Revolutionising dental consent with clarity, confidence and protection – meet Dentistry Consent.
Whether it’s miscommunication or simply misaligned expectations, the process of obtaining valid consent can be fraught with challenge. But a new tool from the team behind Dentistry is planning to change all that.
Dentistry Consent is a digital platform designed to enhance clinical conversations, helping patients better understand their options while giving practices and clinicians peace of mind thanks to its secure, trackable documentation.
Patient-centred consent
How confident are you that your patients fully understand the treatment they’re consenting to? It’s a question that’s becoming more pressing as dental claims rise – and increasingly, it’s not poor treatment that’s at fault, but poor communication. That’s where Dentistry Consent steps in: a new platform that supports valid, informed patient consent by turning traditional paperwork into an ongoing, accessible, digital process with the patient at its heart.
Built by clinicians specifically for dental professionals, Dentistry Consent makes it easy to reinforce your in-practice conversations – ensuring patients comprehend the key risks, benefits, and options at their own pace, and providing you with a robust digital audit trail in the process.
Trust the process
The process begins as soon as you complete your patient consultation. Once your clinical discussion is complete, sending a personalised consent form from your dashboard is as simple as a click.
The patient then receives:
- A short, jargon-free video explaining their treatment
- A simple, structured quiz to help check their understanding
- A secure platform to review, respond and confirm – on their own device, in their own time.
The clinician and practice get a clear, time-stamped record of the patient journey from information to understanding – giving you confidence that patients are not only consenting, but are genuinely informed. Importantly, Dentistry Consent doesn’t add another layer of admin – instead, it works with your existing processes to streamline and strengthen them.

‘Brilliant concept’
Simplifying consent without cutting corners Dentistry Consent doesn’t replace clinical conversations – it supports them, bringing clarity, structure and transparency to the process. And it’s already being welcomed by forward-thinking practices across the UK.
Gary Dickenson, CEO of Cfast and Smile Fast, says: ‘It puts the onus on the patient and proves that the patient has understood all the different aspects of the treatment, the risks and the benefits.’
Implant dentist Dr Julian Perry calls it ‘a brilliant concept’, adding: ‘Dentists need to be embracing digital consent.’
Whether you’re an associate dentist, a practice manager, or leading a group of clinics, Dentistry Consent is designed to give users confidence at every stage – and help patients feel more secure in their treatment too.
