What is Réduction des absences et annulations dentaires?

Dental no-shows and last-minute cancellations cost practices significant revenue and create scheduling gaps. Studies show no-show rates in dentistry average 10-20%, costing practices thousands in lost income annually. Effective strategies include automated SMS and email reminders, confirmation requests, waitlist management, deposit policies, and making rebooking easy. Understanding patient behavior — such as long lead times increasing no-show risk — helps practices implement targeted solutions to improve attendance rates.
