Frequently asked questions

What can a WhatsApp chatbot do for dental practices?
An AI assistant on the WhatsApp Business Platform that handles inbound messages, sends approved notifications and keeps the conversation in the app customers already use. 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?
Yes — the goal is to fit around practice management software, online booking tools and patient communication platforms, not replace them. Conversations sync to your CRM or help desk, and the bot can look up bookings, orders or account details through your existing systems.
How long does rollout take?
WhatsApp requires a verified Business account and pre-approved message templates, so rollout includes registering the number and getting templates approved before going live.
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.
