The Cost of a Missed Call

What every unanswered call costs your business

$750

avg first-year value of one missed new-patient call

A new patient who books is worth $500–1,000 in year-one revenue. When that call hits voicemail during lunch or after 5 PM, they call the next practice on Google. Beyond new patients: one unfilled hygiene hour costs $150–250, and every short-notice cancellation that stays empty is direct profit lost. Otofi catches both, new-patient calls and last-minute gaps.

What Otofi Handles

Call types managed for dental practices

Otofi is an AI phone agent that answers and makes calls for dental practices, books appointments in Dentrix, Open Dental, or Eaglesoft, and hands off to staff when needed.

1

New patient booking with insurance capture

Collects name, date of birth, insurance carrier and member ID, and preferred appointment type before hanging up. Writes directly into your PMS schedule.

2

Emergency calls → same-day slot logic

Callers describing a chipped tooth, severe pain, or swelling are offered the first available same-day opening. If none exist, the agent escalates to your on-call line, it never gives clinical advice.

3

Recall and hygiene-overdue outreach

Otofi calls patients who are 3–6 months overdue for a cleaning, confirms a slot, and updates the schedule, without a single staff member picking up the phone.

4

Short-notice cancellation → ASAP list

When a patient cancels with less than 48 hours' notice, Otofi immediately starts calling down your ASAP list to fill the chair before the slot goes cold.

5

Insurance and payment questions

Answers common questions about accepted plans and payment options from your approved scripts. Transfers to billing staff for anything outside that scope.

6

Appointment confirmations and 48-hour reminders

Calls or texts patients 48 hours before their appointment. Captures confirmations and flags non-responses for staff follow-up.

7

Post-procedure instructions

Delivers owner-approved post-care instructions after extractions, fillings, or whitening treatments. Answers common follow-up questions; escalates anything clinical.

Inbound & Outbound

Coverage in both directions

Inbound

Every inbound call (new patients, existing patients, emergencies, questions) is answered instantly, day or night. Otofi follows your call flows exactly: collects the information your team needs, books into the right provider's schedule, and transfers to a human the moment a situation needs one. Your front desk handles only the calls that genuinely need them.

Outbound

Otofi places outbound recall calls, ASAP-list fill calls, and 48-hour confirmation calls on your behalf. Outbound calls to existing patients are placed with appropriate consent. TCPA compliance is your responsibility for any calls to numbers on the national Do Not Call registry, consult counsel if you are unsure about your list. Call recording is active on all lines; state-specific consent disclosures are configured at setup.

Compliance & Control

What's recorded, who can listen, and how escalation works

Otofi operates in a HIPAA-ready configuration. Protected health information collected on calls (patient names, dates of birth, insurance details, appointment reasons) is handled under a Business Associate Agreement available on request. Call recordings are encrypted at rest and in transit; access is limited to authorized users in your account. Otofi never provides clinical advice. Any caller describing symptoms, pain, or a potential emergency is routed immediately to your designated on-call contact. Recording consent disclosures are configured to match your state's requirements before go-live.
