Procedure consents, signed online or chairside
Consents signed the night before,
not in the chairSigned the night before, not in the chair
FlossBooked puts dental consent forms online for US practices: the patient reads and signs the extraction, implant or sedation consent on their phone the night before, or on a tablet in the chair.

You send the consents you use today: extraction, implant, sedation, root canal, crown and bridge. Our team turns each into an online form tied to its visit type. A patient booked for an extraction gets that one.
Signed in the chair
Signed before the visit
A link, the consent, a signature box
Where they sign
One consent, three places to sign
Wherever it's signed, the copy lands on one record.
Two days before Evelyn's implant visit, the consent arrives by text from your practice's number. Evelyn reads it on the couch, texts the desk one question about recovery, and signs before bed.
Some patients still walk in with nothing signed. The assistant opens the same consent on the office tablet, hands it over in the chair, and stays while the patient reads it. The signature saves before the dentist picks up an instrument.
Open any patient and the signed consents are listed by date, each a PDF stamped with its signing time.

Time to read it before treatment day
On your website
A patient forms page on your site
Plenty of offices still post a PDF that patients print, fill in by hand and carry to the desk. Our team builds your practice's site with a patient forms page: each consent and the medical history open as online forms, signed on the phone and filed with the patient's record.
- Nothing to print, scan or retype when the patient checks in
- No app to download: it opens on any phone
Questions
Questions answered before treatment
A patient reading the sedation consent at home wants to know whether they can drive afterward. They reply to the consent text, and the question lands in the inbox at the front desk with their record attached. The desk or the dentist answers the same day, well before the chair.
- Replies sit beside every other text the desk gets
- The front desk assigns a clinical question to the treating dentist
Unsigned consents
A nudge when it's still unsigned
Thursday's root canal patient opened the consent and closed it. The day before the visit, a second text goes out with the same link, and the appointment reminder that morning carries it once more. Anyone still unsigned gets the tablet at check-in instead of a clipboard.
- Reminders stop once the consent is signed
- Every consent and nudge has a Spanish version

Asked often
Questions about signing online
Tablet, witness and wording are good places to start.
6 questions
Can patients sign chairside on a tablet?
Yes. The assistant opens the same consent on your office tablet, and the patient signs in the chair before treatment starts.
Can a patient sign the consent at home first?
Yes. Booking the visit sends the consent by text, so the patient can read and sign it at home, days ahead.
Is the consent wording ours or yours?
It's yours, often checked with your malpractice carrier. Our team turns the consents you use today into online forms word for word, and updates them when you send changes.
Does the right consent go out for each procedure?
Yes. Each consent is tied to a visit type, so an extraction booking sends the extraction consent and a whitening booking sends the whitening one.
Can a witness or a parent sign as well?
Yes. A consent can carry a second signature line for a witness, and a parent or guardian can sign for a patient under 18.
Where is the signed copy of each consent kept?
On the patient's record as a dated PDF, also filed into your practice software. HIPAA-compliant forms, portal and messages, with a signed BAA.
