One new dental patient is worth roughly $4,800 in lifetime value. Your front desk is on the other line at 2:47 PM Monday — or at lunch, or 15 minutes after close — and that caller dials the next office on the search page. InstaNexus picks up every ring, screens toothache emergencies from routine cleanings, and logs the appointment to your schedule before the caller hangs up.
Answers in 1–2 rings at lunch, after 5 PM, and on Saturdays — the exact moments a first-time caller reaches for Google and dials the next office on the list.
Screens toothache, swelling, and trauma calls against your same-day emergency slot policy, and routes routine cleanings and recall no-shows into the standard booking flow. Captures insurance carrier and member ID upfront.
Drops appointments onto your calendar with the right block length for hygiene vs. exam vs. emergency. Texts the patient a confirmation and a new-patient intake link.
Your hygienists' open columns, which insurances you're in-network with, new-patient exam pricing, and your emergency-after-hours policy — all wired in under an hour. Sounds like your front desk, not a call center.
Three real scenarios your shop sees every week — and exactly how the AI receptionist runs each one, start to finish.
A first-time caller found the practice on Google while the whole front desk is at lunch. She wants an exam and cleaning and is price-shopping two other offices.
A current patient calls after hours with pain that woke him up last night and visible swelling on one side. He wants to know if he needs the ER or can wait.
An existing patient calls back after a reminder text — she's nine months out from her last cleaning, no-showed her rescheduled visit in March, and wants to get back on the schedule.
Books straight into the calendar your dental office already runs on — no new numbers, no port-outs, no training the front desk on yet another tool. Custom integrations with Dentrix or Open Dental can be scoped during onboarding for offices that want calls flowing straight into their PMS.
