The AI receptionist built for dentists

Most dental calls come in while your team is mid-procedure or already gone for the day — and a patient who hits voicemail just books with the practice down the street. SunoVoice AI answers every call in seconds, 24/7, in a natural human voice — so your dental practice never loses a customer to voicemail again. It's a complete AI receptionist for dentists: it picks up instantly, holds a real conversation, and gets things done on the call.

The lunch-hour new-patient call, handled

It's 12:40 and your front desk is at lunch. A new patient calls: her employer just switched to a Delta Dental PPO and she wants a cleaning and exam before year-end benefits expire. SunoVoice answers on the first ring, confirms from your knowledge base that you accept her plan, explains that a first visit includes x-rays and a comprehensive exam, and offers Thursday at 3:10 or Friday at 9:00. She takes Thursday. The appointment lands on your calendar during the call, a text confirmation with your intake link follows seconds later, and your treatment coordinator reads the full transcript before the patient ever walks in. No voicemail, no phone tag — just a new patient on the hygiene schedule.

Privacy, PPOs, and nervous patients

Dental offices ask about two things first: patient privacy and insurance accuracy. On privacy, the receptionist collects only what scheduling requires — name, callback number, and reason for visit. It never touches charts, x-rays, or treatment notes, and recordings and transcripts stay in your dashboard under your control. On insurance, it answers strictly from what you load: which PPOs you accept, your out-of-network policy, what a cleaning or crown typically runs without coverage. It never guesses at a patient's annual maximum — it captures the plan name and hands verification to your coordinator. And when a caller is in pain or anxious about the drill, it keeps a calm, unhurried tone, follows the emergency script you wrote, and transfers to a human the moment a real voice is needed.

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI tell callers whether we're in-network with their dental insurance?+

Yes, within limits you set. Load your accepted plans — Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, whichever you take — into the knowledge base and the receptionist answers plan-acceptance questions instantly, 24/7. It won't quote individual annual maximums or verify benefits; it captures the caller's plan details so your insurance coordinator can verify before the visit.

What happens when someone calls at 9 p.m. with a knocked-out tooth or a broken crown?+

The receptionist follows the emergency instructions you define: it can give your standard guidance, transfer the call straight to your on-call dentist's line, or book the first available morning slot and text the patient a confirmation. You decide which situations warrant a live transfer versus next-day scheduling, and every call is recorded and transcribed.

Is an AI answering the phone appropriate for patient privacy in a dental office?+

The receptionist gathers only what scheduling requires — name, callback number, and the reason for the visit. It has no access to charts, x-rays, or treatment records. Every call is recorded and transcribed to your private dashboard, so you can review exactly what was said to any patient and keep your own documentation.

Can it book directly into Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental?+

SunoVoice books appointments live on the call through Cal.com, Google Calendar, or Outlook. If your practice management system syncs with one of those calendars, bookings flow straight through. If not, the appointment lands on the connected calendar with an SMS confirmation to the patient, and your front desk copies it into the PMS.
