Remedico at BDIA Dental Showcase 2026: What We’re Showing

Remedico is heading to ExCeL London on 13–14 March 2026 to showcase its cloud-based practice management software. The focus? Tackling admin challenges and boosting patient retention for dental practices.

Our Dental Practice Software Features

At the event, the team will highlight several standout features of their software:

• Patient Flow™: This tool tracks patient journeys and integrates with a smart calendar to fill scheduling gaps, making appointment management smoother.
• 3D Dental Chart: An interactive 3D treatment planner that provides a clear view of teeth, roots, and imaging, helping dentists map out diagnoses and treatments with precision.
• Dentaverse®: A cutting-edge platform combining EMR, AI agents, and Virtual Reality to streamline workflows and enhance the patient experience.
• Retention AI™: Automates follow-up reminders for patients due for recalls, helping reduce missed appointments.
• Clinical AI Notes: Converts spoken clinical findings into structured notes using voice-to-text technology, saving time during consultations.

Rated 4.9/5 by users, the system has been praised for its ability to simplify daily tasks. Julieth Mariki, Front Desk Personnel at The Esthetic Zone, shared her experience:

“Remedico has been very helpful with these new features, and for the past two years, it has been the best system for handling our client bookings, reminders and payments” [8].

These features will be available for hands-on demonstrations at the event.

Live Demos and Q&A Sessions

Attendees will have the chance to see these tools in action through live demonstrations. The team will also be on hand to answer questions and show how features like Patient Flow™ and Dentaverse® can integrate seamlessly into existing clinic operations.

“BDIA Showcase is one of the largest exhibitions in the UK for the dental trade and it is important… to support customers, discuss their individual requirements and assist with any queries.”

Bring your clinic’s metrics along to explore how Retention AI™ can help reduce no-shows. The team can also assist with transitioning from current EMR systems or even Excel-based records.

Event-Only Offers

After the demos, attendees can take advantage of exclusive event-only offers. Special pricing and incentives will be available for those who visit the stand or sign up during the two-day showcase. With over 300 dental suppliers and manufacturers exhibiting, the BDIA Dental Showcase 2026 offers a unique opportunity to compare software solutions, explore features in person, and secure discounts available only at the event.

Dental professionals can attend free of charge, but advance registration is required to access the exhibition floor. This is a perfect opportunity to experience Remedico’s tools firsthand and see how they can help reduce admin workload and improve patient engagement in your practice.

How Remedico Improves Daily Clinic Operations

Running a dental practice involves managing a whirlwind of tasks - booking appointments, following up on recalls, explaining treatment plans - all while delivering excellent care. Remedico’s software is designed to ease these challenges, offering tools that streamline admin work and enhance patient engagement. Here’s a closer look at how its features address common practice hurdles.

Reducing Admin Time with Patient Flow™

Appointments can be a major time drain for reception staff, but Patient Flow™ changes that. This tool automates the entire booking process, minimising the need for manual data entry. It also tracks patient progress in real time, from their first visit to follow-ups. According to Remedico, clinics using these workflows save around 40+ hours of administrative time per month - essentially reclaiming a full workweek that can be redirected to patient care instead of paperwork [8].

Increasing Treatment Acceptance with Dentaverse®

Patient understanding is often the key to getting treatment plans approved. Dentaverse® uses AR/VR technology to display 3D models of a patient’s teeth and proposed treatments, making complex procedures easier to grasp. When patients can see and understand what’s happening in their mouth, they’re more likely to accept recommendations. Dr. Saghi Helmi from Vilafortuny Clinic shared:

“Remedico has changed the way we deliver care… every doctor is now in the driver’s seat taking control over important daily admin work from updating patient diagnostics to explaining treatment plans” [8].

Cutting No-Shows with Automated Reminders

Missed appointments can disrupt schedules and hurt revenue. Retention AI™ tackles this by sending automated appointment confirmations, recalls, and follow-ups via WhatsApp and email. This eliminates the need for staff to manually chase patients and can save clinics 20–24 hours per month [8]. Plus, the system includes 1,000 free WhatsApp reminders each month, ensuring patients stay on track with minimal effort.

These features demonstrate how Remedico simplifies daily operations, giving dental professionals more time to focus on delivering high-quality care. Visit their stand at the BDIA Dental Showcase to see these tools in action.
