Dental practices miss roughly a third of incoming calls, and each one is a booked chair lost. An AI receptionist for dental office phones answers all of them and books straight into your practice management system — here's what an AI receptionist for dentists needs to do.
| Type | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dental-specific | Viva, Dentina, Arini, Weave AI Receptionist | Direct PMS integration (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve), books in-call. Sold direct. Viva ~$349–$899/mo (SOC 2 Type II + HIPAA). Dentina from $299/mo (Standard) or $399/mo (Premium) per location, billed annually, 30-day trial. Arini and Weave: quote only, no public price (Weave adds a setup fee). |
| General, PMS via integration | CloudTalk, My AI Front Desk | Capable, HIPAA options; booking via integration rather than native to a PMS |
Pricing last checked September 2026 — vendors change plans and included-minute blocks often. Confirm current pricing on each vendor's own site before buying.
Four quick questions so the shortlist we send actually matches your practice — no email needed to answer them.
We're building an independent shortlist for this exact use case. Drop your address and we'll send it when it's ready — that's the only thing we'll use it for.
Answer every call 24/7, book and reschedule into your practice management system (Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft and similar), handle new-patient intake and insurance questions at a basic level, triage genuine emergencies, and hand off cleanly to staff with a summary.
Yes — several vendors (for example Viva, Dentina, Arini, and Weave's AI Receptionist) are built around dental workflows and practice management systems. They typically sell direct rather than through self-serve sign-up.
It varies by vendor. Viva AI publishes a $349 Gold and $899 Platinum tier (third-party reviews cite $200–$500 for lower volumes). Dentina lists Standard Inbound from $299/month and Premium from $399/month, per location, billed annually, with a 30-day trial. Arini and Weave sell by quote and do not publish a price (Weave adds a setup fee). Multi-location groups and DSOs get custom pricing.
We build each comparison from three things: the vendor’s own documentation and pricing pages, independent third-party testing and benchmarks (cited below where they exist), and published hands-on reviews. Where a capability is only claimed by the vendor and not independently verified, we say so in the text. We do not run our own call-quality lab, so latency and naturalness figures on this site are attributed to the third-party study that produced them.
