Unified patient calling, intake, and charting for multi-chair dental offices

Dental practices using fragmented systems waste chair time on call handling and manual chart updates. A unified AI CRM that writes appointments and new patient records directly to your EHR eliminates the gap between reception and clinical staff.

How it pays back

Operatory Chair Time Stays Clinical

Dentists and hygienists spend call-handling time in the chair instead. The AI answers, screens, schedules, and flags urgent cases—front desk staff review and confirm rather than answer every line.

EHR Write-Back Eliminates Dual Data Entry

Appointment slots, patient names, DOBs, and phone numbers flow directly from the AI to your EHR. Your staff no longer re-keys booking confirmations or manually creates new patient records. Insurance and photo ID stay captured in the portal for staff review—no false auto-population of clinical chart fields.

Intake Answers Reach Your Chart in Minutes

Medical history, allergies, current medications, and reason for visit are captured during the call and returned as structured text. Your team reviews and files it—faster than paper forms, more complete than a rushed check-in.

No-Show Prevention Begins at First Contact

The AI confirms appointment details, captures best callback numbers, and triggers reminder sequences. Patients know exactly when they're booked and hear a voice, not a cold email.

Every call answered

Day or night, no voicemail dead ends, urgent escalation built in

EHR write-back on three fields

Appointments, new patient creation, and demographics sync instantly

Structured intake capture

Medical history, insurance holder, reason for visit returned as pasteable summary

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI auto-populate insurance information into my EHR?

No. Insurance data is captured on the call and stored securely in the MedReception portal. Your front desk reviews it and handles data entry or uploads—we don't write insurance fields to the chart to avoid errors or duplicates. The patient's name, DOB, and phone number do write to the EHR automatically when the record is created.

What happens if a patient needs an urgent same-day appointment?

The AI recognizes keywords (pain, swelling, infection) or routes calls marked 'urgent' to your staff immediately. Your team can slot the patient directly into an open operatory or callback queue. No escalation delays.

Can the AI handle multi-location scheduling?

Yes. You define which hygienist, operatory, and dentist availability applies to each location. The AI cross-checks real-time schedules and books patients into the right chair at the right office. Each location's EHR chart gets a copy of the appointment.

Does the AI pull clinical notes from my EHR during the call?

Yes, if available. The AI can be set to read allergy flags, medications, and prior visit notes from your EHR so it never books a patient during their last filling or misses a documented drug allergy. This reduces front-desk confusion and improves patient safety.

How do I know what medical history the AI captured?

After each call, the AI returns a structured summary (Chief complaint, HPI, Allergies, Medications, Insurance holder) that your team reviews and files into the chart. This is not auto-filed—your dentist or hygienist reads it, confirms, and signs off before it enters the legal record.

What if my EHR goes down—does the AI stop booking?

No. The AI continues to answer calls, capture patient details, and store them securely. When your EHR is back online, queued appointments and new patient records sync automatically. No calls are lost.
