Dental appointment request form

Reception teams in dental practices spend a lot of phone time working out why a patient wants to come in and when they're free. This form asks exactly that: whether they're new to the practice, the reason for the visit, a preferred day and time of day, and how to reach them. Urgent problems stand out in the list, so you can call those patients back first.

Opens as an editable form in your dashboard. If you're not signed in yet, you'll sign in or create an account first.

Tips for this form

  • Edit the reasons to match the treatments your practice offers, and keep "Something else" for anything that doesn't fit.
  • Use a conditional field to show an extra question only when someone picks "Toothache or urgent problem", such as where it hurts.
  • Add a short paragraph that tells patients what to do in an emergency outside your opening hours.
  • Turn on the auto-responder so patients get an email saying their request arrived and that the practice will confirm a time.

Questions about this template

Can patients book a fixed time with this form?

No. Patients send a request with a preferred day and time of day, and your team confirms the appointment. If you'd rather let patients pick from your real free slots, use Zotview's online booking system.

Why is there a consent checkbox?

Patients may mention health details, such as pain or feeling anxious about treatment. The checkbox records that they agree to the practice storing and using what they've shared to prepare for the appointment. Adjust the wording to match your own privacy notice.

Who is notified about new requests?

Each request is emailed to your account address and saved under Submissions in your dashboard. Add your reception's address as a further recipient in the form's settings.
