Dental Clinic Appointment System (DCAS) is an application developed specifically for managing appointments in a professional dental clinic.

1. User Registration/Login: Patients can create accounts or log in to manage their appointments, personal information, and treatment history.

2. Appointment Booking: Patients can view available time slots and schedule appointments based on their preferences. They should be able to select a specific dentist, type of treatment, and preferred time/date.

3. Calendar and Scheduling: A calendar interface for dentists/staff to manage appointments, view daily/weekly schedules, and make changes if needed. It should prevent double booking and manage time efficiently.

4. Automated Reminders: Automated email or SMS reminders sent to patients to confirm appointments, reducing no-shows or late cancellations.

5. Patient Management: A database to store patient information including medical history, treatments, allergies, and contact details. This should be accessible to authorized staff for quick reference.

6. Treatment Records: Recording and updating patient treatment information, progress, prescribed medications, and post-treatment instructions.

7. Billing and Invoicing: Generating bills, invoices, and receipts for services rendered, including options for online payment or integration with insurance systems.

8. Reporting and Analytics: Generating reports on appointments, revenue, patient statistics, and other key metrics to analyze clinic performance.

9. Multi-platform Access: Availability of the system on multiple devices like desktops, tablets, and smartphones for easy access and management.

10. Customizable Settings: Allow customization of clinic-specific settings such as working hours, appointment durations, and special days off.
