing partner's calculator, a monthly estimate on the plan card, and the three steps to get approved.
A clear next step
Accept my plan, Request a time, or Ask a question. Each one shows up in your team's queue the moment it happens.
Try it
The before and after slider, exactly as patients see it.
Drag the handle, or just keep scrolling and watch it move. Your team adds cases from the treatment library with a signed release on file. Patients only see cases for treatments on their own plan.

How it works
Record. Send. Follow through.
One sitting at the front desk, usually before the patient reaches the parking lot.
-
01
Record a 60-second recap
The doctor or coordinator records in the browser with a countdown, a mic check, and talking points on screen. The server converts every video so it plays on any phone.
-
02
Send one private link
Pull the plan from Open Dental or upload the printout. The patient confirms their date of birth, and the page closes on its own after a set time.
-
03
Work the queue
The coordinator sees who opened the plan, watched the video, checked payment options or asked a question, and gets the exact text to send next.
What the team gets
Follow-up you can see, not follow-up you hope happened.
A simple queue sorted by next touch. Every plan shows its owner, its value, what the patient has looked at, and the next step in your cadence.
Engagement signals
Opened, watched the video, read the PDF, checked financing, compared before and afters, requested a time, asked a question. Each one is a reason to call.
A cadence the team actually runs
Day 2 text, day 7 call, day 14 payment options, day 30 last touch. Editable. Each step comes with a personalized draft to copy into your texting system.
Coordinator accountability
Touches per plan, overdue work, unanswered questions and reply time, by coordinator. Transparent without being a surveillance tool.
Video versus no video
The report that tells you whether the recap is earning its keep: acceptance rate and dollars, with and without the doctor's video.
Privacy and control
Your patients' data stays on your server.
Each practice runs its own copy on Google Cloud under a signed Business Associate Agreement, on an encrypted disk, with nightly snapshots. We help you set it up. We never pool practices into one database.
- Patient links require date of birth and lock after repeated wrong attempts
- Links expire on a schedule you choose and can be revoked at any time
- Video streams only to a verified patient, never a public URL
- Individual staff accounts, roles, idle timeout and an activity log
- Consent confirmed before anything is sent
- Before and after photos require a signed release on file
We built this to make compliance workable in a small office. It is not a certification, and your practice remains the covered entity. We will walk through the setup with you and your compliance officer.

Why we built it
We own and run private dental practices. Our doctors explain plans well, and patients still walked out confused. Our coordinators cared, and follow-up still slipped. We could not find a tool that was simple enough for a front desk and good enough to put our name on, so we built one and put it in front of our own patients first.
Early access
We are taking a small group of founding practices.
Not a public launch. A handful of practices that want more touchpoints, a clearer picture of coordinator follow-through, and a patient experience worth talking about.
What you get
- Setup done with you in one working session
- Founding-practice pricing, locked for as long as you stay
- A direct line to the people who built it
What we ask
- A 20-minute call every two weeks for the first 90 days
- Let us measure video versus no video in your office
- Honest feedback, including the parts you do not like
Questions
Straight answers.
Does it send the texts for us?
No. It schedules the steps and writes the personalized draft. Your team copies it into the texting system you already use, so nothing goes out that a person did not look at.
Where are the videos hosted?
On your own server on Google Cloud under a signed BAA, on an encrypted disk. Videos stream only to a patient who has confirmed their date of birth. Nothing is on YouTube or a shared drive.
Do we need Open Dental?
No. With Open Dental you can look up the patient and import the plan directly. With anything else, upload the treatment plan printout and the reader pulls the procedures, fees and estimates.
Does it replace our practice software?
No. It sits beside it and handles one job: helping the patient understand the plan after the visit and keeping follow-up visible until they decide.
How long does a video take?
Most recaps are 45 to 60 seconds. The recorder shows the talking points on screen, so the doctor or coordinator does not have to think about what to say.
What does the setup session cover, and why is there a fee?
One working session with us: your server, branding, team accounts, treatment library, financing link and your first test plan. Founding practices pay $250 for it, standard practices $750. If you are not live within 30 days of the session, we refund it.
Is there a contract?
Month to month. Founding practices keep their rate for as long as they stay. If you leave, we hand you an export of your plans and videos and shut the server down.
