Missed Call Text Back for Dental Offices

Dental calls can be high value and time-sensitive. New patients, tooth pain callers, emergency dental inquiries, hygiene scheduling requests, and insurance questions often come in while the front desk is busy. If the call goes unanswered, the patient may call another office. Recover Missed Call helps dental offices respond instantly by text, collect basic request details, and route the inquiry to the front desk.

How it works

Missed call → instant SMS → AI intake → owner alert → booked job.

1

Call is missed

A patient calls during lunch, after hours, or while the front desk is on another call.

2

Instant SMS

The patient receives a quick text from the office.

3

AI intake

The AI collects reason for visit, urgency, new/existing patient status, preferred time, and contact details.

4

Office alert

The front desk receives a summary of the request.

5

Booked appointment

The office confirms availability and schedules the patient.
