New-patient capture.
The highest-value call a practice gets, and the one most likely to hit a voicemail at lunch or after five. Sarah answers, collects insurance, and books them on the spot.
A new patient is worth $10,000, and they call at 9 PM.
Your front desk closes at five. Your most valuable callers, new patients switching dentists, reach for the phone at lunch, at night, on weekends. Sarah answers every one, collects the insurance, and books them before they dial the next office.

Sarah
"Great, we're in-network with Delta PPO. I can do all four next Tuesday afternoon, back to back, or split across two mornings. Which works better?"
Caller
"Yeah, it's Delta Dental PPO."
Sarah
"Perfect. Do you have dental insurance you'd like us to bill? I can check that you're in-network while we're on the phone."
Caller
"Two adults, two kids. Everybody's just due for a checkup, I think."
Sarah
"Welcome to the neighborhood! I'd love to get you in. How many of you, and is anyone due for a cleaning or having any pain?"
Caller
"Hi, we just moved and we're looking for a dentist for our family."
Built for Dental
The four jobs you'd actually hire her for.
Insurance intake.
Carrier, plan, in-network check, the details your front desk asks for. Sarah gathers them on the call so the patient is ready to be seen, not stuck in a callback loop.
Toothache triage.
An emergency caller in pain after hours doesn't leave a voicemail. Sarah books a next-morning emergency exam and texts the confirmation before they call the practice down the street.
Recall reactivation.
The six-month cleanings that quietly lapse. Sarah re-engages overdue patients and fills the hygiene schedule your front desk never has time to work.
A missed new-patient call is a decade of care walking away.
New patients don't behave like existing ones. They're shopping, they call at night, and they almost never leave a voicemail. They just dial the next office. Miss that call and you didn't lose a cleaning, you lost the eight-to-ten thousand dollars of lifetime care that patient represents. Your front desk can't be on the phone at 9 PM on a Friday. Sarah can.
The tools every dental business already uses.
Sarah doesn't ask you to switch CRMs. She writes into the ones you already pay for: work orders, photos, calendar, books.

What practices ask us before signing up.
How quickly can we go live?
About ten minutes, and you set it up yourself: you sign up, she pulls your providers, hours, and insurance from what's already online, you confirm the details and pick her voice, then you forward your after-hours and overflow line. Prefer we build it for you? Done-For-You is the same setup done by our team, and you're live the same day.
Can Sarah check insurance while the caller is on the phone?
She collects the carrier and plan and confirms whether you're in-network from your configured list, so the new patient is booked and ready instead of stuck waiting for a callback. She doesn't run a full eligibility check (that's still your front desk), but she captures everything they need to.
Does she just cover after hours, or all day?
Your choice. Most practices point their after-hours and overflow line to her, so the lunch breaks, the evenings, the Saturdays, and the moments both front-desk staff are with a patient stop going to voicemail. You can also route every call to her.
What happens with a dental emergency after hours?
She triages the urgency, books a next-morning emergency exam, and texts the confirmation. For a true emergency she can page your on-call provider per the rules you set.
Are calls recorded?
No. Ansa doesn't record calls. Every call is transcribed, and the transcript lives in your dashboard for 30 days before it auto-deletes. You get the booking and the patient details without storing audio.
What does it cost?
Self-serve is $297/mo and you set Sarah up yourself. Done-For-You is $497/mo and we tune her to your providers, insurance, and intake. No per-call or per-minute fees. A single new patient covers it for years.
Will she book into our practice-management system?
She books into Google Calendar in real time and writes the appointment and patient into Dentrix, Open Dental, and other systems with a calendar. If yours isn't on the list, we map it during setup.
Can I cancel any time?
Month-to-month, no lock-in. We do reach out before you cancel because the call data usually points to a fixable issue. Let us look first.
