AI Receptionist for dental implant clinics
A dental implant enquiry is worth £2,500. Pick up every time.
Ava is the AI receptionist for dental implant clinics that answers every enquiry, explains single and full-arch options clearly, and books the consultation — including 0% finance — 24/7.
A single unanswered implant enquiry costs £2,500–£3,500 in case revenue, or up to £25,000 for a full-arch patient. Miss five calls a week and you forgo £650,000+ annually.
The short answer
The problem
Implant patients research for weeks before they call. By the time they dial your number, they're ready to book. If you miss that call — or call back an hour later — they've moved on to the clinic that answered.
What Ava does
Ava answers every implant enquiry, explains single implants, implant bridges, and full-arch solutions (All-on-4, All-on-6) in clear terms, captures the number of missing teeth and timeline, and books the implant consultation — with financing options mentioned where appropriate.
A single implant: £2,500–£3,500. Full arch: £12,000–£25,000. One implant case a week from answered calls = £130,000–£180,000 additional annual revenue.
How does Ava handle a dental implant enquiry?
Ava answers immediately, identifies whether the caller needs a single implant, a bridge or full-arch, explains the option in plain terms, mentions finance if you offer it, and books the consultation from your live diary. She captures the number of missing teeth and timeline for your clinical team.
An implant caller is rarely browsing. They've lost a tooth, researched the fix, and decided. Ava matches that readiness by moving the conversation toward a booked consultation rather than handing out a vague callback promise.
She frames cost the right way, giving a realistic all-in range and pointing to the free consultation for an exact quote. Where you offer 0% finance she raises it unprompted, because cost is the single biggest barrier on a four or five-figure case.
The booking writes into Pabau or your PMS with case context attached, so the implantologist knows before the consult whether they're seeing a straightforward single-unit or a full-arch rehabilitation.
Why does a missed implant call cost so much, and how much?
Implant callers are pre-qualified and ready. A missed single-implant enquiry costs £2,500–£3,500, and a missed full-arch enquiry up to £25,000. Miss five calls a week and you forgo more than £650,000 a year in case revenue.
The weeks of research that precede the call are exactly what make a miss so painful. The caller has already decided to spend the money. They are simply choosing where. A voicemail tells them you weren't ready for their business.
Full-arch cases magnify the risk. One All-on-4 patient at £20,000 is worth as much as twenty routine checkups. Letting that call ring out, or returning it an hour later when they've booked elsewhere, is the most expensive mistake an implant clinic's phone can make.
Ava removes the gap. She answers on the first ring, day or night, and books the consultation while the caller is still motivated, so the high-value case stays in your diary.
Can Ava mention finance and qualify readiness without giving clinical advice?
Yes. Ava proactively mentions 0% finance or payment plans where you offer them, and asks light questions about general health and previous extractions to flag cases needing extra assessment. She books and captures, she never gives clinical or suitability advice, which stays with your clinician.
Finance is often the deciding factor on a £12,000 arch. Raising it early, rather than waiting for the patient to ask, removes the price barrier and keeps the booking on track. Ava does this naturally inside the conversation.
On qualifying, she gathers context, when the tooth was lost, any relevant health conditions, whether they've been quoted elsewhere, and flags anything that warrants a longer or specialist assessment. She does not assess bone density or declare suitability. That is a clinical judgement for your team.
This split keeps you on the right side of GDC expectations. Ava handles logistics and reassurance. Your implantologist handles the clinical decision, fully briefed by the summary Ava captured.

Hear it in action
This is what your callers hear.
- Hello, Apex Implant Centre — how can I help?
- I had a tooth out two years ago and I want to get it replaced. I think I need an implant?
- That sounds like a great candidate for a single implant. Two years is fine — bone typically remains suitable for quite a while after extraction. Can I book a free implant consultation for you?
- Yes, roughly how much does it cost?
- A single implant with us is typically between £2,500 and £3,200 all-in, and we offer 0% finance. The consultation is free and will give you an exact quote.
Before you choose
What to look for in an AI receptionist for implant clinics.
Confident, accurate treatment explanations
On a £20,000 case the receptionist must explain single, bridge and full-arch options credibly. Vague answers cost trust. Test it on an All-on-4 enquiry.
Proactive finance handling
Cost is the main barrier on implants. The system should raise your 0% finance or payment plans unprompted, while booking the consultation for the exact quote.
Clinical/non-clinical boundary
It must qualify and flag without giving suitability advice. Confirm it captures health context for your team rather than making a clinical call itself.
Case context into your PMS
Bookings in Pabau or Dentally should carry teeth missing, timeline and finance interest, so the implantologist reviews the case before the consult.
Common questions
Everything you’re wondering.
Can Ava explain the difference between single implants, bridges, and full-arch solutions?
Yes. Ava explains each option in plain terms — ideal candidates, treatment duration, and typical investment — helping patients arrive at consultations informed and ready to proceed.
Can Ava mention financing options during the call?
Yes. Where you offer 0% finance or payment plans, Ava can mention these proactively to remove the price barrier for callers concerned about cost.
How does Ava handle callers who've been quoted elsewhere and are comparing?
Ava acknowledges they're comparing, highlights your unique value points (clinician experience, guarantees, technology), and books a consultation — letting your clinician close the case in person.
Can Ava triage implant readiness (bone density, health conditions)?
Ava asks qualifying questions about general health and previous extractions, flagging cases that may need additional assessment so your clinical team can prepare appropriately.
Implant patients research for weeks. How does Ava treat a call that's ready to book?
She treats it as the warm, decision-ready call it is. By the time someone dials an implant clinic they've already researched. Ava confirms the case, mentions finance, and books the consultation immediately, rather than risking a callback that lets them move to the clinic that picked up.
Can Ava handle full-arch All-on-4 enquiries differently from single implants?
Yes. Ava recognises a full-arch enquiry as a £12,000–£25,000 case, explains All-on-4 and All-on-6 in plain terms, raises finance proactively, and books an extended consultation, flagging it to your clinical team as a complex case.
Does Ava book into implant clinic software?
Yes. Ava integrates with Dentally, Software of Excellence (Exact), Carestream R4 and Pabau, logging the number of missing teeth, timeline and finance interest so your implantologist reviews the case before the consultation.
Pricing
Ava pays for herself on call one.
A single implant: £2,500–£3,500. Full arch: £12,000–£25,000. One implant case a week from answered calls = £130,000–£180,000 additional annual revenue. Plans from £397/mo. One recovered job a month covers it — everything else is pure upside.
