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 40% from orthodontic practice management benchmarks
- *Treatment value based on Canadian orthodontic case fees ($5,000-$8,000 typical range)
- *Revenue from new patients spread across 18 months (conservative for multi-payment treatment plans)
- *Service cost reflects Attainment AI Receptionist orthodontic practice plan
Why orthodontic practices lose patients to missed calls
Orthodontic practices operate in a highly competitive market where new patient acquisition drives everything. When a parent calls to schedule a consultation for their child and hits voicemail, they simply call the next orthodontist on Google Maps. With treatment plans worth $5,000 to $8,000, each missed call costs the practice thousands in revenue spread across an 18 to 24 month case.
An AI receptionist answers every inquiry, books new patient consultations directly into your scheduling software, handles appointment reminders to reduce no-shows, and manages after-hours calls without any front desk involvement. Practices using AI call answering report show rates above 90%, compared to a 60 to 70% industry average.
