Build and approve a treatment plan.

A treatment plan groups planned procedures with their fees and totals, shows who prepared it, and carries an approval status (here a green tick for an approved plan) plus sign and print actions.

A treatment plan turns a set of planned procedures into a single, presentable proposal for the patient — itemised, priced and totalled — that you can get approved and then work through. It is how you communicate “here is what we recommend, and what it costs” clearly and professionally.

How to create a treatment plan

  1. First, plan the procedures you want to include by selecting teeth on the tooth chart and adding them (they appear under Planned Procedures).
  2. Open the Treatment Plans tab and click Add Treatment Plan (the +).
  3. Give the plan a name (for example “Phase 1 – Restore & Extract”), tick the procedures to include, add a remark if useful, and save.

The saved plan lists each procedure with its tooth, fee, discount and amount, shows a grand total, and records who prepared it.

Getting the plan approved

Plans carry an approval status so everyone knows where consent stands:

  • Planning — still being drafted.
  • Send for approval on mobile — push the plan to the patient to approve on their phone.
  • Self approved — approved at the chair (for example, verbally in the surgery).
  • Approved on mobile by patient — the patient approved it digitally.
  • Disapprove — the patient declined.

An approved plan is marked with a green tick. You can also sign and print the plan for your records or to hand to the patient.

Editing a plan

You can rename a plan, add or remove procedures, or delete the plan entirely. Removing a procedure from a plan does not delete the procedure itself — it simply takes it out of that plan.
