Dr. Elena ran a single-chair dental practice. She often let calls go to voicemail during cleanings, and many patients never heard back. She feared she was losing new patients every day.
She set up the AI receptionist in 45 minutes. Now the AI greets callers, books appointments in her calendar, and sends her daily summaries. She feels her practice is fully covered.
Most dental sole traders can complete setup in under an hour. You choose a phone number, configure a few call flow options (e.g., greeting, business hours, appointment types), and connect your calendar or practice management tool. There is no hardware to install and no software to download. Once you have tested a sample call, you can activate the number and start receiving calls immediately.
Yes. Our AI receptionist supports English, Spanish, and several other languages commonly used in patient communication. You can set a primary language and even configure multilingual greetings. If a patient speaks a different language, the AI can detect it and switch seamlessly, ensuring every caller feels comfortable.
You can configure the AI to recognize keywords like 'emergency' or 'pain' and either transfer the call directly to your mobile, send an urgent text, or provide the patient with your after-hours emergency number. This ensures that urgent cases get immediate attention, while routine calls are handled efficiently.
Absolutely. The AI is designed to handle common questions and bookings, but it can transfer callers to you or your team at any time based on keywords or patient request. You stay in control. Many dentists appreciate that the AI filters routine calls so they can focus on clinical work, while still being available for complex conversations.
Yes. Our AI receptionist is built with HIPAA compliance in mind. Voice data is encrypted, recordings are stored securely, and we do not share patient information with third parties. You can also review call logs and transcripts to maintain oversight. We recommend reviewing our security documentation and signing a BAA if required.
We offer direct integrations with popular dental practice management platforms like Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and Open Dental. The AI can check availability, book appointments, and send reminders synced with your calendar. For other systems, we provide a simple API or manual export/import options. Our support team will help you connect your specific setup.
