Online New Patient Scheduling | Dental Patient Experience

At LADD Dental Group, we are always asking one simple question:

How can we make it easier for patients to say “yes” to their dental health?

That’s why we are excited to officially roll out online new patient scheduling across our locations.

This is more than a technology upgrade. It’s a commitment to accessibility, convenience, and putting the patient first — just like Mary Ladd always says: “Put the patient first, and the money will follow.”

Meeting Patients Where They Are

Today’s patients expect convenience. They book flights online. They order groceries online. They schedule medical appointments online.

Now, new patients can schedule their first visit with us anytime — whether it’s 10:00 AM on a Tuesday or 10:00 PM after the kids go to bed.

For many people — especially those with dental anxiety — taking that first step is the hardest part. Online scheduling removes friction and makes saying “yes” to care feel simple.

Why This Matters for Our Communities

Across Indiana, including our offices in Westfield, Huntington, McCordsville, and beyond, families are busy. Work schedules are tight. Kids have sports. Life moves fast.

Online scheduling allows:

Working professionals to book during breaks
Parents to schedule after bedtime
College students to plan around classes
New residents to quickly find a dental home

Convenience increases access — and increased access improves oral health outcomes.

Designed Around the Patient Experience

We didn’t roll this out just to check a technology box.

We implemented online new patient scheduling because it aligns with our long-term vision:

Remove friction
Increase access
Reduce anxiety
Build trust

As a group that embraces innovation — from AI tools like Overjet to partnerships with forward-thinking dental organizations — this was a natural next step in improving the patient journey.

What This Means for Our Team

This also allows our front office teams to focus on what they do best: creating an exceptional, personal welcome experience.

Instead of spending valuable time on repetitive scheduling calls, our team members can:

Prepare thoughtfully for new patients
Verify insurance efficiently
Follow up proactively
Focus on hospitality when patients walk through the door

Technology should never replace human connection. It should enhance it.

A Simple Change With a Big Impact

Sometimes innovation isn’t flashy — it’s practical.

Online new patient scheduling is a simple upgrade that removes stress, shortens the path to care, and reflects our commitment to growth and accessibility in 2026 and beyond.

We are grateful for the trust our communities place in us. If you or someone you know has been waiting to schedule a first visit, now it’s easier than ever.

Because at the end of the day, dentistry is about people — and making it easier for people to get the care they deserve is something we are truly excited about.

Dental Work | Importance of Routine Dental Care | Preventative Dental Care

Importance of Routine Dental Care When I was in my 30s and a dentist told me I needed a few crowns , I decided to skip the expensive devices because of my meager paycheck. Besides, my teeth weren't hurting. Years later, I am paying the price in pain and costlier dental work . One of the damaged teeth that needed a crown distorted my bite, making a minor jaw-joint problem even worse. Unfortunately I'm far from alone. The price of dental care is steep for many people financially, physically and even socially, according to Marko Vujicic, chief economist and vice president of the Health Policy Institute at the American Dental Association. Vujicic said that the majority of emergency room dental visits were for infections that could be handled in a dentist's office. Overall, emergency room dental visits cost $1.9 billion yearly, 40 percent of which is public money, according to his institute's analysis of data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quali...
