No more voicemail.

Ira answers like your front desk would — friendly and professional. No phone tree, no hold music. 2 ### Ira greets them by name Existing patients are recognized by phone number. Ira pulls up their record and asks what they need. New patients get a warm welcome and a few quick questions to get started. 3 ### Appointment booked, confirmation sent Ira finds the right slot in Open Dental, books it, confirms the date and time with the patient, and sends an SMS confirmation — all while they are still on the line. I Ira — AI Receptionist Bright Smile Dental Active I Hi! This is Bright Smile Dental, Ira speaking. How can I help you today? I'd like to schedule a cleaning please. P I I'd be happy to help! I see we have openings this Thursday at 2 PM and Friday at 10 AM. Which works better for you? Call duration: 1:42 Powered by Open Dental Features What Ira does for your practice ------------------------------- Every feature connects directly to your Open Dental system — no copy-pasting, no double entry. ### Answers Every Call No hold music, no voicemail. Ira picks up every call instantly — during lunch, after hours, and weekends. Patients never wait. ### Books Real Appointments Ira checks your Open Dental schedule for available slots and books directly — no double-booking, no manual entry required. ### Knows Your Patients Ira looks up patients by name, date of birth, or phone number in your Open Dental records before the conversation even starts. ### After-Hours Coverage When your office closes, Ira keeps working. Patients calling at 9 PM can still book a cleaning for next week without leaving a voicemail. ### Speaks 5+ Languages English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, Mandarin — Ira detects the caller's language and responds naturally in their preferred language. ### Logs Every Call Every conversation is recorded, transcribed, and logged in the patient chart inside Open Dental automatically. Nothing falls through the cracks. Why It Works The calls your practice misses are the patients you never see ------------------------------------------------------------- Every dental practice misses calls. During lunch, between patients, after hours — phones ring and nobody picks up. Research shows that 30 percent of first-time callers who reach voicemail never call back. They call the next practice on the list. Ira changes that by answering every single call, whether it comes in at noon on a Tuesday or 9 PM on a Saturday. As an [AI receptionist built for dental practices](/ai-receptionist-for-dental-practices), Ira does not just take messages. She books real appointments directly in your Open Dental schedule. What makes Ira different from a generic answering service is the Open Dental integration. When a patient calls, Ira can look up their record, check provider availability, and book the right appointment type with the right provider — all in real time. She confirms the appointment with the caller and sends an SMS reminder. Your front desk finds the appointment already on the schedule the next morning. Combined with [front office automation](/solutions/front-office-automation), Ira gives your team hours back every week. Practices using Ira report capturing an average of 12 additional appointments per week that would have gone to voicemail. For a practice with a $400 average production per visit, that translates to nearly $250,000 in annual revenue that was previously walking out the door. ### Today's snapshot Updated in real time Live Calls Today 47 +12% vs yesterday Appointments Booked 12 3 new patients New Patients 3 Records created in OD Avg Answer Time 3s 0 calls to voicemail The Transformation Before & after Ira ---------------------- See how one AI receptionist changes a typical day at your practice. ### Before Ira The daily struggle Missed calls during lunch, evenings, and weekends New patients lost to voicemail — they call someone else Staff juggling phones while patients wait at the front desk Hold times frustrating callers before they even get through No record of what was said on missed or after-hours calls ### With Ira The new normal Every call answered, 24 hours a day New patients captured even at midnight — booked on the spot Front desk focused on in-office patients, not ringing phones Zero hold time — instant, professional service every time Every call transcribed and logged in the patient chart automatically FAQ Questions about Ira --------------------- ### Can patients still reach a real person? Yes. Ira is designed as your backup, not your replacement. Most practices use Ira for overflow and after-hours calls. When a patient asks for a person, Ira transfers them to your team immediately. ### Can Ira book with a specific provider? Yes. If a patient requests Dr. Smith, Ira checks Dr. Smith's availability in Open Dental and books with them directly. She understands provider preferences and appointment types. ### What happens with emergency calls? Ira recognizes urgent situations and immediately routes them to your emergency contact or on-call provider. She never tries to handle a dental emergency herself. ### Does Ira capture new patient information? Yes. Ira collects name, date of birth, phone number, insurance details, and reason for visit — then creates the patient record in Open Dental before the appointment. ### How does Ira handle insurance questions during calls? Ira can ask patients for their insurance information during the call, accept a photo of their insurance card via text message, and save it to their record in Open Dental for your team to review.
