Why dental practices miss calls
New patients do not leave voicemails
Someone searching for a dentist calls three practices and books with whoever picks up. A missed call from a new patient is not a message waiting for you in the morning — it is a patient who became someone else's patient, and you never learn it happened.
Your front desk cannot be in two places
Checking a patient in, verifying benefits, and answering a ringing phone are three jobs. During the busiest hours of the day they collide, and the phone is always the one that loses.
Evenings and weekends are when pain starts
Dental emergencies do not keep office hours. A cracked tooth on a Saturday goes to whichever practice answers — usually one with an after-hours line.
A single new-patient exam and cleaning is commonly worth several hundred dollars on the first visit, and far more over the life of the relationship. One recovered call a week pays for the service many times over.

Common questions
Will patients know they are talking to an AI?
Most callers simply experience a receptionist who answers immediately and knows the practice. We do not pretend to be human if a caller asks directly — the assistant answers honestly. You can hear exactly how it sounds by calling (213) 566-8879.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You keep your existing number and forward it to the dedicated line we provision for your practice, usually in your own area code. Forwarding is a setting with your current phone provider and takes a few minutes.
How does it handle a dental emergency?
The assistant is configured to recognize urgency — severe pain, swelling, trauma, a knocked-out tooth — and escalate immediately rather than simply booking the next open slot. You decide what counts as urgent and how you want to be reached.
Does it integrate with my practice management software?
Appointments sync to Google Calendar today, and the full call summary with transcript is texted to your front desk so nothing has to be re-keyed from memory. If you run a specific practice management system, tell us which one — integration priority is set by what customers actually use.
What does it cost?
Plans start at $149/month, with Growth at $349/month for higher call volume. Flat monthly pricing — not per-minute billing that spikes in a busy month. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial.
How long does setup take?
Most practices are live the same day. You tell us your hours, services, and how you want emergencies handled; we configure the assistant and give you a number to forward to.
