24/7 AI receptionist for dental practices

Every call answered, even with the whole team chairside

Answers every call

During procedures, at lunch, after hours, and when three patients call at once.

Books into your schedule

Reads live availability and respects providers and appointment types. No parallel calendar.

Your team stays in charge

Insurance details are passed to staff to verify. Clinical concerns are routed by your rules.

What your AI receptionist handles for your practice

The routine calls that pull your front desk away from the patient in front of them.

  • New-patient intake and booking
  • Recall and hygiene appointments when patients call
  • Rescheduling and cancellations
  • Confirmation texts after every booking
  • Hours, location, parking and directions
  • “Do you take my insurance?” — answered from your accepted-plans list
  • After-hours and overflow calls
  • Urgent calls routed to your on-call dentist

What it never does

It doesn’t diagnose, give treatment advice or quote treatment fees you haven’t approved. Pain, swelling or trauma is recorded in the caller’s own words and routed to whoever you choose. Callers who describe a medical emergency are told to call 911.

Access to recordings and transcripts is limited to authorized roles, every access is logged, and you choose how long call audio is kept, up to 30 days.

Dental practice FAQs

Can an AI receptionist book new patients into Dentrix, Eaglesoft or Open Dental?
Yes. Through NexHealth Synchronizer it reads live availability and writes the appointment and patient details into your practice management system. Server-based systems sync from your office server. See dental practice management integrations.
How does it handle dental emergencies?
By your rules. Calls about severe pain, swelling or trauma go to your on-call dentist or become a priority message, with the caller’s words passed along. It never gives treatment advice, and callers describing a medical emergency are told to call 911. Read more on dental emergency calls.
Can it answer insurance questions?
It answers from the list of plans you accept, captures the caller’s plan details and flags them for your team to verify. It doesn’t quote coverage amounts or estimate what a patient will owe.
Will it book recall and hygiene appointments?
Yes. When patients call to book their recall or hygiene visit, it books into the right appointment type and provider schedule, then sends a confirmation text.
Is it HIPAA compliant for a dental office?
We sign a Business Associate Agreement at onboarding, before your first call, covering every layer that touches patient information. Data is stored in the United States or Canada, your choice. See HIPAA and BAAs.
What does an AI receptionist cost for a dental office?
$0.75 USD per conversation minute, billed by the second, with no setup fee or contract. Covering lunch and after hours at 80 calls a month costs about $132. Try the AI receptionist cost calculator.
Will patients know they’re talking to an AI?
Yes. It introduces itself as the practice’s AI receptionist in the first sentence. Patients who ask for a person are transferred or offered a callback, by your rules.
How long does setup take?
About five business days, including your BAA, call flow, integration and testing before any patient reaches it. You can try it free for 7 days.
