Eaglesoft AI front desk

Dentovox is an AI front desk for Eaglesoft practices. It answers every inbound call in English or Spanish, connects to Eaglesoft via NexHealth, and books the appointment into your schedule during the call. It also sends two-way SMS reminders, fills cancellations from a waitlist, and escalates urgent calls to your on-call team.

Your team keeps the conversations that need a human. The phone stops eating the rest of the day.

Every call, every hour

Nights, lunch, Saturdays, and the third simultaneous ring — none of them reach voicemail.

🌎

English or Spanish

Language is detected inside the call, so a Spanish-speaking caller books as easily as anyone else.

Booked in Eaglesoft

Through NexHealth, the confirmed appointment lands on your schedule before the call ends.

Emergencies escalated

Urgent calls go to the on-call team by your rules. Never a substitute for 911.

The front desk problem isn't scheduling. It's simultaneity.

A dental front desk is one or two people doing six jobs at once: checking a patient out, verifying something for the hygienist, taking a payment, and answering a phone that rings while all of that is happening. Nothing is broken — there is simply one of them and three callers. The calls that lose are the ones that ring during checkout, at 12:40, or ten minutes after close. Those callers rarely leave a message; they call the next practice on the list.

An AI front desk fixes that specific failure. It picks up the second, third, and fourth simultaneous call, works the whole conversation to a booked appointment, and hands everything else to your staff with context attached. Your team's job doesn't change — the number of interruptions does.

How Dentovox connects to Eaglesoft

Dentovox reaches Eaglesoft through NexHealth, the integration platform that maintains the connection to the practice management system. There is no separate scheduling app for patients to learn, no second calendar for your team to reconcile, and no migration. Eaglesoft remains the single schedule of record; Dentovox reads availability from it and writes confirmed appointments back into it.

Dentovox is an independent product and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Patterson Dental. Whether your particular Eaglesoft environment can be connected is confirmed with NexHealth during onboarding, before you commit — an honest yes or no up front rather than a surprise in week two.

The right-hand column is the important one. Dentovox writes appointments and patient contact details, and that is the whole of its footprint. It does not post to the ledger, submit claims, check eligibility, adjust fees, chart treatment, or write clinical notes.

What happens after the call

Booking is only half of a front desk's job; keeping the booking is the other half. Two-way SMS reminders go out in the language the patient used, and a reply confirms or reschedules without anyone picking up a phone. When a cancellation does come in, the slot is offered to the waitlist automatically and usually refills itself. Over a longer horizon, reactivation works the patients who quietly stopped coming and reports the revenue it brought back. The call-handling engine behind all of this is described on the AI receptionist page, and the booking rules — including the guard that makes one provider plus one slot equal exactly one appointment — on the scheduling page.

Security, HIPAA, and audit

PHI is encrypted, each practice's data is isolated from every other practice's, and every action taken on a call is recorded in an audit log you can review. A BAA is signed before Dentovox touches real patient data — see the security overview and the BAA. Calls may be recorded for quality and training, and patients are handled accordingly.

Timeline and pricing

Connection is usually complete within a day once access is arranged. The onboarding conversation covers your escalation rules, which calls should always reach a person, appointment types and lengths, and how you want the AI to introduce itself. Plans are the same across every supported system: Starter $249, Core $399, Growth $599, and Multi/DSO $899 per location per month, with 15% off annual billing. Bilingual coverage is included at every tier, not sold as an add-on.

Honest limits

Dentovox answers, books, reminds, reactivates, and escalates. It does not verify insurance, take payments, give clinical advice, or replace a human for anything that needs judgment. It speaks English and Spanish. It is not an emergency service. And the Eaglesoft connection depends on NexHealth's coverage of your environment — which is why that is checked first.

Frequently asked questions

What does an AI front desk do for an Eaglesoft practice?

It answers inbound calls the office cannot get to — after hours, at lunch, and when every line is busy — handles them in English or Spanish, and books the appointment into the Eaglesoft schedule during the call through NexHealth. It also sends two-way SMS reminders and escalates urgent calls to the on-call team.

Does Dentovox replace our front desk staff?

No. It covers the calls that currently go to voicemail and takes routine booking off the team's plate. Treatment discussions, financial conversations, insurance questions, and anything requiring judgment go to your staff, with the message and context already captured.

What happens when a caller asks for a person?

The call is routed to your team according to the rules you set during onboarding. If nobody is available — after hours, for example — the AI captures the reason for the call and the callback details so the office starts the next morning with context instead of a voicemail light.

How does an emergency call get handled?

Urgent calls are recognized and escalated to your on-call team following your escalation rules. Dentovox is not an emergency service and is not a substitute for 911; a caller describing a medical emergency is directed to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Does Dentovox connect to Eaglesoft directly?

No. Dentovox connects to Eaglesoft through NexHealth, which maintains the integration layer to the practice management system. Dentovox is an independent product and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Patterson Dental. Coverage of your specific Eaglesoft environment is confirmed with NexHealth during onboarding.

What does it cost and how quickly can we start?

Starter is $249, Core $399, Growth $599, and Multi/DSO $899 per location per month, with 15% off annual billing. Connection is usually complete within a day once access is arranged, and a BAA is signed before Dentovox works with real patient data.
