Quebec Law 25 and PIPEDA-aware. Bilingual. Privacy workflow planned upfront.
Quebec's Law 25 (Act to Modernize Privacy Legislation) is Canada's most comprehensive provincial privacy law and came into full effect in 2023. It requires privacy impact assessments, explicit consent, careful data handling, and the right to be forgotten. Montreal dental practices are subject to Law 25 alongside federal PIPEDA. Aida uses privacy-aware data handling and is designed around Law 25-aware planning.
Why Montreal dental practices choose Attainment.
Built for Canadian dental practices. Configured for Quebec.
Montreal is Canada's most bilingual major city. Aida handles French and English patient intake without switching modes. This is a real service differentiator in a city where unilingual service frustrates patients.
Quebec's Law 25 is the most stringent provincial privacy law in Canada. Aida supports Law 25-aware planning: Privacy-aware data handling, consent management, and privacy impact documentation.
Montreal's Plateau, NDG, Laval, and South Shore practices compete for patients across a wide geography. After-hours answering captures patients who search for dental care outside business hours.
McGill University, Concordia, and UQAM students are a high-volume patient source. Students call evenings and do not leave voicemails. Practices that answer immediately capture this segment.

How we calculated these numbers, and how to use them.
The missed-call and revenue figures on this page are planning benchmarks, not a forecast for any single practice. The "35% of calls go unanswered" and "75% of voicemail callers never call back" figures are widely cited dental front-desk benchmarks. Per-call revenue ranges are built from published dental practice-management benchmarking (for example, Dental Intelligence and practice CPA group averages) and typical first-year or per-case production for Montreal dental practices in Canada.
Treat every number here as a starting estimate. Before using any figure as a forecast, validate it against the practice's own call logs, case values, and conversion rates. Local market size, fee guide, and insurance mix all move the result.
Scope: this page covers the operational and revenue side of patient call handling for Montreal dental practices. It is not clinical, diagnostic, or treatment advice. Diagnosis, treatment planning, sedation, and all clinical decisions stay with the practice's licensed team.
