Specialties · Dental / Oral Surgery

We understand dental & oral surgery practices.

Treatment plan acceptance is decided at the front desk, not in the operatory. Hygiene recall is the engine that runs the practice. And insurance maximization is a calendar game. We know the game.

Dental practices have a structural truth most clinicians underrate: the work that fills the schedule next month is decided by what happens at the front desk this month. Treatment plan acceptance, hygiene recall capture, benefit-aware sequencing — these are operational levers, not clinical ones.

Two-thirds of presented treatment plans never get scheduled. Most of that loss happens between the operatory and the front door — at the moment a patient is told "we'll send you the estimate" or "call us when you're ready." A patient who walks out without a next appointment booked has, statistically, walked out for good.

Done well, the dental front desk doubles as the practice's growth engine. Done badly, it leaks the case acceptance the clinical team already earned.

Five things every dental front desk has to handle.

01
Treatment plan presentation is the close — and most are mishandled.

The doctor diagnoses. The hygienist hands off. The front desk presents. If the financial conversation isn't crisp, if the next appointment isn't booked before the patient stands up, the plan dies. The clinical case acceptance rate is a front desk metric in disguise.

02
Insurance maximization is a calendar game most practices lose.

Crowns, periodontal scaling, and elective work need to be sequenced against annual maximums and benefit reset dates. A treatment plan worked across two benefit years is materially more affordable for the patient — and only gets sequenced that way if the front desk knows the math at booking.

03
Multi-visit procedures derail at confirmation, not at booking.

Implants, ortho, full-mouth rehab — each plan is 6–18 months of appointments. One missed confirmation, one rescheduled visit that doesn't get rebooked, and the entire sequence stalls. The patient drifts. The case revenue evaporates. The clinical work never gets finished.

04
Hygiene recall is the practice's heartbeat — and most practices undermeasure it.

6-month hygiene is the only thing pulling 80% of patients back through the door. An overdue patient at 7 months has a 50% chance of becoming an overdue patient at 12 months — and a 25% chance of being a former patient by month 18. Recall is the highest-leverage retention metric in dentistry, and most practices "track" it on a spreadsheet nobody opens.

05
Emergency walk-ins disrupt — but they're a new-patient channel.

Same-day emergencies pull staff away from the morning schedule. They're disruptive in the moment — but they're also one of the highest-converting new-patient sources. Most practices handle them reactively and lose both the conversion and the schedule integrity. There's a workflow for this. Most don't have it.

Autonomous AI mapped to dental workflows.

Treatment-plan-aware scheduling, benefit-maximization verification, and hygiene-recall messaging tuned for the dental practice.

Agents Suite

Autonomous AI agents for dental.

  • Voice agent handles hygiene recall calls, new-patient scheduling, and treatment-plan follow-up — without filling the hold queue.
  • Smart confirmations with multi-visit awareness — confirms next phase of treatment, surfaces remaining benefit at year-end, prompts re-book.
  • Eligibility intelligence verifies coverage with frequency limits, deductibles, and remaining annual maximum — flagged before the visit happens.
BI Agent

Real-time visibility into dental metrics.

  • Case acceptance rate — by provider, by treatment category, by time-to-present.
  • Unscheduled treatment dollars — patients with pending plans, sized and segmented for outreach.
  • Hygiene recall conversion — recall list aging vs. rebook rate.
  • Year-end benefit utilization — patients with significant unused benefit, flagged for re-engagement before reset.

Human-led operating discipline for dental.

Assessment of how treatment plans are presented, documented playbooks for case acceptance and recall, and a 90-day plan to lift both.

Evaluation Framework

Evidence-based assessment.

  • Half-day on-site observing case presentation, treatment-plan follow-up, insurance verification, and hygiene-recall conversations.
  • Case-acceptance audit against benchmarks — by provider, treatment category, and presentation method.
  • Written findings with dollars-per-pillar leakage and a prioritized opportunity list.
Operational SOP Definition

Documented playbooks.

  • Treatment plan presentation script — visual aids, financial conversation, and same-day scheduling pathway.
  • Hygiene recall playbook — cadence, messaging, and escalation for at-risk recall patients.
  • Insurance maximization workflow — year-end benefit conversations and pre-determination protocol.
  • Claims follow-up SOP — what gets re-submitted, when, and how aged AR gets worked.
Strategic Transformation

90-day execution roadmap.

  • Days 1–30: case-presentation and hygiene-recall SOPs deployed across the team.
  • Days 31–60: voice agent + eligibility verification with frequency awareness live.
  • Days 61–90: BI dashboards live for case acceptance, unscheduled treatment, and recall conversion.

What we measure in dental.

Dental has different leading indicators than the medical specialties. These are the ones we track — with the targets we work toward.

75%+
Treatment plan acceptance when paired with same-day next-visit booking. Industry baseline sits at 35–45%.
92%
Hygiene recall capture within 14 days of due date. Industry average is roughly 60%.
<6%
No-show rate on production appointments (crowns, implants, ortho). The high-revenue chairs that get protected.
+$2.4K
Per-patient annual revenue uplift from benefit-aware sequencing and active recall combined.
