What a missed call costs a Markham dental office

Phone rings first·Text-back under 5 seconds·30-day guarantee

It's recall season. The front desk is on the phone with insurance about a denied claim. A new-patient call comes in. They got the front desk's voicemail and the call went to the practice across town.

What Avidra does

Avidra answers your phone with AI voice the moment a call lands. The caller hears a real voice. You get a structured lead summary on your phone, the same way a text would arrive.

The text doesn't replace the human conversation. It buys time for it. You still call back. You still close the job. Avidra just makes sure the lead is warm and the basics about the patients are in your inbox before you do.

Where the math breaks even

Break-even is one recovered job a month on either paid tier. The free plan has no time limit and needs no card, so you can watch Avidra catch a real dental lead that would have gone to voicemail before you decide to pay for anything.

Pick a pickup mode

You decide who picks up first. Run the human-first mode: your phone rings, and Avidra only steps in if the call goes unanswered. Or run the AI-first mode: Avidra picks up live and transfers when the caller wants a human. Most shops start human-first because the customer relationship still flows through you. AI-first makes sense once the volume is past what one person can handle.

Free tier includes SMS text-back and lead capture at $0. If you want the AI to actually answer the call, that starts on Pro.

The phone end of your practice

Avidra owns the phone end of your practice. It picks up calls, runs the qualifier, captures the booking request, and relays the messages you ask it to send. Everything past the phone stays with you. Scheduling, billing, charting, treatment planning all live in your existing tools.

It doesn't book the appointment. It doesn't verify insurance. It doesn't quote coverage. The text captures the request and tells the patient a person will follow up. Everything that needs a human voice stays with your front desk.

The math on your missed calls

The numbers on a dental office your size.

6 calls/week missed×$600 avg appointment=$3,600 / week=$15,600 / month=$187,200 / year

Fewer than 3% of patients pushed to voicemail leave a message. They call the next dental office on Google.

→Avidra catches them in 4.2 seconds.

The promise

If Avidra doesn't pay for itself in 30 days, I refund everything and disconnect you myself.

No forms. No retention call.

Asad

Calls dental offices in Markham actually take

Here's what your line catches on a normal week. Emergency tooth pain that started overnight. New patient exam booking with insurance verification. Denture adjustment for a long-time patient. Cracked molar after biting on something hard. Pick up first and the patient stays on your books. Pick up second and they call the practice across town.

Off-hours calls run differently. Tighter questions, less willingness to wait for a callback in the morning. Knocked-out tooth from a sports injury. Post-extraction bleeding that hasn't slowed. The practice that books fastest keeps the patient.

What the year looks like

January spike when insurance benefits reset. Steady through the year with a dip in mid-summer and another late December.

For most dental offices, the call volume isn't flat. You probably already plan staffing and on-call coverage around the peaks. Avidra runs the same in busy season as in slow. No per-call charges, no surge pricing when the inbox gets loud.

Getting Avidra answering your phone

Setup is two minutes. You connect your business number to Avidra, either by porting it or by setting your existing line to ring the Avidra number. The AI picks up from then on. You edit the default intake script to sound like your office, and the first real call uses your voice and your business name.

Most owners are live before lunch on the day they sign up. The honest test is to call your own line and have the AI answer. The questions land. The summary fires. You see the intake on your phone.

Why live pickup beats voicemail

Voicemail is where service leads go to die. A homeowner who hits voicemail at 7pm and gets a callback at 9am has already booked the next name on the list. Avidra picks up live, so the conversation starts in the first ring. By the time the caller would have hung up on voicemail, the AI has already captured the caller's name and address along with the basics of the call. The follow-up callback then lands into a warm conversation, not a cold one.

Common questions

Will it work with our existing PMS?

The lead summary webhooks into most practice-management systems.

Can the script accept other languages?

Yes. A second-language script can be configured.

Can it tell the patient your office hours?

Yes. Hours are part of the standard script.

Can it ask about insurance up front?

Yes. The intake captures insurance provider and policy number if the patient is willing to share them by text.

Will it handle dental emergencies?

Yes. Emergencies are flagged and the lead summary pushes to the top of the inbox. Most practices set after-hours scripts to direct urgent cases to an on-call line.
