AI Receptionist for Implant Dental Practices
A voice AI that answers every call in under two seconds, books directly into your practice management system, and never takes a lunch break. Configured for the call mix a implant dental practice actually receives.
The phrase "AI receptionist" covers a wide range of products, from menu-driven bots that read a script to systems that hold an unstructured conversation and write to your schedule. The distinction matters commercially: a bot that collects a name and number is a voicemail box with better manners, while a system that books the appointment is a revenue instrument.
In a implant dental practice the stakes are different from general dentistry. 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.
Implant practices generally recover the annual cost of Wavez from a single full-arch case. Practices typically recover 15–30 additional booked appointments a month from calls that previously went unanswered.
What a AI receptionist handles in a implant dental practice
Shares are typical for this kind of practice. Wavez reports your real split from the first week.
A implant dentist call handled end to end
I lost most of my upper teeth. What does All-on-4 run here?
Upper arch cases here are typically $22,000 to $27,000 including the CBCT, surgery and final prosthesis, with financing from around $340 a month. Dr. Haddad has a scan-and-consult slot Monday at 10am — shall I hold it?
Yes, please.
Held. I've texted the medical-history form and a financing pre-qualification link so Monday can be spent on your plan rather than paperwork.

AI Receptionist, tuned to implant dentist workflows
Wavez sits firmly in the second category. It reads live availability from Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Curve or Dolphin before offering a time, writes the appointment back atomically so double-booking is impossible, and sends the confirmation SMS before the caller has hung up.
Implant practices commonly pair Dentrix or Open Dental with separate CBCT scheduling; Wavez can book both in one call.
- Full-arch (per arch) — typically $24,000: A single recovered call can exceed annual front-desk salary.
- Single implant + crown — typically $4,600: The volume backbone of most implant practices.
- Bone graft — typically $900: Usually bundled; explained during the booking call.
- CBCT consult — typically $350: The conversion event Wavez is optimised to book.
The objections worth taking seriously
Can it discuss bone grafting credibly? It answers from the explanations your clinicians write, at the depth you allow, and hands anything clinical beyond that to the doctor. It never speculates.
Does it pre-qualify for financing? It sends your lender's pre-qualification link during the call and records the response against the appointment.
Will patients know they are talking to AI? Wavez discloses that it is an automated assistant when asked, and many practices choose to disclose upfront. Callers overwhelmingly care that the call was answered and the appointment was booked.
Does an AI receptionist replace staff? It removes phone load. Most practices redeploy their front desk to treatment coordination and insurance follow-up rather than reducing headcount.

A practice that made the change
We replaced two contract receptionists and got better coverage. The math wasn’t even close.
