Why this matters for dental practices
New-patient enquiries from Google, referrals, and your website often sit unanswered for hours while the front desk is with patients. By the time someone calls back, they've booked elsewhere. A lightweight CRM with instant auto-follow-up wins consultations you already paid to acquire.
When not to use AI here
Don't automate clinical intake questions that require a dentist's judgment. Keep treatment planning, pricing for complex cases, and emergency triage human-led.
Your first week
- Day 1: Connect your website contact form and Google Business messages to the CRM.
- Day 2: Write a 3-step SMS/email sequence for new-patient enquiries.
- Day 3: Test end-to-end with your own phone number.
- Day 4–5: Go live; review every lead that didn't book within 48 hours.
