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.
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.

</p>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 spam classifier 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.

Testimonials
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
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.
