AI phone & front desk for dental offices

A front desk that keeps your chairs full

Patients call while your team is chairside. The AI answers, books hygiene and new-patient visits, confirms appointments by text and logs every call — so no opportunity slips away.

Example call

Sound familiar?

The front-desk problems dental offices tell us about

  • Phones ring while the front desk is checking patients in and out
  • New-patient calls go to voicemail and book elsewhere
  • Last-minute cancellations leave gaps in the hygiene schedule

FAQ

Questions from dental offices

Can an AI receptionist book dental appointments?

Yes. The AI checks availability in your schedule, books the right appointment type — for example a new-patient exam or a hygiene visit — and texts the patient a confirmation. Anything it is unsure about is flagged for your team.

Will it work with our practice management software?

We connect to your scheduling system where an integration is available. Where it is not, the AI captures the request and your team confirms it in one click from the call log.

Can it handle dental emergencies?

You set the rules. The AI can recognise urgent issues such as pain, swelling or trauma, transfer to staff during hours, and after hours share your emergency instructions or on-call number.

Can we keep our existing phone number?

In most cases, yes. Your existing business number can usually be transferred (ported) to the platform, so customers keep calling and texting the number they already know.

What happens when a caller wants to speak to a person?

The AI can transfer the call to the right person or team during business hours, or take a detailed message and flag it for follow-up. You decide which requests always go to staff.

What happens if our internet goes down?

Calls automatically fail over — to staff mobiles, another office or the AI receptionist — so callers still get through. Service returns to normal as soon as your connection is back.

How long does it take to switch?

Setup and testing happen while your current system is still running. Transferring numbers usually takes from a few days to a few weeks depending on your current provider, and your old service stays live until the switch, so there is no gap.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the number of users, phone numbers and features you need. Book a consultation and we will recommend a setup and give you a clear quote.

Getting started

Switching is simple — we do the work

  1. 01

    Assessment

    We review your lines, numbers, phones and how calls are handled today, then recommend a setup.

  2. 02

    Build & test

    We set up menus, schedules, users, the AI receptionist and integrations, and test them with you first.

  3. 03

    Number transfer

    We handle the porting paperwork. Your old service stays active until the moment we switch.

  4. 04

    Go live & train

    We switch at a quiet time, set up phones and apps, train your team and keep tuning.

What you’ll need

  • A reliable business internet connection
  • Your existing numbers (or new ones from us)
  • Compatible desk phones you own, new ones from us — or just the apps
  • Access to your calendar or booking system
