Frequently asked questions

How does AI booking work for dental practices?

The AI receptionist answers incoming calls, asks structured questions about the reason for visit (cleaning, emergency, consultation), captures patient demographics and insurance info, and books available appointments directly into your practice management system. Staff review the recorded intake summary before the patient arrives.

Can the system handle emergency or urgent calls?

Yes. Calls mentioning tooth pain, trauma, infection, or other urgent indicators are flagged and escalated to your on-call dentist or triage staff immediately, bypassing routine scheduling queues.

Does it integrate with dental software like Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental?

MedReception integrates with 13+ EMR and practice management platforms. During onboarding, we configure your specific dental software so appointments, new patient records, and patient demographics sync automatically.

What information is captured during the call?

Patient name, date of birth, phone number, insurance carrier, chief complaint (e.g., 'cleaning', 'pain', 'broken tooth'), and relevant medical history. Insurance details are captured and summarized for staff; they are not auto-populated to the chart.

Does it reduce no-shows?

The system captures patient contact info and appointment details, enabling your team to send reminders. Combined with clear scheduling and confirmed bookings, this reduces missed appointments.
