AI receptionist, by dental specialty
Call mix, case value and urgency rules differ enormously between an orthodontic practice and an emergency clinic. Each page below covers how Wavez is configured for that specialty.
AI receptionist for orthodontists
Orthodontic practices live on consultation volume. A single unanswered call about clear aligners is a five-figure treatment plan walking to the practice down the street.
Average case value $5,000–$7,000
AI receptionist for pediatric dentists
Pediatric practices get called by anxious parents at the worst possible hours — early morning before school, and late at night after a playground accident. Coverage, not sales polish, is what wins those families.
Average case value $450–$900
AI receptionist for general dentists
General practices have the broadest call mix in dentistry, which is exactly why the front desk drowns. Hygiene recall, emergencies, insurance questions and new patients all compete for the same two phone lines.
Average case value $650–$1,200
AI receptionist for cosmetic dentists
Cosmetic dentistry has the highest case value and the longest consideration cycle in the industry. The practice that answers the veneer inquiry first — with a real human-sounding conversation — books the consult.
Average case value $8,000–$25,000
AI receptionist for emergency dentists
Emergency dentistry is a pure speed business. The caller is in pain, searching on a phone, and will book with the first practice that answers — every ring you miss is a patient in someone else's chair within four minutes.
Average case value $400–$1,400
AI receptionist for implant dentists
Implant cases are researched for months and decided in a single phone call. The practice that answers with a credible cost range and an immediate CBCT consult wins a $30,000 full-arch case.
Average case value $4,500–$30,000
AI receptionist for oral surgeons
Oral surgery runs on referrals and urgency. A referring office that cannot reach you on the first try sends the patient somewhere else — and rarely tells you why.
Average case value $700–$3,500
AI receptionist for endodontists
Endodontics is referral-driven and pain-driven at the same time. Both call types are urgent, and both are lost permanently if the phone rings out.
Average case value $900–$1,600
AI receptionist for periodontists
Periodontal practices depend on long treatment sequences and disciplined maintenance recall. Both are phone-intensive, and both quietly decay when the front desk is overloaded.
Average case value $1,200–$6,000
AI receptionist for prosthodontists
Prosthodontic cases are long, expensive and heavily coordinated. Every dropped call costs either a large case or a lab-timeline slip that costs staff hours to repair.
Average case value $3,500–$40,000
