What Austin dentists ask us

Does it give medical or dental advice?

No. It books, confirms and answers routine questions. Clinical questions are written down for the dentist.

Can it answer in Spanish?

Yes. It answers in the patient's language, English or Spanish, and leaves notes in English for your team.

Does it work with our scheduling system?

We review your practice management system during setup and connect it where an integration exists; otherwise appointments land in a shared schedule your team confirms.

Many patients call about patients who prefer text. Can IA dental handle it?

Yes. You define the questions and the appointment type for that request, and IA dental asks them every time and books the right provider.

Patients ask about clear aligners and whitening. Can it send forms before the visit?

Yes. It sends forms by secure link so the patient arrives with the paperwork done.
