Virtual Receptionist · Connecticut
Virtual Receptionist for Connecticut Dental Practices
Virtual reception without the per-minute billing, the hold queue, or the operator who cannot see your schedule. Deployed across Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford and the rest of Connecticut.
High commuter density means most new-patient calls arrive before 8am or after 6pm. That is the local context a virtual receptionist has to work inside.
An automated virtual receptionist inverts both problems. Cost is fixed regardless of call length, and because the system is connected to your PMS the call ends with a confirmed appointment rather than a note.
Connecticut's data privacy act sits alongside HIPAA; dental scheduling data is covered by the BAA.
What changes in the first month
Flat monthly pricing
No per-minute meter, so a busy month does not produce a surprise invoice.
Sees your live schedule
Offers times that actually exist rather than promising a callback.
Consistent every single call
No training gaps, no bad days, no staff turnover at the vendor.
Dental-specific from day one
It knows what a prophy, an SRP and a limited exam are — generic virtual reception does not.

Running a virtual receptionist in Connecticut
Wavez follows your local clock. Greeting, quiet hours, escalation windows and reminder timing are all set to Connecticut time, so a 7am caller and an 11pm caller each get the right treatment.
Coverage is identical statewide — Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Stamford and every smaller community in between run the same configuration, because the software attaches to your phone number rather than to a location.
- Local Connecticut hours and quiet-hour rules
- Signed BAA before any patient data is processed
- Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Curve and Dolphin supported
- English and Spanish handling included
- Flat monthly pricing with no after-hours surcharge

A practice that made the change
My front desk used to drown in the phones. Now she can actually take care of the patients in the office.
