What a missed call costs a Sault Ste. Marie dental office

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 is a text-back system that runs the second you miss a call. The caller gets a real reply, not a voicemail loop. You get a structured lead with the basics filled in.
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 for almost every plan tier. If Avidra catches one dental lead in the trial that would have gone to voicemail, you're already ahead on the year. The trial period is 14 days, so the math has the chance to prove itself before you're paying.
How you wire it up
Avidra runs two ways. Keep your existing business number and forward to Avidra only when you can't pick up. The caller reaches you first. The AI handles the miss. Or use the Avidra number directly and let AI pick up every call, transferring to you when the caller asks. Most shops start with the first setup. The second works better once you've grown past one person on the phone.
The Free tier includes both AI voice answering and SMS text-back, so the pickup-mode choice doesn't cost extra.
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.

Calls dental offices in Sault Ste. Marie actually take
Most of these will look familiar. Treatment plan question after a recent visit. Invisalign consult booking. Recall hygiene appointment booking. New patient exam booking with insurance verification. 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. Post-extraction bleeding that hasn't slowed. Knocked-out tooth from a sports injury. 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.
Setup is short
Setup is a 10-digit phone number and a short script. You forward your missed calls to the Avidra number that gets assigned at signup. You edit the default intake script to match how you talk to a new lead. That's the whole setup.
Most owners run their first real test inside an hour of signing up. The honest test is to miss a call on purpose from a friend's phone and watch what happens. The text fires. The follow-up questions land. You see the lead summary on your phone.
The five-second window
Speed is the whole game. A caller who got voicemail and then got a confirmation email twenty minutes later has already booked the next number on the list. A text-back inside five seconds reads as a real reply. The caller responds while they're still mentally on the call. The human callback then lands into a warm conversation, not a cold one.
Common questions
What if a patient wants pricing?
The script defers pricing to a callback from the front desk. Avidra never quotes.
Will it handle insurance claim follow-up calls?
It captures the inquiry and routes it to the billing team.
Can it tell the patient your office hours?
Yes. Hours are part of the standard script.
Will it book appointments directly?
Booking is the front desk's call. Avidra captures the request and the preferred timing.
Will it work with our existing PMS?
The lead summary webhooks into most practice-management systems.
