The Problem
The hidden cost of DNAs
If DNAs feel like just a normal part of running a practice, look at what they’re actually costing you.
£100 / DNA
Every empty chair bleeds revenue
The average UK dental appointment is worth around £100 in production. Multiply that by 10 DNAs a week and you're losing £52,000 a year — gone before you even open the practice.
Idle staff, idle chairs
You pay the team either way
Your hygienist is paid whether the patient turns up or not. Empty chairs mean idle staff, idle equipment, and a frustrated team watching the clock tick.
Growth on hold
DNAs steal your future
Practices stuck managing DNAs can't focus on growth. Every empty chair is a missed opportunity for a new patient, a bigger case, and a better month.
The good news? Most DNAs are preventable with one simple change.

Dentists, practice managers, and owners on what SlotGuard changed for them.
“Cut our DNAs by 35% in the first month”
We were losing about £1,200 a week to DNAs. After SlotGuard, that dropped to under £400. The setup took less than 10 minutes and the team picked it up straight away.
Dr. James Whitaker
Owner · Riverside Dental, Manchester
“The waitlist alone is worth the price”
Last Tuesday a patient cancelled at 8 AM, and SlotGuard had the slot filled by 9:15. That's £100 we would have lost. It pays for itself — and our reception team is far better organised now.
Sarah Patel
Practice Manager · Surrey Smiles, Guildford
“Patients love the one-tap confirmation”
Our older patients were intimidated by apps. SlotGuard just sends a personalised text with a button. Even our 80-year-old patients use it without a problem.
