Find care network

A patient-facing front door for Nuvana Dental and Mako for Dental.

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.

Nuvana Health find a dentist feature concept showing real-time availability, trusted practices, map search, and appointment booking.

Why this matters

It gives the system a useful starting point beyond Nuvana’s own office.

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

Find trusted care faster.

Patients can search for nearby dentists, see availability, compare practice profiles, and book without the usual phone-tag friction.

For local practices

A low-friction way into the system.

Non-Nuvana practices can start with visibility, scheduling, reviews, campaigns, and patient acquisition before deeper operating-system adoption.

For Mako for Dental

A scalable network entry point.

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

Start as discovery and booking. Grow into practice enablement.

  1. 01Start with a curated local provider directory and availability concept.
  2. 02Add profile pages for trusted practices, services, reviews, and booking calls-to-action.
  3. 03Use the system to test demand by geography, service line, and campaign message.
  4. 04Offer practices deeper tools over time: patient intake, follow-up, campaigns, analytics, and workflow automation.

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.
