Import a template
Dentascribe lets you use your own note and letter templates with our AI, so it generates documentation that you're comfortable with.
1. Open the import page
Select Import a template in the sidebar.
2. Select the template type
Select your template type (clinical note or patient letter).
3. Paste your template
Copy and paste your existing note or letter template, and Dentascribe will convert it into a structured template in about 30 seconds. Whilst you're waiting, you can import another template at the same time.
4. Review and edit
After the template is imported, you can review and edit it as needed.
Questions
Why is it changing my template slightly?
Dentascribe may change your template subtly, such as adding headings and clickable options, so that it works with our AI system. We still try to keep the imported template as close to the original as possible. If you want to make changes, you can do so in the Template library by selecting your template.
Can I import multiple templates at the same time?
Yes. Whilst one template is being imported, you can start importing another template at the same time without waiting.
Why does it take a few seconds to save changes?
After you click Save, Dentascribe processes your template and fixes potential formatting or spelling errors to keep your templates clean and professional.
How do I make a section of my template, such as a hygienist prescription, always fill in even if I don't say it out loud in the appointment?
Add a hint in curly brackets to the hygienist prescription section, for example {always fill in hygienist prescription even if it's not mentioned}. The easiest way to do this is to use the AI editing bar, or you can edit the template manually.
I don't want the patient risks section of my template to be filled in by AI. How do I prevent this?
Add a hint in curly brackets to the patient risks section, for example {do not fill in patient risks even if they're mentioned}. The easiest way to do this is to use the AI editing bar, or you can edit the template manually.
Can I share a template with a colleague as a one-off?
Yes. Open the Template library, select a template, and use the Share button. They'll get an email with a link to import it into their account. For organisation-wide shared templates, create a practice instead.
How do I create shared templates for my whole practice?
Create a practice in Settings for shared templates and consolidated billing. See our practice setup tutorial for more information.
