What can dental practice automation do for your team?

It takes the repetitive marketing admin off your week: handing each new enquiry to your front desk, building the report and moving advertising and website data between your tools. It does not open your appointment book, so it does not run recall or send reminders to patients. Every automation sends to your front desk only.

On the Growth plan, $3,490 a month + GST, together with live chat · Month to month

What does the automation actually do?

Four jobs. Each one says what the automation does and what a person on your team still does.

Automation: Reads each new enquiry from your website forms, the chat widget, your ad lead forms and Meta messages, qualifies it (the reason, the service, the time that suits) and sends it to your front desk by email and SMS inside 3 minutes.

Your team: Calls or emails the person back, and books them in your own software.

Front-desk workflow · 24/7

Is this practice-management software?

No. Your practice software keeps the appointment book, recall and patient reminders. Our automation works on the marketing side: your Google Ads and Meta accounts, your website and its chat widget, GA4 and GoHighLevel CRM. It sends what it finds to your front desk by email and SMS, and stops there.

  • What other dental AI products promise

    Some book appointments, run recall and reshuffle the chair schedule inside your practice software. We do not sell those jobs, because they need your appointment book and your patient records.

  • Which tools it connects to

    The website chat widget, Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and GoHighLevel CRM. Each one is connected only after you sign our onboarding form and give us access.

Who is this for?

A practice where marketing admin is getting in the way of the front desk.

  • An empty dental treatment room ready for the next appointment, morning sun on a garden of grevillea and gum trees

    Chairs to fill. You can take more new patients, and enquiries are coming in from your ads and your website.

  • A receptionist at the front desk helping a person at the counter, the desk phone beside her

    Enquiries that wait. New enquiries sit in an inbox while the front desk is with a patient, or after you close.

  • A practice manager at a desk at dusk, comparing printed spreadsheets beside a laptop and a calculator

    A report built by hand. Someone on your team pulls the marketing numbers together each month.

Not for you if you want your appointment book automated, recall or reminders sent to patients, or the cheapest bot on the market. Those are jobs for practice software, not for this service.

What happens to an enquiry at 8:47pm?

The workflow runs 24/7. Your front desk does not have to. Here is one evening, with a sample enquiry.

  • 8:47pm: the enquiry arrives

    A website form: a new patient, and Saturday mornings suit.

  • 8:49pm: ready for your front desk

    Qualified and sent to your front desk by email and SMS inside 3 minutes on Growth, and logged.

  • Overnight: nothing else happens

    Nothing is sent to the person who enquired. Nothing is booked. No price or offer goes out.

  • 8:00am: your team calls back

    The front desk opens to the name, the number and the reason, and starts from there.

A sample enquiry, not a client’s. When your team calls back is up to your practice.

What our agents will not do

The same limits apply on every plan.

  • Book, move or cancel appointments
  • Answer your phones
  • Run recall or send reminders to patients
  • Message patients or people who enquired
  • Give clinical advice or decide what is urgent
  • See your practice software, My Health Record, healthcare identifiers or Medicare numbers

Frequently asked questions

If your question is not here, ask it in your strategy session.

Is this practice-management software?

No. Your practice software keeps the appointment book; our automation works on the marketing side.

JobYour practice softwareOur automation
Appointment book, recall, patient remindersYesNo
Clinical notes and billingYesNo
Enquiries from your ads and websiteNot its jobQualified and handed to your front desk
The marketing reportNot its jobBuilt and sent to your team

The automation hands what it finds to your front desk and stops there. It never connects to Dental4Windows, Praktika, Dentally, Core Practice or any other practice-management system.

What it gives your front desk instead is a head start: each new enquiry arrives qualified, with the name, the number and the reason, so nobody starts from zero.

Will it run recall or reactivation?

No. Recall needs your appointment book and patient records, and our agents never see either.

Recall and reactivation work from who is due back and when. That information lives in your practice software, so recall stays there, run by your team.

What the automation does instead stays on the marketing side:

  • Hands each new enquiry to your front desk, qualified, with the name, the number and the reason
  • Reminds your team when an enquiry is still waiting for a reply
  • Builds and sends the marketing report, so nobody builds it by hand

If recall is the job you need done, your practice software is the place to look, not this service.

Will it text or email patients, or the people who enquired?

No. Every automation sends to your front desk only.

Nothing goes to a patient or to the person who enquired: no texts, no emails, no booking links and no offers. The automation qualifies the enquiry and sends it to your front desk by email and SMS, with the name, the number and the reason.

Your team then decides:

  • Whether to call or email back
  • When to reply, within your own hours
  • What to say, including any price or offer

This keeps every message to a patient with a person at your practice. It also means the automation cannot invent a fee, a time or a clinical result in a message, because it sends none.

What does “inside 3 minutes” mean, and which plan includes it?

On Growth and Group, a new enquiry is qualified and sent to your front desk by email and SMS inside 3 minutes.

It measures how fast your team has the enquiry in front of them. It does not measure how fast the person is called back. That part is up to your practice.

Plan, a month + GSTInside 3 minutes
Foundation, $1,990Not included
Growth, $3,490Included
Group, from $5,990Included

The workflow runs 24/7, so an enquiry that arrives at night is ready when your team opens. Prices are as of October 2026.

Is it included on Foundation at $1,990 a month?

No. Foundation includes neither the automation nor the website chat.

FoundationGrowthGroup
A month + GST$1,990$3,490From $5,990
Google Ads and SEOYesYesYes
Meta ads, AI search, Google Business ProfileNoYesYes
Website chat and automationNoYesYes
Custom agentsNoNoYes

Foundation covers Google Ads and SEO. Growth adds Meta ads, AI search visibility, Google Business Profile management, the website chat and the automation. Group adds custom agents.

If you start on Foundation, the chat and the automation begin when you move to Growth. Plans are month to month, so you can move up a plan at your next billing date. The full comparison is on pricing.

Do I pay for automation and live chat separately?

No. They come together on the Growth plan: one plan, not two retainers.

Growth is $3,490 a month + GST, as of October 2026. It includes:

  • Everything in Foundation: Google Ads and SEO
  • Meta ads, with at least $1,500 a month in ad spend paid to Meta
  • AI search visibility and Google Business Profile management
  • Website chat that hands enquiries to your front desk
  • Automation: enquiries sent to your front desk by email and SMS inside 3 minutes, and automatic reporting

Every plan is month to month, and ad spend is a separate bill paid directly to Google and Meta, with no markup. If you need an agent the standard ones do not cover, custom agents are on Group, from $5,990 a month + GST.

Which tools does it connect to?

Five tools on the marketing side, and never your practice software.

  • Website chat widget: questions and enquiries on your website
  • Google Ads: lead forms and the campaigns we run for you
  • Meta: lead forms and messages from your Facebook and Instagram ads
  • GA4: website analytics, for the marketing report
  • GoHighLevel CRM: enquiry records

Each one is connected only after you sign our onboarding form and give us access. None of them touches your appointment book, and nothing in them is sent to patients or to people who enquired.

Can it send a price or an offer on its own?

No. It sends nothing to patients or to people who enquired, so it cannot send them a price or an offer.

Prices and offers carry rules. Ahpra requires health advertising to state the terms of any offer, and the Australian Consumer Law requires a price to be accurate. In July 2026, JustAnswer was ordered to pay $10 million in penalties after its chat widget told Australian consumers the price was AU$2 when they were signed up to a monthly subscription.

So in our work:

  • The automation passes the enquiry to your front desk and stops
  • Anything that makes a claim, an offer or a price waits for a person to approve it
  • Your team decides what to tell the person
What does my team still do?

The part that needs a person: talking to the patient and running the appointment book.

JobThe automationYour team
New enquiryQualifies it and hands it overCalls or emails back
BookingNothingBooks in your own software
Waiting enquiryReminds the front deskReplies, then marks it done
Monthly reportBuilds and sends itTells us the new patients you counted
Connected toolsMoves data between themDecides which ones

At the start, you sign the onboarding form, give us access, confirm your practice facts and booking link, and name one person who approves any wording about treatment. Approvals are due within 2 business days.

None of these steps happens inside your appointment book. The automation stops at your front desk, and everything from the first reply onward is your team’s call.

What is logged?

Every step, with its time, in the same live change log that records the work our agents do on your ads.

  • Each enquiry handed to your front desk, and when
  • Each reminder sent to your team about a waiting enquiry
  • Each marketing report built and sent

The live change log is included in every plan, and it is there for you to see at any time. It records what the automation did. It does not hold your patient records, because the automation never sees them.

If something in the log looks wrong, ask your named account lead, who replies within 1 business day.

What happens to an enquiry that arrives at 9pm?

On Growth, it reaches your front desk by email and SMS inside 3 minutes, then waits for your team overnight.

WhenWhat happens
9:00pmThe enquiry arrives through your website form or chat
By 9:03pmQualified, sent to your front desk by email and SMS, and logged
OvernightThe enquiry waits. Nothing is sent to the person, nothing is booked, no price or offer goes out
When you openYour team sees the name, the number and the reason, and calls back

The workflow runs 24/7, so your front desk does not have to. When your team calls back is up to your practice.

Is a name and a phone number “patient data”?

A name and a phone number are personal information, and we treat them that way.

The chat asks for a name, phone number, email and the reason for the enquiry, and optionally whether the person is new or existing. It never asks for Medicare or health fund numbers or a date of birth.

What the automation does with it:

  • Passes it to your front desk, with the reason for the enquiry
  • Records the hand-over in your change log
  • Sends nothing back to the person who enquired

Your practice owns these enquiry records. We keep them while you are a client and delete them within 30 days of you leaving. See AI and patient data.

Will you log into Dental4Windows, Praktika, Dentally or Core Practice?

No. Our agents have no access to any practice-management system, including those.

Many dental AI products work inside practice software so they can book, run recall or reshuffle the chair schedule. We do not sell those jobs, and we never ask for that access:

  • No login to your practice-management system
  • No access to the appointment book, recall lists or clinical notes
  • No access to My Health Record, healthcare identifiers or Medicare numbers

The appointment book, recall and patient records stay with your software and your team. The automation works only with the website chat widget, Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and GoHighLevel CRM.

How is this different from the website chat?

The chat answers questions on your website; the automation handles every enquiry and the admin around it.

Website chatAutomation
Where it worksOn your websiteBehind the scenes, across your ads, your website, GA4 and your CRM
What it doesAnswers questions from facts you approved, then hands the enquiry to your front deskQualifies every enquiry, from the chat, your forms and your ad lead forms, reminds your team and sends the report
Who it talks toThe person on your websiteYour front desk only

Both come together on Growth, $3,490 a month + GST. See website chat.

How is this different from a custom agent?

The automation runs the standard jobs on this page; a custom agent does a job the standard agents do not cover.

A custom agent is built for one need, such as a report from your ad, website and call data that the standard report does not include. It works inside the same limits:

  • It sends to your front desk or your team only
  • It never books appointments or messages patients
  • It never sees your practice software or patient records

Custom agents are on the Group plan, from $5,990 a month + GST. A build takes 2 to 4 weeks, and a strategist checks its rules and a test run first. If it acts outside its limits, it is paused, undone where possible, and you are told the same business day. See custom AI agents.

What do we keep if we stop?

Everything that is yours: your accounts, your campaigns, your landing pages and the change log.

Plans are month to month, with 30 days’ notice and no exit fee. When you leave:

  • You keep your Google Ads and Meta accounts and campaigns
  • You keep your keyword lists and landing pages
  • You keep the change log, including every automation step
  • We remove our access within 5 business days
  • We delete the enquiry records we hold within 30 days

The automation stops with the plan. Your practice software was never connected, so nothing there changes. See how we work for the full leaving terms.
