AI Receptionist for Dentists That Captures New Patient Calls
Dental offices lose high-intent patients when the front desk is helping someone in the chair, checking out a family, or closed for the day. Hire Kayla answers every call, captures the reason for the visit, books appointment requests, and keeps your team from returning to a pile of missed calls.
Kayla turns dental phone coverage into a revenue capture system: new patient inquiries get answered, emergency callers get prioritized, and routine questions are handled before they interrupt your front desk.
24/7 answering. Lead capture. Appointment requests. Call transcripts.

Industry Pain Points
Why missed calls cost dentists real revenue
Callers are usually looking for help now. When they hit voicemail, hold music, or a busy line, the next provider is one search result away.
New patients call while the team is checking patients in and out.
Hygiene and consultation slots go unfilled when callers hit voicemail.
After-hours tooth pain calls often go to the first office that answers.
Repeated questions about insurance, hours, and appointment availability slow the desk down.
