For dental practices

Stop missing new-patient calls.

Dental practices miss roughly 30% of new-patient calls — usually after 5pm, on weekends, or when the front desk is with patients. At $1,500-$3,000 lifetime value per new patient, that's six figures a year walking past your door.

The bleed

Every missed call is a competitor's win.

When a new patient calls and gets voicemail, they don't leave a message — they call the next dentist. Here's what that costs:

Voicemail dead zone

After-5pm new-patient calls

~40% of new-patient inquiries happen evenings + weekends. Most go to voicemail. Most never call back.

Insurance friction

"Do you take my insurance?"

Front desk spends 8-15 min per call running eligibility manually. The AI does it in <30 seconds via the PMS API.

Founder fatigue

Emergencies at 2am

After-hours emergencies hit your cell phone. The AI triages — true emergencies escalate; everything else gets a callback slot.

The problem

Front desk overwhelmed during peak hours. Dropped calls averaged ~60/week across locations with no unified intake. The existing Dentrix PMS wasn't integrated with web forms. New-patient acquisition stalled despite increased ad spend.

Frequently asked

Dental practice owner FAQ.

How many calls do dental practices typically miss?+

Industry research shows dental practices miss approximately 30% of new-patient calls — usually after 5pm, on weekends, or when staff are with patients. At an average $1,500-3,000 new-patient lifetime value, that's hundreds of thousands in lost revenue annually for a typical 3-op practice.

Does your AI receptionist integrate with Dentrix?+

Yes. We build custom integrations with Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, and other dental PMS systems. The AI books appointments, runs insurance eligibility checks via the PMS API, and pushes complete patient records before the first visit.

Is the AI receptionist HIPAA-compliant?+

Yes. We sign a BAA (Business Associate Agreement) with every dental customer and deploy on HIPAA-compliant voice infrastructure (Hathr.ai or similar) with end-to-end encryption, audit logs, and PHI handling controls.

What about after-hours dental emergencies?+

The AI triages calls by urgency. True emergencies (severe pain, swelling, trauma) trigger an immediate SMS to the on-call dentist with caller details. Non-emergencies get a scheduled callback. Most practices stop the founder's phone ringing at 2am within the first week.

How long does it take to deploy?+

14 days from kickoff to live for standard implementations. Multi-location practices and Custom HIPAA builds take 21-45 days depending on integration depth.

What's the typical ROI for dental practices?+

A typical 3-op practice recovers $40-80K/year in previously-lost new patients within the first 90 days. The system pays for itself within 2-4 weeks at most practices.
