WhatsApp API and CRM for dentists

Dental treatments take several visits and patients decide slowly. A WhatsApp CRM makes sure every enquiry, quotation and recall is followed up, not forgotten in a receptionist's phone.

Dentists use the WhatsApp Business API to reply to every patient from one verified clinic number, track ad enquiries from first message to completed treatment, and send automatic appointment reminders, 6-month recall messages and offers. ChatWaba includes all of this for ₹600/month or ₹5,000/year + GST, with Meta’s message charges at zero markup.

Why dental clinics lose patients on WhatsApp

  • Implant, aligner and root-canal enquiries need 3–5 follow-ups before a patient books, and most clinics stop after one
  • Meta ads bring leads, but nobody can show which ad produced a paying patient
  • Recall and check-up reminders are sent by hand, so regular patients drift away
  • Receptionist changes take the patient chat history with them

How ChatWaba works for a dental clinic

  • One clinic number: reception, dentists and the treatment coordinator reply from the same verified WhatsApp number, with each chat assigned
  • Lead pipeline: enquiry → consultation booked → treatment plan shared → treatment started → completed
  • Treatment follow-ups: scheduled reminders for quotation follow-up, next sitting and post-treatment care
  • Recall broadcasts: 6-month check-up, scaling and whitening reminders to past patients using approved templates
  • Offers: festive or camp offers (free check-up days, aligner EMI offers) to your whole patient list in one click
  • Android app: doctors see and answer chats on the go with real-time notifications

Ideas for dental WhatsApp campaigns

  • Free dental check-up camp invitations with a booking button
  • Kids' dental check-up reminders before school vacations
  • Festive smile-makeover offers for Diwali and weddings
  • Review requests after treatment to grow Google ratings
