AI chat for dental practices

It must not
talk about treatment. And it does not

The usual fear in a practice: the chat says too much about a diagnosis and the dentist has to answer for it. So here it works the other way round. You list the subjects that go to a person yourself, and in dentistry that list is longer than usual. The conversation takes on what is already written on your website: what an exam includes, how a first visit goes, when there is an opening.

Four reasons not to put a chat in a practice,
and what is really behind them

It will make a diagnosis or recommend treatment

It will not, unless you allowed it to. You set the list of subjects the widget does not discuss on its own, and in dentistry that list is longer than in other fields: the diagnosis, the treatment plan, indications, contraindications, judging someone else's work. A question like that goes to the front desk with a note about what exactly was asked.

It will quote a price and then the real one turns out different

It takes the price only from your material. If your pages say "from", it says the same and adds that the exact amount is worked out after an exam. If there is no price list in the knowledge base at all, the conversation says it does not know and passes the question to a person.

Patients will be offended at talking to a robot

The conversation does not pretend to be a person. It opens with a question about the subject of the page and hands the conversation to the front desk as soon as the subject goes beyond its limits. What usually offends is not the robot but the absence of an answer: a question at 10:40 pm gets no reaction until morning.

This is personal data, we are not allowed

The conversation does not ask for medical information and does not keep a patient record. It records what the person chose to share: which service they are interested in, whether it is a first visit or a follow-up, when it suits them to come in. Everything else is discussed at the appointment.

Evening, the front desk is closed, the patient is choosing

Assistant on your website Service page, implants
Patient: I was told I need a bone graft. Do you do that? And how much will it all come to?

Conversation on the website: The practice does that work, it is in the service description. Whether you need it in your case and what it all comes to is up to the dentist after an x-ray: that is not decided over messages.

Patient: I see. And when can I come in for a consultation?

Conversation on the website: I will put you down with the front desk for a consultation. Does a weekday or a Saturday suit you better, and is this a first visit or have you been seen here before?

The boundaries of the conversation

Takes on the practical,
leaves the clinical to a person

The split is simple: the conversation explains what is already written on your website. It does not touch anything that needs a dentist.

How a first visit goes

What an exam includes, how long it takes, what to bring. It is on your website already, and it stops getting lost in the evening.

What the service includes

The work and the stages, from the description you have already published. No improvising and no rounding.

When to come in

It checks which day suits and whether it is a first visit or a follow-up, so the front desk only has to confirm the time.

Where it stops

The diagnosis, the treatment plan, indications, judging someone else's work. A question like that goes to a person with the context.

What the difference is

What the patient sees at 10:40 pm

The same question on the same page, two different outcomes.

Please call us

The wording is honest but useless: there is nobody to call right now, and the person is choosing today. They open the next tab with another practice.

In the morning the front desk never learns that someone came by and what they were interested in. There is no inquiry, no trace, and the advertising for that visit has already been paid for.

An answer from your material

The practical part is closed right away: what is included, how it goes, what to bring. The clinical part waits for the dentist, and that does not read as a brush-off.

In the morning the front desk can see who came by, what they asked and when it suits them. All that is left is confirming a time rather than starting the conversation from scratch.

In other people's words

On customers, conversation and machines

Ask the widget about a diagnosis and a price
before a patient does

Upload your service descriptions and try to push the conversation past its limits. Checking it is your job.
