For dental practices, common starting points are booking cleanings, check-ups and new-patient visits; sending recall reminders and confirming upcoming appointments; answering questions about treatments, costs and insurance.
Does it work with the tools dental practices already use?

How long does rollout take?
Start by listing your top 20 request types by volume, automate the clearly-answerable ones, and keep humans on anything involving judgement or exceptions.
How is no-shows and last-minute gaps handled?
Confirmations and easy rescheduling by text or chat help practices fill gaps instead of discovering them on the day. The assistant can offer freed-up slots to patients who asked to be seen sooner.
