7+ hours/week spent on verification100+ Daily Calls Overwhelm Staff
Front desk staff handle over 100 calls daily, mostly scheduling requests that require no clinical judgment but demand immediate attention.
25+ hours/week on scheduling callsHigh Turnover Burns Cash
Dental admin staff turnover averages 25% annually.

Common Questions
Real objections from Dental Practices owners considering AI AI New Patient Coordinator.
01How is patient and practice data handled for dental workflows?
We use only the access listed in your SOW, and only to deliver the services. You keep ownership of your data, accounts and tools.
02What happens if a patient has a complex question the AI can't handle?
The AI gracefully escalates to your staff with full context captured. Patients never feel abandoned - the system summarizes their inquiry and routes it to the right person with all details.
03Will my patients prefer talking to a human?
Most patients prefer digital self-service for scheduling. For those who want human help, the AI offers seamless transfer. Routine inquiries are handled by AI with escalation available.
04How long does it take to train the AI on my specific practice?
Target go-live: about 30 days from kickoff. Your timeline is set in your SOW. The AI learns from your PMS data, existing scripts, and conversation logs. Ongoing tuning against your SOW metrics happens automatically as it handles more interactions.
05What if the AI makes a scheduling error?
AI systems have guardrails preventing double-bookings. All appointments go to your calendar with auto-conflict detection. Staff reviews schedule daily, and the AI learns from any corrections.
