AI Front Desk Assistant

Dental practices miss leads and frustrate existing patients when calls come in during lunch, after hours, or while the front desk is swamped checking patients in and out. An AI front desk assistant handles common questions, books routine appointments, and triages emergency symptoms so patients get a useful response instead of voicemail.

How It Works

01

Answer inbound calls and texts

The assistant responds to common questions about hours, location, accepted insurance, emergencies, and appointment availability using office-specific information.

02

Triage intent

Routine hygiene or consult requests are guided into booking, while true emergency symptoms or complex financial questions are escalated to staff.

03

Write back to the office systems

Booked appointments, call summaries, and urgent follow-up tasks are pushed into the practice schedule or a team inbox for morning review.

In Practice

A patient texts at 8:45 p.m. with a broken filling, gets triaged into the emergency queue, and the office manager sees a summarized alert before the doors open the next morning.
