THE CHALLENGE

Your front desk is overwhelmed. Your patients are frustrated. There is a better way.

Running a dental practice means balancing clinical excellence with business operations. Your front desk team juggles phone calls, insurance verification, appointment scheduling, patient check-ins, billing questions, and recall management all at once. When the phone rings and the waiting room is full, something has to give.

The data tells the story: dental practices miss an average of 35% of incoming calls during business hours. Every missed call is a potential patient choosing another dentist. And no-shows cost the average practice $150,000+ per year in lost revenue.

Novasoft AI gives your practice an AI receptionist that answers every call, schedules appointments, sends automated reminders, handles insurance questions, and manages patient communication around the clock. Your front desk team gets relief, your patients get instant service, and your schedule stays full.

PAIN POINTS

Problems that cost you money every single day

Missed calls during busy office hours

When your front desk is checking in patients, handling insurance, and assisting the clinical team, the phone goes to voicemail. New patients looking for a dentist call the next practice on their list. Existing patients get frustrated and may eventually switch providers.

No-shows and last-minute cancellations

Appointment no-shows are the silent killer of dental practice revenue. Without consistent reminders across multiple channels, patients forget, oversleep, or just do not show up. Each empty chair costs your practice $200-400 in lost production.

Insurance and billing questions consume staff time

Patients call constantly asking about coverage, copays, and billing. Your staff spends hours per day looking up benefits and explaining details when they should be focused on patient care and practice operations.

Recall and reactivation falls through the cracks

Patients who are overdue for cleanings or treatment need outreach. But recall campaigns require dedicated time your team does not have. Inactive patients represent thousands in unrealized revenue sitting in your practice management system.

THE SOLUTION

An AI receptionist that never puts patients on hold

We deploy a custom AI phone and messaging system for your dental practice. It answers calls instantly, schedules on your actual calendar, sends multi-channel reminders, and handles routine patient questions. All integrated with your practice management software.

01

AI Phone Receptionist

Every incoming call is answered within one ring, 24/7. The AI greets patients by name (when caller ID matches), handles scheduling requests, answers common questions about hours, location, and services, and routes urgent clinical calls to your team.

02

Smart Appointment Scheduling

The AI sees your real-time schedule and books appointments based on your rules: procedure type, provider preference, insurance type, and time blocks. It fills cancellation slots, manages waitlists, and optimizes your daily schedule for maximum production.

03

Multi-Channel Appointment Reminders

Patients get automated reminders via text, email, and phone call at intervals you set (72 hours, 24 hours, 2 hours before). Patients can confirm, reschedule, or cancel right from the reminder. Cancellation slots get offered to waitlist patients automatically.

04

Patient Recall and Reactivation

The AI automatically identifies patients overdue for hygiene visits, treatment follow-ups, and recall. It reaches out with personalized messages, handles scheduling, and tracks reactivation rates. Turn your dormant patient base into booked appointments.

WHY NOW

Why the smartest dental practices are investing in AI right now

The dental industry is experiencing a staffing crisis. Finding and retaining skilled front desk staff has never been harder. The average dental receptionist position takes 6-8 weeks to fill, and turnover is high. Every time you lose a team member, you lose institutional knowledge and your patient experience suffers.

AI does not replace your front desk team. It augments them. By handling the highest-volume tasks (answering phones, sending reminders, scheduling, recall outreach), AI frees your team to focus on what machines cannot do: greeting patients with warmth, handling complex insurance situations, and providing the personal touch that builds loyalty.

The practices that adopt AI now will have a significant competitive advantage. While other offices are still missing calls and losing patients to no-shows, AI-powered practices will capture every opportunity, maintain full schedules, and deliver the responsive experience that modern patients expect.

Our front desk was drowning. We missed 30% of calls and our no-show rate was killing us. The AI receptionist answered every call from day one, our no-shows dropped 60% with automated reminders, and we booked 30 extra appointments last month from patient recall alone. My team can finally focus on patients in the office.
