Test an AI receptionist on one dental office's overflow calls, then roll it out
Quick answer
Normandy Lake Dentistry is a four-location dental group in Florida. After-hours and overflow calls often went to voicemail while staff looked after patients in the office. It tried Arini's AI receptionist at one location for overflow calls first, then added the other three. The AI now also handles cancellations, insurance questions and after-hours calls.
Business type: Clinics, dental & vet. Tool used: Arini AI receptionist. Result: Arini reports that in the first 30 days the AI booked 47 appointments at one location from overflow and after-hours calls. Since launch it has handled over 1,600 calls a month on average and booked about $39K a month in production, over $500K in total. Reported in Arini's case study.

A two-location dental group put an AI receptionist on calls it was missing (about 500 a month), booking patients straight into the schedule. The vendor reports $134k in booked production from September 2025 to April 2026, including $34k in the first full month.
A Grapevine, TX chiropractic and acupuncture clinic with 150+ calls a month put a 24/7 AI on the phones. In the first 30 days it handled 172 calls and booked 32 new appointments, plus many text threads, so staff could focus on patients in the chair.
A dentist running two offices with a single receptionist put an AI on both phone lines. In its first 90 days it handled 1,700+ calls and booked 184 appointments into the practice software, including 12 new patients, about $230K in production.
