Methodology and assumptions
  • *AI captures 90% of previously missed calls (excludes spam and misdials)
  • *Labor savings modeled at 55% of current front desk cost (AI handles after-hours and overflow)
  • *Missed call rate baseline of 38% from Dental Economics Practice Vitality Report 2024
  • *New patient first-year value based on Canadian Dental Association average treatment revenue
  • *Revenue from new patients spread across 12 months (conservative monthly attribution)
  • *Service cost reflects Attainment AI Receptionist dental practice plan

Why dental practices lose patients to missed calls

The average dental practice misses 38% of incoming calls, according to the Dental Economics Practice Vitality Report. A patient who hits voicemail books with the next clinic on Google Maps.

An AI receptionist answers every call around the clock, books appointments directly into your scheduling software, sends confirmation texts, and handles cancellation requests without front desk involvement.
