Attention Australian users 🇦🇺 - Dentally is moving to local servers

Clayton avatar
Shared by Clayton • May 28, 2025

To better serve our Australian customers, Dentally is upgrading its infrastructure. On 21 July 2025, we will migrate all Dentally AU users from our UK-based servers to a new dedicated environment hosted in Sydney 🎉 This change provides the same reliable, secure platform - built specifically for Australian practices like yours!

Further benefits include:

Upgrade to our servers - all practice data will be hosted within Australia, fully compliant to all regional regulatory requirements.

Improved performance – enjoy fast load times and seamless everyday use, now powered by local Australian servers.

Complete security and reliability – maintained through a robust, locally managed infrastructure tailored for Australian users.

To ensure a smooth transition, please complete the following before 21 July 2025:

✅ Update any saved bookmarks to the new app login page: app.apac.dentally.com - We will let you know when you can start using the new URL! If you switch to the new one now you may loose access to features like Dentally Vision so be sure to only switch AFTER we have notified you.

✅ Update all API integrations, including Zapier, to use the new endpoint: api.apac.dentally.com

✅ If you have firewall rules, review and update them to allow access to the new domains listed above – contact IT support for help with this.
✅Ensure you are using the new Concierge app instead of the iPad app.

✅ If you use the Dentally Portal Admin Dashboard, update any saved URLs

👉 Download your full migration checklist here.

What to expect on 21 July:

From 21 July 2025, you MUST be using the new URLs to access Dentally.

🚀 URL to use when logging into Dentally - app.apac.dentally.com

🚀 URL to use when accessing Dentally API - api.apac.dentally.com

🚀 URL to use for Dentally Portal - portal.apac.dentally.com

📝Please Note: Patient-facing portal links will remain unchanged.

There will be a brief period of downtime as we complete the migration. This will be done out of time zone to ensure minimal impact on your working hours. After this, users accessing the old URLs will either:

  • Receive a redirect to the correct site - or
  • See an error message prompting them to log in at the new address.

🚨 Important: If your URLs, integrations, or firewalls aren’t updated in time, you may experience issues accessing Dentally.

Need help?

Our support team is here to assist you throughout the transition.

📬 Contact Support: Whether you need technical guidance or just want to double-check your setup, we’ve got your back. Send us a message today or you can get in touch with us via email on hello@henryscheinone.com.

We appreciate your support as we make this exciting upgrade for our Australian practices.

Scottish NHS patients can now sign GP17 forms digitally! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ross avatar
Shared by Ross • April 28, 2025

No more complicated workflows or fiddly paperwork - for NHS Scotland practices, your patients can quickly and easily complete their GP17 forms on a tablet before and after their appointments, saving them time and reducing your workload.

How can my patients complete GP17 forms digitally?

You just need Dentally Portal's Concierge!

If you're already a Concierge user - then you're ready to go! No further action is needed - any eligible patients will see the GP17 task when they log into Concierge in your practice, and can complete their forms digitally.

Haven't tried Concierge yet? It's easy to get started - you'll just need to complete a couple of steps so your patients can sign GP17 forms digitally.

  • Check here to see if you're eligible to use Concierge for free, or whether you need to upgrade your Dentally package.
  • Once it's turned on for your practice, go to the Dentally Portal admin dashboard and click on the 'Devices' section.
  • Follow the steps to pair your tablet device.
  • Then you're all set! Your patients are ready to start completing their GP17 forms on your tablet in the practice.

💡 Top tip: If a patient meets the NHS Scotland criteria and a GP17 form is required, you'll be prompted in the visit panel.

Once you're set up, patients can quickly complete Parts 1 and 2 of their form on a tablet device (read our detailed guide here on how this will look for the patient). Once they've completed one or both parts of the GP17 form, you will be able to view them in the patient's record, in the NHS tab (under 'Exemptions').

A smooth, streamlined workflow for both you and your patients!

If you're new to using Concierge, explore our dedicated help section to start using this tool to sign GP17s and more.

NHS updates – April 2025

Kevin avatar
Shared by Kevin • March 18, 2025

Let’s dive into the upcoming NHS changes effective from April 2025, and how they may affect you.

NHS Fee Uplift 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

NHS England sites will see an NHS Fee Uplift effective from April 1st 2025. As always, Dentally will handle updates automatically, so there is no action required on your part. You will automatically see the new fees appear on courses of treatment started on or after April 1st.

View the latest NHS fees and what is included in each band for 25/26 here.

Tax Credit benefit ending 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

From 6th April 2025, the Tax Credit exemption for NHS dental treatment will no longer be valid for NHS practices across England, Wales and Scotland. Please note:

  • Patients previously exempt via Tax Credit will become chargeable unless another form of exemption is provided.
  • Treatment plans started before 6th April 2025 will maintain the exemption until completion.

Dentally will reflect this change automatically after 5th April 2025. For more information head over to the NHS website.

New patient referral codes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The Welsh Government has introduced new patient referral methods through the Dental Access Portal (DAP). This update will affect three types of patients:

  • DAP New Patient: Patients triaged from the DAP.
  • New Urgent Patient: Urgent referrals from Health Boards/NHS 111.
  • New Urgent Patient FTA: Urgent referrals where the patient failed to attend the appointment.

Going forward you will see an option on the Welsh NHS claim submission screen to select if the patient is either a 'DAP New Patient' or 'Referred for Urgent treatment'.

To submit a claim for a ‘Referred Urgent Patient FTA’ you will be required to open a new course of treatment and chart a specific treatment code (9187 - Referred Urgent Patient - Did not attend).

This allows you to submit a claim where no completed treatment has been charted. Read more about how these updates will work in Dentally over on our Help Centre or head over to the NHS website for further information.

Easier recall workflow management 📅
