Recall & Reactivation · Dental

Every patient call answered. Every appointment captured.

FrontDesk’s AI receptionist delivers recall and reactivation for dental practices — answering instantly, handling the request, and booking the appointment so nothing slips through.

The Problem

Why dental practices need recall & reactivation

These challenges cost practices thousands in lost revenue every month.

01

Overdue hygiene patients quietly disappear

A patient skips one six-month cleaning, then a year passes. Without active recall, that recurring hygiene revenue simply evaporates.

02

Postcards and voicemails get ignored

Mailed recall cards and one-off voicemails rarely convert. The patient means to call back, then forgets — and the chair stays empty.

03

Staff have no time to chase lapsed charts

Reactivating patients means combing the system and making calls — work that never rises above today’s ringing phones.

The Solution

How FrontDesk handles recall & reactivation

AI-powered recall & reactivation built specifically for dental practices.

01

patient calls your practice

Whether during business hours or at midnight, the AI answers instantly and begins the recall & reactivation process.

02

AI handles the process

Through natural conversation, the AI manages every step of recall & reactivation specific to your practice's protocols.

03

appointment booked or action taken

The process completes with a booked appointment, captured information, or appropriate routing - all in under 2 minutes.

04

Your team is notified

Staff gets instant notifications with full context, so they can follow up on anything that needs personal attention.

In their words

What dental patients ask during recall & reactivation calls

Every dental practice has hundreds of patients who drifted away after one missed cleaning. Recall and reactivation brings them back — automated texts remind lapsed patients they’re overdue, and when they call, the AI books the hygiene visit on the spot instead of losing them to phone tag.

It’s been over a year — am I due for a cleaning?

Can I get the whole family booked at once?

Do I need new X-rays since it’s been a while?

Is my insurance still accepted here?
