Why we're modernizing dental patient referrals

The dental industry is years behind broader healthcare when it comes to adopting modern technology. While hospitals and medical practices have embraced advanced software systems, dental offices often rely on outdated processes that haven’t evolved in decades.

Don’t get me wrong, paper charts and referral pads work. They’re simple, tangible, and familiar. But they’re also relics of a time when efficiency and connectivity weren’t critical for patient care.

In fact, I recently spoke with a 33-year-old oral surgeon who mentioned that the practice he’s planning to purchase transitioned off paper charts only a year ago. Another 36-year-old general dentist told me that a practice he visited still uses paper charts—in 2024!

The current patient referral process? It’s a patchwork of referral pads, printed forms, and website forms that haven’t been updated in over a decade. The best “modern” solution for many practices is simply an online form—a system that, while functional, falls far short of what today’s practices and patients deserve.

That’s why we created Sindi: to build the future of dental referrals.
