The inbound loop

Check your missed calls. It’s the same patient calls on repeat.

Different practices, one pattern: a patient in a hurry, a chair to book, and a question to answer — arriving at night, on weekends, and over the lunch hour, exactly when your front desk is buried or gone.

  1. 01
    Do you have any openings this week?

    A new patient ready to book right now who will call the next practice on their list the second this one goes to voicemail — a whole lifetime of cleanings walking out the door.

    new patient
  2. 02
    I need to move my cleaning.

    A routine reschedule that ties up the front desk mid-morning — and quietly becomes a no-show and an open chair when it rolls to a voicemail box no one clears.

    scheduling
  3. 03
    Do you take my insurance?

    The question that gates the booking — answered instantly it books the visit and verifies the plan; unanswered it sends them shopping for a practice that picked up.

    insurance
  4. 04
    I chipped a tooth and it really hurts.

    An urgent, possibly-emergency call the front desk can't diagnose — triaged, and if it's time-critical routed to the on-call dentist immediately with the details captured.

    emergency
  5. 05
    I'm overdue for my cleaning, right?

    The recall the front desk never gets time to chase — the hygiene column that stays half-empty because nobody called the list back.

    recall

The patient who can’t get through is dialing practices in order. A system should book the chair and route the clinical before yours ever rings out.

What is an AI receptionist for dental offices?

It answers, books, and works your recall — it doesn’t practice dentistry.

An AI receptionist for dental offices answers every patient call, chat, and text the moment it arrives — 24/7, in 70+ languages — books and reschedules against your schedule, screens new patients, verifies insurance, and works your overdue-recall list, delivering it all to Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, or your cloud PMS through your scoped integration. It is HIPAA-compliant and signs a BAA. Crucially it is reception and intake only — it never gives clinical, treatment, or candidacy advice, every clinical question routes to your dentist or hygienist, and any dental emergency is triaged straight to your on-call dentist immediately.

The difference patients feel

An answering service takes a message. Lumi books the chair and works the recall.

A voicemail or answering service

  • Takes a name and a number for someone to call back
  • Reads a generic “someone will reach out” script
  • Never screens the new patient or verifies insurance
  • Books nothing — just logs a message for the morning
  • Rolls to voicemail after hours and all weekend

Lumi

  • Books, reschedules, and confirms the visit against your live schedule
  • Screens the new patient and delivers a clean record to Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental via your scoped integration
  • Answers insurance, pricing, hours, and prep questions on the spot
  • Works the overdue recall list and fills the hygiene column
  • Answers at 2 AM in 70+ languages — HIPAA-compliant, BAA signed

A message in the morning is a patient already booked elsewhere. A booked chair is the patient you keep — screened, insurance checked, clinical routed, and in your PMS.

Answering the call is just the front door

One agent for the whole front desk — and route every clinical call to your team.

Whatever comes through your phones, Lumi handles the front-desk work — booking, screening, recall, answering the routine — and hands anything clinical to the right person.

One front desk, every channel

Voice, SMS, web chat, WhatsApp, email — every call, form, and text answered in one place, so no patient reaches a voicemail box after hours or during the lunch rush.

Books, reschedules, and screens

Reads your schedule and books, reschedules, and screens new patients — delivering to Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, or your PMS via your scoped integration so your team opens a clean chart.

Recall & reactivation that never stops

Works your overdue-recall and unscheduled-treatment lists and fills the hygiene column — the outbound calling your front desk never has time to make.

Reception, never clinical advice

Lumi answers logistical questions and books appointments. It never gives clinical, treatment, or candidacy advice — clinical questions route to your team, and any dental emergency routes to the on-call dentist.

Answered in 70+ languages

Every patient in their own language, around the clock — with the intake summarized in English in your PMS for the front desk.

On top of the software you run

Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve, Denticon, CareStack — Lumi works on top of the systems your team already runs, with direct read-write via a scoped API integration. No rip-and-replace.

Speed-to-answer is everything

A patient who can’t get through books where they get answered.

The window to win a new patient closes almost as fast as it opens. Lumi answers inside it, every hour of every day; a next-morning callback races a patient who already booked with someone else.

  1. Call lands · 0 min

    A new patient wants an appointment — often after hours or on a weekend. They're already dialing practices in order.

    still winnable
  2. First minutes

    Answered live, screened, insurance checked, and a chair offered and booked. Reach the patient this fast and they're on your schedule, not shopping.

    still winnable
  3. Within the hour

    Still recoverable — but they're leaving voicemails at the next two practices while yours rings out to a full mailbox.

    still winnable
  4. Next morning

    A callback now races a patient who already booked with whoever answered first. The missed call became a competitor's new-patient exam.

Built for a practice bound by HIPAA

Hard boundaries for patient calls.

A dental front desk needs walls, not improvisation. These four are wired in before the first call — so it never crosses into practicing dentistry.

HIPAA-compliant, BAA signed

Lumi is built to be HIPAA-compliant and signs a Business Associate Agreement with your practice — baseline for handling patient information, not an add-on. It handles the minimum necessary and logs every interaction.

It never gives clinical advice

Lumi schedules, reschedules, works recall, verifies insurance, and answers logistical questions. It never gives clinical, treatment, dosing, or candidacy advice — every clinical question routes to your dentist or hygienist.

Dental emergencies reach a human

A knocked-out tooth, severe swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding is triaged and routed to your on-call dentist immediately, with the details captured. Nothing clinical is ever managed by the AI alone.

On top of your PMS, never instead of it

Lumi works on top of your existing Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, or cloud PMS — direct read-write rides your integration path, a scoped API integration. You keep the software you run; there's no rip-and-replace and nothing to migrate.

clean charts and intake — no midnight data entry

“The after-hours line used to be a voicemail box we cleared in the morning — and half those patients had already booked somewhere else. Now every call is answered, the chair’s on the schedule, the recall list actually gets worked, and anything clinical is already flagged for the doctor before we walk in.”

Questions, answered

What practices ask before switching on Lumi.

Does LumiTalk work with our practice management software?

Yes — LumiTalk works alongside Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, and CareStack, among others. In a standard deployment, scheduling links, secure intake questionnaires, and task handoffs carry bookings and call outcomes to your team without Lumi writing into the patient chart; direct PMS read-write is available through Redox or a custom API connection as a separate integration engagement, scoped during onboarding. Your practice software stays put either way. Running a different PMS? Ask us.

How does it handle patient privacy?

Before touching a record, Lumi confirms identity — name and date of birth at minimum — and it only discusses information and performs actions your practice has authorized. Clinical judgment stays with your team: symptoms get noted and routed, never assessed. Dental practices vary in how they interpret their privacy obligations, so bring your specific compliance requirements to a demo and we'll walk through data handling step by step, in plain terms.

Can it actually fill empty chairs, or just answer calls?

Filling chairs is the outbound half of the job. Lumi works your overdue recall list on a steady cadence, follows up no-shows the same day, and confirms upcoming visits to prevent tomorrow's gaps — all logged and handed to your team as it goes. Inbound answering keeps you from losing bookings; the recall and recovery workflows are what put production back on the schedule.

What happens when a patient calls with severe pain at night?

Lumi screens immediately for emergency signs — severe pain, facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, fever — and follows your protocol: paging the on-call dentist, directing the patient to urgent care, or booking the first morning slot with a flag for the doctor. The point isn't for AI to judge a dental emergency; it's to make sure a patient in pain reaches your defined pathway instead of a voicemail greeting.

What does an AI receptionist cost for a dental practice?

Pricing starts low: one simple, flat monthly rate — no setup fees, no per-call or per-minute metering — sized to the workflows you enable, from answering and booking through recall and no-show recovery. Compare it against a portion of a front-desk salary and the production value of a few recovered hygiene slots per week, and the math gets simple fast. Book a demo for a quote specific to your practice.

Will patients know they're talking to an AI?

Lumi introduces itself clearly — "This is Lumi, the practice's virtual assistant" — and patients hear a natural voice that answers on the first ring, at 2 PM or 2 AM. Most patients care that the call was answered and the appointment got booked; anything clinical, sensitive, or requiring judgment routes to your team with the conversation attached.

What languages does it speak?

Lumi supports 70+ languages. It detects the caller's language and continues the conversation naturally — booking, rescheduling, and confirmations included — which matters for practices serving multilingual communities where a language barrier at the front desk quietly costs bookings.

How long does setup take?

Lumi learns your providers, appointment types, and scheduling rules — including any Redox or custom API connection you've scoped — and runs supervised test calls before going live — typically a matter of weeks, not months. Front-desk training is minimal: your team sees Lumi-completed bookings arrive like any other entry and jumps in whenever a call needs a human.

How does the handoff to my front desk work?

With the full context attached: the caller's name, why they called, everything already collected (insurance updates, symptoms noted, times offered), and what Lumi did. Your staff pick up the thread without making the patient repeat their story — or read the complete summary when the handoff is asynchronous.

Does Lumi replace my front-desk staff?

No — it removes the parts of the job that pull your team away from patients. The front desk keeps every conversation that needs a human: treatment questions, upset patients, judgment calls. Lumi absorbs the ringing phone, the recall dialing, and the after-hours line, so the person at the counter can stay with the patient in front of them.
