IA dental at a McAllen front desk

Small practices here get many calls in Spanish. IA dental answers each one and books the appointment.

It never shares one patient's information with another caller, and patient data stays in your practice's own accounts.

What a call looks like with IA dental

During a busy morning in McAllen, three patients call while the front desk is checking someone in. IA dental answers all three: one confirms, one reschedules and one books a cleaning.

Can it answer in Spanish?

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

Patients ask about service in Spanish. Can it send forms before the visit?

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

Many patients call about children's checkups. Can IA dental handle it?
