AI receptionist for dental practices

What gets in the way today

Peak call times clash with patients at the desk. Out-of-hours calls go to a voicemail few people leave messages on. Missed appointments waste chair time, and recall reminders are often sent late or not at all. When someone calls in pain, the receptionist has to collect details while three other things need attention.

What we set up, step by step

• Booking by your rules. Check-ups, hygiene appointments and consultations booked into your diary, with the right durations and clinicians.
• Out-of-hours answering. Calls and messages answered at night and at weekends, with clear information about what happens next.
• Reminders and recalls. Confirmations, reminders and recall messages by WhatsApp, SMS or email, with a reschedule link.
• Urgent case intake. For callers in pain or with a dental emergency, the AI collects the details your team asks for and flags them straight away.
• Everything logged. Each call and message summarised for your team, so nothing depends on a sticky note.

Emergency triage, done safely

The AI does not diagnose or give clinical advice. It asks the questions your practice defines, such as the kind of pain, swelling or injury, and follows your rules: offering an emergency slot, flagging the case to the team, or giving the out-of-hours guidance you approve. Your clinicians make every clinical decision.

What your day looks like after

The desk can focus on the patients in front of it. New patients get through first time, routine bookings happen on their own, reminders cut gaps in the diary and urgent calls reach the team with the details already collected.

A typical morning

At eight in the morning, three calls arrive at once: a new patient wanting a check-up, a regular patient moving a hygiene appointment and someone with a swollen face since last night. The AI books the first, moves the second and collects the details of the third, flagging it to the team as urgent under your rules. Reception sees all three handled, with the urgent case at the top.

Where it fits
