Capture reason and insurance
Required: reason for visit (cleaning / exam / emergency / cosmetic / ortho / kids), insurance carrier (or 'I'll pay out of pocket'), preferred date window.
Form template · Dental appointment
Dental appointment requests need insurance, preferred date, and reason for visit — without those three, the front desk's morning is back-and-forth phone tag.
This template is one of our free HTML form templates. See more form templates by industry.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Dentist Contact Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Dentist Contact Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

<script src="https://splitforms.com/embed.js" async></script>How to add it
To add a Dentist Contact Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Required: reason for visit (cleaning / exam / emergency / cosmetic / ortho / kids), insurance carrier (or 'I'll pay out of pocket'), preferred date window.
Emergency-flagged submissions trigger an SMS to the on-call dentist or front desk via Twilio. 'Severe pain' or 'broken tooth' gets called back within the hour, not the next morning.
Insurance carrier and member ID (optional) lets the front desk verify benefits before the appointment. New patients arrive with paperwork pre-done; chair time is for dentistry, not admin.
What's included
Dental front-desk staff spend a third of their day on phone tag — calling insurance, calling the patient back, scheduling around hygienist availability. A form that captures insurance carrier, preferred date window, and reason for visit removes most of that. Emergency leads (broken tooth, severe pain) get triaged to today; cleaning and exam requests fit into the 6-week-out hygiene book; cosmetic and ortho consults route to the appropriate specialist. Same form, three completely different scheduling paths. BAA available on Pro · webhooks into Dentrix / Eaglesoft / Open Dental.

Where submissions go
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

How SplitForms works
splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Point your form to your unique SplitForms endpoint. That's it.

We instantly capture and organize every submission in your inbox.

Send data to email, spreadsheets, CRMs, webhooks, and 7,000+ apps.

No credit card required. Set up in under 60 seconds.
Connect & automate
On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

Questions
splitforms encrypts submissions at rest and in transit. For full HIPAA coverage you also need a BAA — available on the Pro plan with a separate request. Don't put diagnosis details on the form; capture intent and book the call. Real PHI lives in your dental software, not in form storage.
Yes — webhook the JSON. Most practice management software accepts inbound webhooks via Zapier or Open Dental's HL7 module. Lead lands in your scheduling app pre-filled.
Auto-respond to new-patient submissions with a link to your full intake forms (medical history, consent). Patient fills them out before the visit; chair time is for the dentist, not admin. Most practices see 30+ minutes saved per new patient.
Webhook to Twilio with a routing rule — 'emergency' submissions trigger a call to the on-call number. After-hours emergency calls are usually 1-2 a week and the patient is grateful to reach a human.
