It’s our voice AI service, set up as an AI receptionist and connected to your practice-management system - so appointments land in the same diary your front desk already uses, whether that is Dentally, SOE/Exact, R4 or another platform.

The AI stack we build on
AI receptionist for dental practices - common questions
How much does an AI receptionist cost for a dental practice?
Off-the-shelf AI answering products run £50-£300 per month with per-minute limits and generic scripts. A custom-built AI receptionist - trained on your treatments, connected to your practice-management system, with your recall and escalation rules - typically costs £3,000-£8,000 to build plus £100-£400 per month to run. For a practice missing new-patient calls every week, either option usually pays for itself in the first month.
Can it book and sync with our practice-management system?
Yes. A custom AI receptionist connects to your practice-management system through a governed integration, so appointments booked on the phone appear in the same diary your front desk uses. It works generically with the major UK dental systems (for example Dentally, SOE/Exact and R4), reading live availability and writing confirmed slots back rather than leaving your team to re-key messages.
Is it GDPR-compliant for patient data?
Yes. We build to UK GDPR from the start: patient data is processed under a data-processing agreement, stored on UK or EU infrastructure, encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is scoped to only what the receptionist needs to book and route calls. Call handling and retention are configured to match your practice policy, and nothing is used to train third-party models.
Will it sound natural to patients?
Modern voice AI is natural enough that many patients do not notice they are speaking to an assistant - but we recommend a brief, transparent greeting. What matters most is that anxious or first-time callers get an immediate, calm, useful answer instead of voicemail. You can hear it on your own number before you commit to anything.
