For dental offices

Never send another new patient to voicemail.

TelAI is a done-for-you AI phone receptionist built for dental offices. It answers new-patient and appointment calls — after hours, at lunch, while your team is chairside, and on overflow — in English and Spanish, captures the request, answers basic insurance and hours questions, and emails your front desk the details in minutes. No new software to learn.

The front-desk problem

Your team is chairside — and the phone keeps ringing

When your front desk is checking out a patient, already on another line, at lunch, or gone for the day, new-patient calls go to voicemail — and new patients almost never leave one. They simply call the next office that picks up. A caller ready to book at 6 PM becomes someone else's new patient by morning, and over a lifetime of cleanings, fillings, and referrals, that one missed call is worth thousands.

How it works

Live on your existing line in about a week

Forward the calls you miss

Keep your number and your front desk. You forward only after-hours, lunch, on-another-line, and no-answer calls — nothing else about your office changes.

It answers like your front desk

A receptionist tuned for your practice greets every caller in English or Spanish, answers hours, location, and insurance-accepted questions, and takes the appointment request.

You get the lead in minutes

Name, phone, reason — new patient, cleaning, emergency — and preferred times land in your front desk's inbox before the caller hangs up, with urgent dental issues flagged.

Why dental offices specifically

New patients, captured not lost

The missed new-patient call is the expensive one. TelAI answers it, books the callback, and emails you the details so it doesn't become a competitor's patient.

Appointment requests, taken right

Reason for the visit, new-or-existing patient, preferred days and times — captured as a structured request, not a vague voicemail to decode.

Bilingual by default

English and Spanish in the same call, switching mid-sentence the way your patients actually talk — no upcharge and no setting to remember to flip.

Basic questions, answered

Hours, location, insurance and plans accepted, and your new-patient process — handled without pulling a team member away from a patient in the chair.

Dental emergencies flagged

An after-hours chipped tooth, lost crown, or severe pain is captured and flagged to you right away, with genuine life-safety situations pointed to 911.

A service, not a dashboard

I build, test, and maintain your agent for you — and you can call me directly. There's nothing for your front desk to learn or babysit.

Questions owners ask

Asked, answered

+Will it book appointments into our system?

On the launch plan it captures the request — patient, reason, and preferred times — and emails your front desk to confirm and book. Live calendar or practice-management booking on the call is available as an add-on once you're set up.

+Does it replace our front desk?

No. Most offices forward only after-hours, lunch, on-another-line, and overflow calls. It's a safety net for the calls your team can't grab, not a replacement for anyone.

+Can it answer insurance questions?

It answers the basics you approve — plans and insurance accepted, your new-patient process, hours and location — and routes anything detailed to your team. It never quotes coverage it shouldn't.

+What about a dental emergency after hours?

It captures the caller, flags urgency to you immediately, and points genuine life-threatening emergencies to 911 — so a 9 PM severe-pain call reaches you instead of voicemail.

+Do we have to change our phone number?

No. Keep your number and forward calls to TelAI whenever you need it — after hours, at lunch, or on overflow. Setup is remote, anywhere in the U.S., with no onsite installation.
