Check dental insurance benefits before visits with an AI tool

A general dental office near Los Angeles used an AI receptionist on Open Dental for overflow and after-hours calls from June 2025. A part-time staff member read the summaries of all 1,432 calls over 15 months and every failed call transcript. The AI never put a caller through to a person, struggled to spell names (especially Spanish names) and sometimes said it would make a change and then didn't. The author later built a competing product, so weigh the comparisons with that in mind.
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.
