An AI receptionist for dental offices

Your hands are in someone's mouth. The phone rings. That's a new patient, a reschedule, or someone with a toothache who's about to call the next office on the list. CallerIQ answers instead, finds out who's calling and why, and gets you a clean summary before your next patient sits down. It plugs into the phone number you already have.

A REAL CALL

A woman calls at 9:40pm with a cracked molar, hoping someone can see her first thing tomorrow.

CallerIQ: "Thanks for calling Riverside Dental. This is the office's AI assistant. Who am I speaking with?" Caller: "Janet Reyes. I broke a tooth on some popcorn and it's throbbing." CallerIQ: "Sorry to hear that, Janet. Can you tell me a bit more, and what times work if the office can fit you in tomorrow?" Caller: "Anytime before noon, honestly. Here's my number." CallerIQ: "Got it. Someone from the office will call you back to confirm."

The owner's summary shows Janet Reyes, cracked molar, wants a morning slot tomorrow, with her callback number ready to book.

The calls you're losing

Why dental offices miss calls

You're chairside, not deskside

When you or your hygienist are with a patient, nobody's free to grab the phone. The call rings out, and that caller either leaves a voicemail nobody checks for hours or just tries the next practice.

The after-hours toothache spike

Tooth pain doesn't wait for office hours. Patients call the second you close, and again at night when the pain gets worse. If it goes to voicemail, they keep dialing until a live voice or a helpful one answers.

New patients don't leave messages

Someone comparing a few dental offices calls whoever answers first. A ringing phone with no pickup usually means they cross you off the list before you even know they called.

Insurance and cost calls get rushed or dropped

These calls take a minute your front desk doesn't have between patients. Put them on hold too long or send them to voicemail, and they hang up and try somewhere that'll just talk to them.

How it works

Three steps, one dial code.

01

Forward your missed calls

One dial code sets up conditional call forwarding with your carrier. Your number stays your number; only the calls you don’t answer route to CallerIQ.

02

CallerIQ answers

It greets the caller in the voice and greeting you chose, finds out who they are and what they need, and captures the details, using only the business information you gave it.

03

You get the summary

Who called, why, and what to do next, in a clean report you can read in seconds. Real callers get through; spam doesn’t.

What your callers hearCallers hear a friendly greeting in the voice you chose, and CallerIQ tells them plainly it's the office's AI assistant answering. It asks who's calling, what they need, and gets the details down, whether that's a reschedule, a toothache, or a new-patient question. No pretending to be a person, no dead air, no rushed front-desk juggling. Just a calm voice that gets the message right.
And the spam?Dental supply telemarketers and recruiting agencies call constantly, and CallerIQ turns them away before they eat up your day. It can politely decline, waste their time instead of yours, and keep them out of your call summary so you only see the calls that matter.
Questions

What dental offices ask us

Do we need a new phone number for this?+
No. CallerIQ works through carrier call forwarding on the number your patients already call. There's no new hardware to install and no new number to give out.
Can we turn it off during office hours?+
Yes. You can turn CallerIQ off with a dial code whenever your front desk wants to take calls directly, and turn it back on the same way.
What happens when someone calls with a toothache after we're closed?+
CallerIQ gets their name, the reason for the call, their preferred times, and a callback number, then sends it straight to your summary. The office decides how and when to follow up.
Does it know our insurance plans or pricing?+
Only what you tell it. You set the greeting, voice, and any business details CallerIQ can share, so it never makes up an answer about coverage or cost.
How does it handle dental supply or recruiting calls?+
CallerIQ recognizes spam and robocall patterns, turns those calls away, and can string scammers along instead of letting them reach you or clog up your message list.
