AI for dental practices

Call your own office at 4:55 on a Friday from a number nobody there recognises, and listen to what happens. Then look at how much accepted treatment is sitting unbooked in your software. Those two numbers are usually where we start.

What we usually find

Where the money is actually going

The phone is your whole business and nobody can get to it

A new-patient call that hits voicemail is worth thousands over their lifetime, and by the time you hear the message they have already dialled the next practice on the list. Most of them do not leave a message at all. Meanwhile your front desk is standing in front of somebody trying to check them out. Both of those people deserve attention, and one person cannot give it to both at once.

Everything gets typed twice

The patient fills in a form. Somebody types it into the chart. Somebody else reads the same details down the phone to an insurer. A fax arrives and gets scanned into a folder no one will ever search again. Add up the hours and you are paying a salary to move information between screens.

The unscheduled treatment list is a savings account you never withdraw from

Every practice has one. Diagnosed, presented, accepted by the patient, and then never booked. Working the list properly is a part-time job nobody has been given, so it grows quietly for years until somebody finally totals it up and gets a shock.

Recall dies the day the person who owned it goes on vacation

Reactivation is the cheapest revenue available to a practice and the first thing dropped when the schedule fills up. It also tends to be owned by one person, so it stops entirely when they take a fortnight off.

Answers every call, including after hours and during the lunch rush
Books and reschedules straight into your practice management system
Answers insurance, hours, location, pricing and prep questions
Texts back missed calls within seconds

Intake & Records

The paperwork fills itself in.

What a patient writes on a form arrives in the chart with nobody retyping it. Insurance checked before they walk in. A one-page summary on the provider's screen that morning.

Digital intake forms that land in the chart, not in a PDF pile
Insurance eligibility checked and flagged before the visit
Referral letters, scans and faxes read and filed automatically
A one-page pre-visit summary for the provider
Flags missing information while there's still time to fix it

Revenue & Recall

The money you have already earned, collected.

Accepted treatment nobody booked. Patients who stopped coming. Denials nobody appealed. This works all three lists every week, politely, at a fixed monthly cost.

Reactivates patients who haven't been in for 12+ months
Triages claim denials and drafts the appeal
Chases outstanding balances in a tone you have approved
Reports what it recovered, in dollars, every month

How it goes

Audit, build, stay.

01
We audit
Two weeks watching how the work really moves. You get a written plan with dollar figures on it, and you keep it whether or not you hire us.
02
We build
Fixed price, three to six weeks. It connects to the software you already run. Staff are trained during the build, not on go-live day.
03
We stay
We watch it, fix what drifts, add one new thing each quarter. Cancel any month on thirty days' notice.

The questions everyone asks

Does it work with my practice management software?

Open Dental, Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Curve, Denticon and the cloud systems all have a route in. Some have a proper documented API, some go through a supported integration partner, and a few need a workaround that is more fragile than either. The audit tells you which one yours is, what that costs and what it rules out. If your system is genuinely closed we will say so rather than discover it halfway through a build.

Will patients know they are talking to AI?

Yes, because it tells them. Pretending otherwise is wrong and in several states it is now illegal. What we see in practice is that patients care far more that somebody picked up at seven in the evening than about who picked up. Anyone clinical or upset reaches a person within seconds.

How much does AI for a dental practice cost?

The audit is $2,500, refunded if it cannot find three times that in recoverable value. Front Desk starts at $9,800 to build. Ongoing support runs $1,200 to $3,800 a month depending on your call volume and how many systems we are watching. You see every number before you commit to anything.

We are a single-location practice. Is this overkill?

Single locations often see the fastest return, because one person owns the decision and there is no committee to convince. A missed new-patient call costs you the same whether you have one chair or nine.

Two weeks from now you could have the plan.

The audit is $2,500. Refundable if it cannot pay for itself three times over, and the fee comes off anything you go on to build.
