AI receptionist for dental practices
The phone rings while your receptionist is checking a patient in, and again after the practice closes. Your AI receptionist answers the calls you miss in your practice’s name, answers common questions from your own information, books appointments and takes messages for the team.
How it works for dental practices
New patients answered
Are you taking new patients? Do you do evening appointments? It answers from your website and the notes you add, and books a new patient appointment when online bookings are on.
Bookings with the right clinician
Appointments go into the same diary as your booking page, with clinicians and surgeries set up, so it only offers times that are genuinely free with the right person.
Clinical questions left to you
It answers only from what you’ve given it and never guesses. For anything clinical, or a question it can’t answer, it takes a message with the patient’s details for your team to call back.
Patients know it’s an AI
It greets callers in your practice’s name and says it’s an AI assistant, so nobody is misled. Asked for a person, it can put them through to a number you choose.
New patient exam
A lunchtime rush at Elmcote Dental
Lunchtime calls answered while reception took a break
Elmcote Dental’s front desk closed for lunch, and the phone used to ring out for an hour every day. Now the receptionist takes those calls. In one lunch hour it booked a check-up for a new patient, moved a hygienist appointment to the following week, and took a message from a patient worried about a cracked filling, with a request for a call back. When reception reopened, the summaries were waiting and the bookings were already in the diary.
An illustration of how it works, not a real customer.
The film
How the AI Receptionist, LocalQuiver's fifth AI agent, answers the calls you miss and your website chat in your business's name, how missed callers get a text back from your business number, and how customers book themselves into one diary. It works the same way for dental practices.

0:09So meet the AI Receptionist, the fifth AI agent in LocalQuiver.
0:14Your phone rings first. When you can't pick up, it answers in your business's name, and says it's an AI assistant.
0:21It answers questions from your website and documents, then books the visit into your diary, or takes a proper message.
0:27And you get a short summary of every call it handled.
0:31The same receptionist chats on your website, answering questions and booking appointments in writing, day or night.
0:38With missed-call text back, every caller you miss gets a text from your business number, straight away, in your words.
0:45Their replies land in one place, and you answer from the app when you're free.
0:49And with online bookings, customers book themselves into times that are genuinely free, from your website or your booking link.
0:56Confirmations and reminders go out for you, and every booking lands in one diary, so nothing can clash.
1:03Every call answered. Every booking taken. Even when you're on a job.

More for dental practices
No. It answers only from the information you give it, such as opening hours, services and how to register, and it’s told never to guess. For anything clinical, it takes a message with the patient’s details so your team can call back.
Yes, with online bookings on. Each clinician has their own hours in the diary, and it only offers times when the right person and room are free. Patients can be booked with whoever is free first if you prefer.
Never. It only ever discusses the caller’s own bookings, matched to their phone number, and never shares anything about another patient or your team. Each call is summarised in your app for your team to review.
