AI receptionist knows your patient's full chart before they speak

Calls are answered with instant access to visit history, treatment plans, insurance, and clinical notes. Patients never repeat information; your practice keeps better records.

How it pays back

Patients feel recognized and valued on first contact

The AI greets returning patients by name, acknowledges their history, and doesn't ask them to repeat their story. Trust builds in the first 10 seconds.

Urgent issues surface faster

If a patient calls with tooth pain and the AI sees they had root canal therapy two years ago, that context routes the call correctly and alerts the dentist to relevant history.

Insurance information is available during the call

Coverage is visible during the call, so the AI can discuss treatment options and out-of-pocket costs without needing to put the patient on hold.

Your staff receives complete handoff notes

When a call is transferred to a dentist or hygienist, all context—chief complaint, relevant history, insurance notes—is already documented in the system.

Instant patient context

Full history, insurance, and appointment record available on call arrival

Zero re-intake for returning patients

Only current symptoms or changes are collected

Call notes captured and structured

Summaries ready for staff review and chart filing

Emergency routing with history

Urgent calls include relevant clinical context to guide triage

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI access my patient's dental chart during a call?

The AI integrates with your dental EHR. When a call arrives, it retrieves the patient's demographics and appointment history in real time. The patient confirms their identity, and the AI has instant access to that context.

What if a patient calls from an unknown number?

The AI can ask for name and date of birth to look up the patient record. For established patients, caller ID often identifies them automatically.

Does the AI use patient history to give clinical advice?

No. The AI uses history to ask better questions, understand context, and route calls appropriately. Any clinical guidance or diagnosis comes from your dentist or hygienist.

What information is captured in the call notes?

Chief complaint, symptoms, relevant history from the chart, insurance notes, and the outcome (e.g., appointment booked, transferred to dentist, advised to seek emergency care). Your staff reviews and files these summaries.

Can emergency patients be triaged differently if they have prior complications?

Yes. If a patient calls with a symptom and the AI sees a history of complications or allergies, the call can be automatically escalated or routed to the on-call dentist.
