Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I set up the AI receptionist?

Setup takes less than 30 minutes. You simply record a few sample messages, connect your existing phone number, and integrate with your calendar. The system is ready to handle calls immediately after configuration. There’s no hardware to install or software to download—everything works through your internet connection.

Can the AI handle complex scheduling of dental appointments?

Yes, it integrates with popular practice management software and calendar systems. The AI can suggest available time slots, book appointments, send reminders, and even reschedule based on your predefined rules. It learns your preferences over time to handle a wide variety of scheduling requests accurately.

What happens if a caller needs to speak directly to a human?

The AI can recognize such requests and seamlessly transfer the call to you or a designated staff member. You can set conditions for transfers, such as specific keywords or caller intent. During off‑hours, the AI can schedule a callback, ensuring the patient gets help without interruption to your personal time.

Does it work with my existing phone system?

Absolutely. The AI receptionist is designed to work with any standard phone number. You can forward your current office line to our service, or we can provide a new dedicated number. It also supports VOIP, landlines, and mobile forwarding. The transition is smooth and doesn’t require changing your existing phone infrastructure.

How does the AI handle after‑hours calls?

After hours, the AI takes over entirely. It answers calls warmly, provides your practice’s recorded greeting, and offers options like scheduling a call‑back, leaving a message, or visiting your website. For urgent matters, it can alert you via text or email. This ensures your practice remains accessible 24/7 without burdening you.

Can I customize the AI’s voice and language to match my practice?

Yes, you can choose from multiple natural‑sounding voices and even record your own greeting for a personal touch. The language is fully customizable—you can set the AI to speak in English, Spanish, or other languages as needed. You can also update the script anytime through a simple dashboard to reflect promotions, holiday hours, or new services.
