New Patient Intake
Dental practices: never miss a patient because of the phone
Your AI receptionist picks up every call, answers dental-specific questions, and books the appointment — day, night, weekends, and holidays.
The Problem
Why dental practices need new patient intake
These challenges cost practices thousands in lost revenue every month.
Paper check-in eats 15 minutes per new patient
New patients arrive to a clipboard of forms, slowing the schedule and starting the visit with friction instead of a welcome.
Incomplete info delays the first visit
Missing insurance or history details surface in the chair, forcing the team to scramble mid-appointment.
New-patient calls compete with everything else
Gathering full intake by phone is thorough but time-consuming, and the front desk rarely has a spare 10 minutes.

In their words
What dental patients ask during new patient intake calls
A new dental patient’s first call sets the tone for the whole relationship. AI intake captures their contact info, insurance, and reason for visit, then texts your forms — so when they arrive, the chart is ready and check-in takes minutes instead of a clipboard and a wait.
