The Problem

Generic AI wasn't built for dental. Flexbone was.

Most AI phone solutions were built for physician offices — simple appointment-in, appointment-out. Dental practices operate on completely different logic.

Treatment plans span multiple visits across different block types with different providers, and insurance works differently too. Pre-determination isn't pre-authorization. Block scheduling isn't time-slot scheduling. If the AI doesn't understand dental, it creates more work than it solves.

Flexbone AI Active
Inbound Patient Call
Patient"Hi, I need to come back for my crown. Dr. Reyes said I need the prep and then the seat visit."
Flexbone"I can see your treatment plan. I'll book your crown prep with Dr. Reyes — she has an operative block open next Tuesday at 10 AM. Then your crown seat two weeks later on March 4th at 11 AM, after the lab turnaround. Does that work?"
Patient"That's perfect."

Treatment Plan–Based Scheduling

A single patient may need a consult, two prep visits, a crown seat, and a follow-up — each with different block types, durations, and providers. Generic schedulers can't sequence these correctly.

Multi-Visit Coordination

Implant cases, ortho adjustments, phased restorative work — dental patients need coordinated visit sequences, not one-off appointments. Front desk staff spend hours managing this by hand.

Pre-Determination ≠ Pre-Authorization

Dental insurance uses pre-determination and benefit verification, not the prior auth workflows medical AI was trained on. Different payer portals, different forms, different rules entirely.

Block Scheduling Complexity

Hygiene blocks, operative blocks, surgical blocks, emergency slots — dental scheduling templates are uniquely structured. AI that doesn't understand block types creates chaos in the schedule.

What We Automate

AI agents that understand dental from day one

Every workflow is built around how dental practices actually operate — not retrofitted from a medical template.

01

Inbound Call Handling & Triage

AI answers every call — new patient intake, appointment requests, post-op questions, billing inquiries. Understands dental terminology, triages by urgency (emergency extractions vs. routine cleanings), and routes complex cases to the right team member.

New Patient IntakeEmergency TriageCall RoutingAfter-Hours
02

Treatment Plan Scheduling

Coordinates multi-visit treatment plans across hygiene, operative, and surgical blocks. Respects provider preferences, required intervals between visits, lab turnaround times, and patient availability — then books the full sequence in one call.

Multi-Visit SequencingBlock-Type MatchingProvider PreferencesLab Coordination
03

Insurance Pre-Determination & Benefits

Handles dental-specific insurance workflows — pre-determination submissions, benefit breakdowns by CDT code, frequency limitations (BWX every 6 months, pano every 3–5 years), remaining annual maximums, and waiting period calculations. No more manually checking each patient's plan.

04

Hygiene Recalls & Reactivation

Proactive outbound campaigns for overdue hygiene patients, perio maintenance schedules, and reactivation of lapsed patients. AI calls patients directly, handles objections, and books them into the right hygiene block — filling your schedule without your team lifting a finger.

05

Oral Surgery Coordination

For oral surgery practices and referral-heavy workflows — manages referring dentist communications, coordinates surgical consultations, handles pre-op and post-op instructions, and processes referral paperwork. Keeps the referring office in the loop automatically.

For DSOs

Built for the multi-location dental reality

DSOs face the same challenge at scale: standardizing operations across acquisitions with different systems, different staff, and different workflows. Flexbone deploys a consistent AI layer across every location — same patient experience, same operational efficiency, centralized visibility.

Flexbone AI platform architecture
Centralized

Centralized Call Handling Across All Locations

One AI system, consistent patient experience. Deploy across 5 or 500 offices with the same workflows. Every location sounds the same to patients.

Cross-PMS

Standardize Across Acquisitions

New acquisition running Dentrix while the rest are on Eaglesoft? Flexbone works across PMS platforms without migration. No rip-and-replace.

Analytics

Portfolio-Wide Reporting

Call volume, conversion rates, no-show rates, and scheduling efficiency — across every location, in one dashboard. See which offices need attention before problems escalate.

Staffing

Reduce Front Desk Dependency

Staff turnover at dental front desks averages 30%+ annually. AI handles the volume so your team focuses on in-office patients. New hires ramp in days, not months.

The Difference

How It Works

Live in four weeks

No multi-month IT project. No rip-and-replace. Flexbone deploys into your existing workflows in four focused sprints.

Patient Call Inbound or Outbound AI Triage Intent + Block Type PMS Lookup Treatment Plan + Schedule Resolution Or Warm Handoff Post-Call PMS Write + Tasks
01

Week 1 — Discovery & Mapping

Our team learns your practice inside and out — block schedule templates, provider preferences, treatment plan workflows, insurance payer mix, PMS setup. We map every workflow the AI needs to handle.

02

Week 2 — Build & Integration

We configure your AI agents, connect to your PMS, and set up call routing, treatment plan logic, escalation protocols, and post-call automations. Everything is tested against your real workflows before a single patient call goes live.

03

Week 3 — Go-Live

Calls start flowing through the AI. We monitor performance in real time and your team has full visibility into every call, every outcome, and every metric.

04

Week 4 — Optimize & Harden

We tune accuracy, iterate with your team daily, and lock in performance. Ongoing optimization continues as your practice evolves — new providers, new locations, new scheduling rules.

Integrations

Works with your existing systems

Flexbone integrates with the practice management systems you already use. No migrations. No disruption. Real-time data sync.
