Revenue recovery for independent dental clinics
Your clinic is losing patients every time the front desk gets overloaded.
Missed calls become bookings at the next clinic. Cancelled slots go unfilled. Treatment plans that got a “I'll think about it” never come back. We install the workflow layer that recovers all three.
Works with your existing system
Already on Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Tracker? We don't replace it.
Your PMS is your system of record. We sit on top of it and handle the communication layer it can't — after-hours intake, missed-call follow-up, cancellation recovery, and treatment re-engagement. No data migration. No new software for your team to learn. No dependency on us to run.
Where the revenue goes
Three gaps that cost most clinics five figures a month.
Missed calls during peak hours
Two patients are checking in. The phone rings twice, then a third time. One call doesn't get answered. That patient calls the next clinic on Google. Nobody on your team knows it happened.
→ Module 01: After-hours AI intake + missed-call SMS textback
Cancellation slots that go unfilled
A patient cancels late Friday. The slot isn't noticed until Monday morning. No outreach goes out. The chair sits empty and that production is gone.
→ Module 01: Cancellation recovery — automatic waitlist outreach
Treatment plans at 'I'll think about it'
A patient leaves with a recommended crown and says they'll call back. They never do. The plan ages in your system with no follow-up trigger. That revenue was diagnosed — it just wasn't recovered.
→ Module 02: Treatment follow-up sequence

That's before treatment plan follow-up. Most clinics carry another $10k–$50k in diagnosed but unscheduled work.

One system. Four layers.
Most clinics start with missed calls. The real leverage shows up in treatment follow-through and claims ops.
Every clinic starts with Module 01. Each layer adds more workflow coverage — installed only when the previous one is running well.
Start here
Patient Capture
After-hours voice intake answers calls using your clinic's rules and captures name, reason, and urgency. Every missed call triggers an SMS text-back within 60 seconds. Your front desk opens a dashboard each morning with every overnight inquiry organized and actionable — nothing in voicemail, nothing missed.
Layer 2
Front Desk Capacity
Cancellation recovery and no-show follow-up run automatically. Patient recall and reactivation sequences go out on schedule. Treatment plan follow-up happens without the coordinator having to remember. Insurance details are collected from patients before the appointment — so staff starts with a complete file instead of chasing basics.
Layer 3
Treatment Acceptance
After a treatment plan is presented, the workflow takes over. Patients receive a clear summary of what insurance likely covers and what's their responsibility. Unscheduled treatment reminders go out automatically. Financing and payment option follow-up keeps production moving without manual effort.
Layer 4
Claims & Admin Ops
Preauthorization prep and tracking so nothing gets submitted late or incomplete. Claim-status follow-up reminders for aging items. A management reporting dashboard that shows the office manager where production is leaking — missed inquiries, unfilled slots, outstanding treatment, pending preauths.
What this replaces
Before and after.

Most clinics start with Module 01 — patient capture and missed-call recovery. Once that's running, the next layer is usually front desk capacity: cancellation recovery, treatment follow-up, and insurance readiness. Each module is one clear problem, one workflow, measurable outcome.
