FOR DENTISTS, ORTHODONTISTS AND DENTAL GROUPS
The new patient who calls at 7:40 pm shouldn’t get voicemail.
New patients often call when your front desk is busy or the office is closed. An AI receptionist answers on the first ring, books the visit or takes the details, and sends your team a clean summary for the morning. It never gives clinical advice and never opens a patient chart.

Where dental offices lose calls
- Lunch and the morning rush, when the front desk is checking patients in.
- After hours, when someone with a toothache is looking for an office that answers tonight.
- Hold queues, when a new patient hangs up and books with the next office on Google Maps.
What it handles for your practice
- New-patient calls: takes their name, reason for visit and insurance basics, then books or sends your booking link.
- Emergency calls: follows your own instructions for what counts as urgent, and texts the on-call contact you choose.
- Common questions: hours, location, parking, whether you take new patients, direct billing to insurance.
- Reschedules and cancellations: takes the request and passes it to your team, or updates the booking if your system allows it.
What it won’t do
It doesn’t diagnose, give treatment advice or quote treatment prices beyond what you approve. It doesn’t access charts. Anything clinical goes to your team. That keeps you inside your college’s expectations and keeps patients safe.
What it costs
Published 2026 prices for AI receptionists range from about US$25 to US$300 a month, compared with US$175 to US$700 a month for a human answering service. One new patient who stays for years is usually worth far more than either. These are market ranges, not Zolo’s prices.

What dental offices ask
Is an AI receptionist safe for patient privacy?
It should only collect what booking needs, such as name, phone number and reason for visit, and never access patient charts. Ask any provider where call recordings are stored and who can hear them.
Can it book directly into our practice software?
Many booking systems connect directly. Where yours doesn’t, the AI receptionist texts the patient your online booking link or sends your team the details to book.
How much does an AI receptionist cost for a dental office?
Published 2026 prices range from about US$25 to US$300 a month for AI receptionists, compared with US$175 to US$700 a month for a human answering service.
Will patients be annoyed talking to AI?
Patients are usually more annoyed by voicemail. A well-trained assistant says it’s an assistant, answers quickly and offers a person when asked.
