AI voice is finally good enough to handle real dental scheduling—multi-kid, reschedules, emergencies, the works. Dr. Miles Beckett (MD turned serial founder) shares Flossy’s journey from a dental discount marketplace to “Fiona,” an AI receptionist that answers calls, books new patients, reschedules, triages, and lifts after-hours conversion. We dig into latency, PMS integrations, scheduling logic, onboarding, and what DSOs must measure to stop leaking marketing dollars.50%+ dental appointments still happen by phone; ~80% of calls are scheduling-related.“Voicemail is the worst scheduling tool”—speed matters; conversions drop after minutes.Fiona handles: answer, new bookings, reschedule/cancel, FAQs, emergency triage.Differentiator: hyper-custom scheduling logic per treatment type + PMS integration.Onboarding uses PMS data + LLM analysis of historical patterns to draft rules, then QA.Typical buyer journey: start after-hours → add overflow → selective daytime coverage.Mindset shift: not replacing humans—first capture missed demand, then augment teams.#Dental #DSO #DentalTech #DentalOperations #PatientExperience #AI #VoiceAI #PracticeManagement #Scheduling #HealthcareTech
