Dental Offices
AI that fills the chair — without burning out the front desk.
Talos builds voice agents and workflow automation tailored to dental practices: 24/7 call answering, automated recall and no-show recovery, with direct PMS integration on our roadmap.
The short answer
AI automates the parts of a dental office that run on the phone. Talos builds a voice agent that answers new-patient calls, reschedules, and emergencies 24/7, plus automated recall outreach to overdue hygiene patients and same-day no-show recovery. Direct integration with Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft and Curve is on our roadmap, and most practices go live in 2–3 weeks.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We build automated recall outreach that contacts overdue hygiene patients by text, email, and voice, so the list works itself instead of waiting for spare front-desk time. Dental clients typically see 2–4x more recall reactivations than they get from manual outreach. The three-location group below tripled reactivations within 90 days.
The AI receptionist answers them. It handles new-patient calls, reschedules, emergencies, and routine questions around the clock, so calls that would have hit voicemail at lunch or after 4pm still get captured. Practices typically move from a 25–40% missed-call rate to under 5%.
The voice agent answers the call your front desk cannot, so there is nothing left to recover afterwards. It picks up during procedures, over lunch, and after 4pm — booking new patients, rescheduling, and triaging emergencies — and routes new-patient intake details into your PMS before the appointment. Practices typically go from a 25–40% missed-call rate to under 5%, and the three-location group below dropped under 4%.
Yes — overflow is the most common starting point. Calls that ring through while your team is with a patient or already on another line reach the AI receptionist instead of voicemail, and it handles new-patient calls, reschedules, and routine questions the same way the front desk would. Anything it should not answer on its own, such as specific insurance or billing questions, is routed to your team.
Direct integration with Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Curve and other dental PMS platforms is on our roadmap. Today the agent books into a connected scheduling calendar, or captures the request for your front desk to confirm in your PMS, so nothing is lost while the direct connection is built.
Yes. We use HIPAA-aware infrastructure, sign a BAA, and design conversation flows to minimize PHI exposure.
It can answer general policy questions and route specifics to your team. We don't replace billing staff — we offload routine calls.
Most dental builds go live in two to three weeks.
