AI receptionist is overhyped at the macro level and underused at the workflow level. For a NZ dentist, that gap is where the actual ROI lives – and where most of our work happens.

Sector reality
Dentists need software built around their week, not against it.
- Dental practices live and die by a full chair and a clean recall list, and both take constant admin to keep on track.
- No-shows, insurance queries, and recall reminders are the recurring admin load behind every dental front desk.
How we build AI receptionist for dentists.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a dentist business, so value lands before the build is finished. 24/7 AI front desk.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI receptionist take to ship for dentists?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real dentists data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Has this actually shipped for a real dentist?
Yes. Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI receptionist into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Vapi sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
