FAQs
How long does it take to build a rota?
Once contracts and usual shifts are set as templates, Dentorb fills the weeks ahead for you. Most of the work is a quick check and a few drags.
What happens when someone calls in sick?
Mark them sick (or they can from their portal) and the live rota updates. Dentorb suggests suitable cover based on role, hours and preferences, notifies them and records the change for pay.
Can I set which room and nurse each dentist prefers?
Yes. Set preferred rooms and nurses for each dentist. Dentorb keeps those pairings wherever possible and shows you when it can't.
What does the smart analysis tell me?
It shows room utilisation, cover gaps and overtime trends, then suggests changes such as moving sessions, restructuring the week or hiring more staff.
Does it work across multiple sites?
Yes. See every practice's rota, share staff between sites and avoid double-booking anyone.
