AI receptionist for dental offices
An AI receptionist for a dental office answers the calls your front desk can't get to, books cleanings and new-patient visits into your calendar, answers approved questions about hours and insurance, and routes tooth pain and swelling to your staff. Nth Theory sets up Friday for North Georgia dental practices, and she never gives clinical advice.

Front desk is texted the details before the patient arrives.
New to town, needs a cleaning
“We just moved here and need a dentist for the whole family.”
Friday: Explains new-patient visits, takes each family member's name and the best number, and books the first visits.
New-patient appointments on the calendar and a summary for your team.
“Do you take my insurance?”

How Friday handles dental emergencies
Your practice sets the rules. A typical setup: a caller with a toothache, a broken tooth, or a lost crown is offered your same-day emergency slot and your staff is alerted. After hours, Friday follows your after-hours policy, such as passing the call to the on-call dentist or booking the first opening the next morning.
If a caller describes facial swelling with fever, trouble breathing or swallowing, or heavy bleeding after an injury, Friday tells them to go to the emergency room or call 911. She doesn't diagnose or give medical advice.
Hand-off to your front desk
Billing disputes, treatment questions, anxious patients, and anything about a specific patient's care go to your team. Friday passes them along with the caller's name, number, and reason for calling, so your front desk can call back already knowing what it's about.
We set Friday up to collect only what your front desk needs to book: name, phone, reason for the visit, and whether they're a new or existing patient. We'll walk through how call information is handled before anything goes live.
