Why this matters for dental practices
Front desks at busy practices answer the same questions dozens of times daily: hours, location, whether you take their insurance, how to reach billing. That work is perfect for deflection — it frees your team for patients who are actually in the chair or walking in.
When not to use AI here
AI should not interpret X-rays, diagnose conditions, or discuss treatment plans. Keep clinical conversations with your dentists and hygienists only.
Your first week
