Every patient call, answered.
An AI receptionist for dentists is a voice assistant that answers the practice’s phone, books cleanings and new-patient exams, and takes messages when the front desk is busy. Voxgard picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, so a patient with a cracked filling at 9 p.m. hears a calm voice instead of voicemail. It learns your office hours, the services you offer and the insurance plans you accept, then books straight into Google Calendar or Calendly and texts a confirmation from your number. A patient in pain gets their details taken and the call marked urgent in the summary; if they ask for the on-call dentist, it rings that person. Recall visits, reschedules and plan questions are handled from what you loaded, and anything else becomes a message. It speaks 32 languages, including Spanish, Chinese and Korean. Plans start from $249 a month, and the free five-day pilot runs on your real calls with no credit card.

What your callers
ring about.
New patient exams
Callers new to the area want a first cleaning and exam and ask what the visit includes.
Toothaches and breaks
A cracked tooth or a swollen jaw after hours, and the caller wants to know who can see them.
Insurance plans
Whether the office takes a given dental plan, answered from the list your team loaded.
Reschedules
Moving a cleaning or a crown seat to another day that week.
How the call sounds.
An example of the flow, shortened. The business is fictional.
VoxgardThanks for calling Northside Dental. How can I help?
CallerHi, I just moved here and need a cleaning. Are you taking new patients?
VoxgardWe are. A new-patient exam and cleaning takes about an hour. I have Tuesday at 8:30 or Thursday at 2. Which works?
CallerThursday at 2.
VoxgardBooked: Thursday at 2 p.m., new-patient exam and cleaning. Can I get your name and the best number to text?
CallerDana Ruiz, 555-0142.
VoxgardThanks, Dana. A confirmation is on its way to 555-0142. Please bring your insurance card.
What it does
for you.
Books into your calendar
Reads free and busy time in Google Calendar or Calendly, books the visit, reads it back and texts a confirmation from the office number.
Flags dental pain
Takes the caller’s name, number and what hurts, marks the call urgent in the summary, and rings the on-call dentist when the patient asks for them.
A record of every call
Recording, transcript and a short summary land in the dashboard, so the front desk knows who called about what before the morning huddle.
Voxgard has not completed HIPAA certification (see our security page), and it never gives clinical advice about a tooth; it books the visit, takes the message and rings the on-call dentist when a patient asks.

Dentists:
questions and answers.
Yes, if you load the plans you accept. If a plan is not on the list, it says it is not sure and takes a message for your team.
It takes the details and marks the call urgent in the summary. If the caller asks for the on-call dentist, it rings that person; it does not decide on its own who needs care.
It books into Google Calendar or Calendly. For other systems, the universal webhook (Zapier, Make, n8n) can pass call data along, and Enterprise adds custom integrations.
Yes. Forward your existing number or port it to Voxgard. There is nothing to install.
It does the job of both: it answers your business calls, takes messages and books appointments. A virtual receptionist is usually a person working remotely, and an answering service usually takes messages. Voxgard is AI: it picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, and books straight into your calendar.
