For Agents

Manage dental patients, appointments, invoices, NHS claims, and fees in Dentally with read and write access across 31 endpoints.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Dentally API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Dentally API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Dentally API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Dentally is cloud-based dental practice management software used by independent practices and groups, primarily across the UK and APAC. The API exposes 31 endpoints covering patients, appointments, fees, invoices, NHS claims, contracts, custom fields, payment plans, accounts, and acquisition sources. Sandbox and APAC base URLs are provided alongside production, enabling integrations that span dental groups, recall systems, and patient-engagement tools.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Dentally API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Online Patient Booking

Power an online booking widget by checking clinician availability through GET /v1/appointments/availability and creating the appointment with POST /v1/appointments. Patient records can be created or updated in the same flow via /v1/patients, so a new patient becomes a real Dentally record at the moment of booking.

Call GET /v1/appointments/availability for the clinician, then POST /v1/appointments with the chosen slot and patient id.

Recall and Reminder Engine

Drive a recall and reminder workflow by listing appointments and patients, then sending reminders through SMS or email channels outside Dentally. The patient and appointment endpoints provide the structured data such recall engines need without needing to scrape the Dentally UI.

Pull the next 7 days of appointments via GET /v1/appointments, join to /v1/patients, and queue reminders for each.

NHS Claim Reporting

Run reports on NHS claim activity by listing /v1/nhs_claims and pulling individual claims by id. UK practice managers and finance teams can build dashboards that track submission status and outstanding claims without exporting CSVs from the Dentally UI.

Call GET /v1/nhs_claims with a date filter and aggregate the response by claim status to power a finance dashboard.

Group-Wide Practice Reporting

For dental groups operating multiple practices on Dentally, the /v1/accounts and /v1/invoices endpoints provide the cross-practice data needed for revenue, billing, and acquisition reporting. Acquisition sources can be analysed via /v1/acquisition_sources to attribute new patients.

List /v1/invoices for each account and aggregate total billed by month and by practice.

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

An assistant for a front desk or dental group operations team can use Jentic to chain availability lookups, patient creation, and appointment booking in a single conversation. Jentic resolves the API key from the vault and exposes a typed schema for each Dentally operation, removing the need to read the API documentation while building an integration.

Use Jentic to search for 'book a dental appointment', load POST /v1/appointments, and execute it for the selected slot and patient.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Dentally API keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents reference operations by name and Jentic injects the key header at execution time, so the secret never appears in prompts or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g. 'book a dental appointment') and Jentic returns the matching Dentally operation along with its full input schema, so the agent can fill parameters and execute without reading docs.

Time to first call

Direct Dentally integration: 2-3 days for auth, environment switching, and resource lifecycle. Through Jentic: under an hour to chain patient creation, availability lookup, and appointment booking.

FAQs

Specific to using Dentally API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Dentally API?

Dentally does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Dentally API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Dentally API use?

The Dentally API uses an API key passed in a header. Through Jentic, the key is stored encrypted in the vault and injected at execution time, so the secret never enters the agent's prompt or memory.

Can I book an appointment with the Dentally API?

Yes. POST /v1/appointments creates an appointment for a patient, and GET /v1/appointments/availability lets you check open slots before booking. PUT /v1/appointments/{id} updates an existing appointment and DELETE /v1/appointments/{id} cancels it.

Does the Dentally API support NHS claims?

Yes. GET /v1/nhs_claims lists NHS claim records and GET /v1/nhs_claims/{id} returns a specific claim, supporting UK practices that need programmatic visibility of their NHS submissions.

What base URL should I use for the Dentally sandbox?

The OpenAPI spec lists three servers: production at https://api.dentally.co, sandbox at https://api.sandbox.dentally.co, and APAC at https://api.apac.dentally.com. Pick the one matching your environment when you call any /v1 endpoint.

How do I create a patient and book an appointment through Jentic?

Run `pip install jentic`, search for 'create a dentally patient', execute POST /v1/patients, then search for 'book a dental appointment' and execute POST /v1/appointments. Jentic carries the API key across both calls so the agent never handles it.
