Answering service for dental offices
New patients get booked, even when the front desk is busy
An AI receptionist for dentists answers the calls your front desk can’t get to: new patients, reschedules, insurance questions and after-hours emergencies. Brantheo’s AI Caller books into your schedule following your rules and sends your team a summary of every call.
Your front desk keeps the patients in the chair and the calls that need a person. Everything else gets an answer on the first ring, in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

Reschedule or cancel
Moves the appointment and offers the next opening, so the chair doesn’t sit empty.
- 4Tooth 19
“Do you take my insurance?”
Answers from the plan list you give it. Anything it can’t confirm goes to your team.
- 5Tooth 4
Hours, location, parking
The questions that eat front-desk time, answered the same way every time.
- 6Tooth 27

How a call goes
New or existing, urgent or routine
-
Step 1
Identifies the caller
New patient or existing patient, and what the call is about.
-
Step 2
Checks urgency
Pain, swelling or a broken tooth follows your emergency rule. Routine calls go straight to booking.
-
Step 3
Books the visit
Offers the slots you open for that kind of visit and confirms the time.
-
Step 4
Hands off the rest
Your front desk gets a summary with the caller’s details and anything that needs a person.
Where it stops
What stays with your team
It handles scheduling and routine questions. Four kinds of call get noted and passed to a person.
#3, #14, #19, #30: four hand-offs, numbered the way your charts number teeth.
- #3
Clinical advice.
It doesn't diagnose or suggest treatment. Swelling with fever or trouble breathing gets your emergency instruction, such as calling 911.
- #14
Patient records.
It doesn't look up charts or discuss treatment plans. It handles scheduling and routine questions.
- #19
Insurance details it can't confirm.
Coverage and benefit questions go to your team as a callback.
- #30
Billing disputes.
It takes the message and passes it to the person who handles billing.
