November 2022

  1. Your patients will now know the reasons why their photos couldn’t be processed for their smile simulation. They will be able to see the reasons for the rejection in the email sent after submitting their pictures.

  2. You can now choose whether or not you want the smile simulation report to be shared automatically with your patient. To do so:

    • Go to Settings > Email templates > Smile Simulation available

    • Make sure “Email sent automatically” is set to off if you do not want the report to be shared automatically with your patients.


October 2022

  1. We have provided you with a simpler and shorter way to generate leads and convert them into patients, with a dedicated smile simulation flow in the virtual consultation system.

    You are now able to choose which of the below flows you would like to use for your patients:

  • Smile Simulation only - 2 photos required for the simulation of the patient’s smile.
    When choosing the Smile Simulation workflow, the report will be shared automatically with the patient (as this report does not include any medical data).

  • Smile Assessment only - 6 photos required for the report displaying both observations and treatment options

  • Full Assessment - 7 photos required for a full report and simulation.

You can create, edit, or remove flows at all times under Integration > Manage pages.

You will also be able to filter your patients by type of report in your patients list.

Note: Your Virtual Consultation URL/code already in use will not be modified and will be kept after the release. When using a new flow, the created URL/code will be different from the one already in use. The dedicated smile simulation flow is also available in the SmileMate App.

  1. We have added new capabilities in the labels section: you can now edit or remove the template labels to better suit your practice workflow.


August 2022

  1. Following your feedback, we have introduced a label customization feature in your dashboard.

You can now create, edit, and delete your own labels, color code and customize them to triage your patients to suit your practice needs.


July 2022

  1. Terms of sales are now available in your dashboard.

  2. In the virtual consultation workflow, legal guardian information will now have to be completed only if the patient is underage.


June 2022

  1. The book an appointment button has been added back on the simplified report interface:

    1. if your practice has integrated SmileMate with your own appointment booking system, your patients will access it directly

    2. otherwise, you will receive a message from the patient

2. Access to the screening report without authentication is now limited to 5 minutes: past this delay, refreshing or changing pages will require patients to re-enter their name/birthdate to access the report.


April 2022

We have simplified the patient experience!

When you share a report, your patients will no longer have to create an account in order to access it: they can now open it directly through a secure workflow, by filling the first three letters of their last name and their date of birth.

Please note that the report will always be branded with your colors and logo (customizable under Settings > Branding).


March 2022

  1. Incomplete screenings reports

  • You can now choose to be alerted when a patient has started a screening but hasn't completed it:

    • From Settings > Notifications, you can choose to activate email and/or sms notifications when a patient has not completed their screening.

Please note this setting will be turned off by default.
The email and/or sms that you will receive is not editable.

  • Patients will now receive an email when their screening is incomplete:

    • When a patient's status turns to "incomplete" on your dashboard, the patient will receive an email with a link to resume the screening (at the last step that was not saved when they left off)

    • The email template for this patient alert is customizable: you can modify its content under Settings > Email templates.

      • Please note emails will not be sent when a screening has been done in practice when logged in on your account.
