    Dental Front Office Agent

    One AI agent that runs the front desk, from the first call to the 6 PM report.

    What Dental Front Office Agent does

    Overview

    An AI agent that takes over the work that slips at a busy dental front desk. It texts back every missed caller and books them, fills cancelled chairs from a waitlist, brings back patients overdue for a check-up, lists unpaid insurance claims for the billing team, and sends the dentist one report at the end of the day. Pain, emergencies, and anything clinical always go to a person.

    • No missed call goes without a reply, even after hours
    • Fewer empty chairs, because cancellations are offered to the waitlist straight away
    • Overdue patients rebooked without the front desk making a hundred calls
    • Unpaid claims surfaced every day instead of months later
    • One end-of-day message that shows exactly how the day went

    Dental Front Office Agent, step by step

    How it works
    1. 01

      Set up the clinic sheet

      Services, prices, hours, booking rules, and the waitlist. This is where the agent gets every answer.

    2. 02

      Go live on missed calls

      The first week covers missed calls only, tested against real patient questions before launch.

    3. 03

      Add reminders and the waitlist

      Confirmations go out 48 and 2 hours ahead, and cancellations refill automatically.

    4. 04

      Turn on recall, claims, and the report

      Once the dentist sees results in the daily report, the remaining jobs switch on one by one.

    Safe by design, for patients and the practice

    Security and data

    No medical advice, ever

    Clinical questions, pain, and emergencies always go to the emergency line and a person.

    Built for patient privacy

    Patient data stays in tools covered by the clinic's BAA. Texts carry first names, dates, and times only.

    Opted-in patients only

    Reminders and recall texts go only to patients who agreed, always with Reply STOP to opt out.

    A profit check on every offer

    Any discount or message to more than 20 patients is checked first, and unusual cases go to a person.

    Questions about Dental Front Office Agent

    FAQ

    If you only need calls, chats and texts answered and booked, start with Sanma: free trial with no card, then from $79 a month, and you can set it up yourself. Choose the Dental Front Office Agent when you also want the waitlist, overdue-patient recalls, unpaid-claim lists and the end-of-day report built and run for you.

    No. It handles the calls nobody could pick up, the reminders, and the follow-ups that slip on a busy day. Your team keeps every conversation that needs a person, and insurance follow-ups are always sent by staff.

    If your software connects to n8n, Zapier, or Make, the agent books into it directly. If not, open slots are mirrored to a Google Calendar the front desk keeps up to date.

    Never. It answers only from your services, prices, hours, and rules. Anything clinical, and any mention of pain, swelling, or bleeding, goes to your emergency line and a person.

    Patient data stays in tools whose vendors sign a Business Associate Agreement with the clinic, texts carry no clinical details, and we review the setup with your compliance advisor before any real patient data is connected.

    No, and we recommend against it. We start with missed calls, which is usually the biggest leak, then add the other jobs once the daily report shows results.
