Can the agent book directly into our practice diary?

Where a supported integration exists and the practice approves write access, yes. Otherwise the agent captures a structured booking request for reception to confirm.

How are dental emergencies handled?

Emergency wording triggers your escalation policy — a warm transfer during hours, or your out-of-hours instruction and callback path outside them.

Recording is configurable, with disclosure, retention limits and access controls agreed with the practice.

THE PROBLEM

Reception is busiest exactly when new patients ring

Front desk staff are with patients, on another line or processing payments. New-patient enquiries are the most valuable calls a practice receives and the easiest to lose to voicemail. A managed agent picks up every time, follows your scripts and hands over the moment a clinical judgement is required.

The agent handles administrative journeys. Clinical questions and emergencies are transferred according to the practice's policy.

COMMON OBJECTIONS

What owners usually ask first

Will patients know they are speaking to an AI?: Yes. Disclosure wording is agreed with the practice and delivered at the start of the call.
Could it give clinical advice by mistake?: The agent is configured to decline clinical questions and route them to the practice under your policy. Those paths are tested before launch.
What if our practice-management system is not supported?: We confirm integration feasibility during scoping. Where a direct write is not possible, the agent captures the booking request and delivers it into the workflow your team already uses.

THE RIGHT OFFER

Where dental businesses usually start
