Voice AI Receptionist · Michigan
Voice AI Receptionist for Michigan Dental Practices
Sub-two-second response, natural interruption handling, and dental-specific vocabulary that does not mangle "periapical". Deployed across Detroit, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor and the rest of Michigan.
Auto-industry shift work produces call volume at hours no traditional front desk covers. That is the local context a voice AI receptionist has to work inside.
Wavez is tuned on dental call audio: procedure names, plan names, and the specific way patients describe pain. Combined with sub-two-second turn-taking, that is what makes the calls sound like calls rather than like a phone tree.
Michigan follows HIPAA; the BAA governs dental appointment and caller data.

Running a voice AI receptionist in Michigan
Wavez follows your local clock. Greeting, quiet hours, escalation windows and reminder timing are all set to Michigan time, so a 7am caller and an 11pm caller each get the right treatment.
Coverage is identical statewide — Detroit, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Lansing and every smaller community in between run the same configuration, because the software attaches to your phone number rather than to a location.
- Local Michigan 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.
