Ominvo for Dental Offices

Industry Insights

Your patients Google you before they ever book.

In dental care, online reviews are not optional. They are the appointment before the appointment — and most practices have no idea what theirs are saying.

specifically use Google reviews when choosing a dentist

Google is not one option among many for dental patients. It is the option. Your Google profile is your front door.

Dentaly.org Consumer Survey, 2023

70%

filter out practices below 4 stars

Seven out of ten potential patients never even read your reviews if your average drops below 4.0. They have already moved on.

63%

of patients who left a review never heard back

Every unanswered review tells the next patient reading it that no one is home. HIPAA does not require silence — it requires care.

The fix

How Ominvo fixes it for Dental Offices

Catch the review before the next patient sees it

Ominvo alerts you the moment a Google review posts. Reply while the patient still remembers the visit — and before the next prospect reading it forms an opinion.

HIPAA-aware replies in your voice

Four AI tones built for dental practices. Replies never confirm a patient relationship or reference treatment details. Professional, warm, compliant. One click to post.

Stars become bookings

Practices that respond consistently see star averages climb. A higher average puts you above the 4-star filter — in front of the 70% of patients who would have ruled you out.

Every unanswered review is a patient who chose someone else.

Built for dental practices — every Google review answered without lifting a finger. Meta, Trustpilot, and Yelp next.
