For patients
Find trusted care faster.
Patients can search for nearby dentists, see availability, compare practice profiles, and book without the usual phone-tag friction.
Find care network
This feature can become a practical bridge between the Nuvana patient experience and Mako for Dental: patients discover trusted local care, while practices get a simple on-ramp into Mako’s dental operations layer without immediately changing their brand.

Why this matters
A directory and booking layer is easier for outside practices to understand than a full operating-system transformation. It can become the first handshake: send us availability, show up in trusted search, receive patient demand, and then adopt more of Mako for Dental as value is proven.
For patients
Patients can search for nearby dentists, see availability, compare practice profiles, and book without the usual phone-tag friction.
For local practices
Non-Nuvana practices can start with visibility, scheduling, reviews, campaigns, and patient acquisition before deeper operating-system adoption.
For Mako for Dental
The feature creates a marketplace-style front door that can learn what demand exists, which services patients need, and which practice partners are ready for deeper Mako for Dental adoption.
Build path
Pitch-safe framing
This should be presented as a feature concept and network on-ramp, not as a finished marketplace. The near-term goal is to test patient demand, practice interest, availability workflows, and the path from discovery into deeper Mako for Dental adoption.
