Example only, for illustration.
For years, the way specialists have built referral relationships has relied on marketing representatives — office visits, scheduled lunches, printed materials, repeated introductions just to stay top of mind. It works, but it's slow, expensive, and hard to measure. There's a better way to start a referral relationship and keep it running.
Staff time and budget go toward scheduling visits, driving between practices, preparing materials, and repeating the same introduction, month after month.
Every visit interrupts staff who are managing phones, check-ins, and the day's schedule.
An unplanned, mid-day conversation pulls the GP away from patients who are already in the office.
A card gets set aside. A brochure goes in a drawer. Neither side has a reliable way to know whether the introduction ever became a referral.
| The old way | The DentConnex way |
|---|---|
| A representative drives to practices for cold or scheduled visits. | A Specialist profile can be found any time, day or night. |
| Front-desk staff and doctors are interrupted during the workday. | General Dentists and staff review providers on their own schedule. |
| Printed brochures and business cards are easy to lose or forget. | Credentials, services, location, and accepted insurance stay together in one profile. |
| The same introductory visit has to be repeated to stay top of mind. | A digital introduction provides context before an in-person relationship develops. |
| Neither side has a dependable view of what happened after an introduction. | Both practices follow the referral from Sent to Accepted to Closed. |
| Referral details and follow-up are scattered across calls, paper, and separate messages. | Referral details, messages, attachments, and completion notes stay with the referral. |
| It's hard to know whether the relationship is actually working. | Specialists can see referral activity and recorded status changes. |
This isn't about replacing the relationship — it's about meeting digitally first, so the in-person relationship starts with referral context already in place.
DentConnex creates the professional introduction online, so a Specialist and General Dentist can begin with practice information and a working referral record already in place.
Credentials, specialty, services, location, and accepted insurance are visible to General Dentists on the network.
Compare Specialists by specialty, location, services, and accepted insurance on the practice's own schedule.
The referring practice records the recipient, request, and clinical details, then sends the referral to the Specialist.
Messages, attachments, and status stay together from Sent to Accepted to Closed.
Search providers by specialty, location, services, and accepted insurance.
Complete the guided referral form and send the recipient the request and clinical details.
The receiving practice reviews the Sent referral and can accept it; both practices can then coordinate in messages.
After treatment, the receiving dentist records completion and marks the referral Closed.
Referrals go both ways — Specialists can refer back to a General Dentist, or on to another Specialist, when that's the right call.
Join at no cost, browse local Specialists, and follow every referral in one place.
