AI receptionist for a dental clinic: prices and appointments

The patient writes in the evening, the front desk is busy

A clinic front desk fights on two fronts all day: answering the phone and dealing with patients standing at the counter. Instagram and WhatsApp messages end up at the back of the queue. Yet people often write in the evening after work, or at night when a tooth hurts: "How much is an implant?", "Can I come in tomorrow?". The reply comes in the morning or not at all, and by then the patient has booked with another clinic. When choosing medical care, people want a quick, clear answer because they are often anxious. An AI receptionist answers price and appointment questions around the clock and leaves medical questions to the doctor.

Questions about the price list

The most common question is price: check-up, cleaning, filling, root canal, implant, braces. The AI receptionist answers only from your price list. If a price is listed as "from", it says so and, provided you wrote this in your data, explains that the final cost is set after the doctor's examination. It can also tell patients what the price includes, whether the consultation is paid and which payment methods you accept. Prices and discounts pass a separate check before sending, so the AI will not promise a promotion you do not run. Patients no longer have to wait until morning just to learn the price range.

Appointment requests: the AI collects, the front desk confirms

When a patient wants an appointment, the AI receptionist asks for their name, phone number, preferred day and time, a specific doctor if they have one in mind, and a short reason for the visit. Then it sends the request to you or the front desk in Telegram. The AI has no access to the doctors' real schedule or the clinic's booking system. So it does not confirm a time itself; it tells the patient the request has been received and the clinic will get in touch. The front desk checks the schedule and confirms. A patient who writes at night gets an answer, and the front desk starts the day with requests ready to process.

No medical advice, and that is how it should be

The most important boundary for an AI receptionist in a clinic: it does not give medical advice or make diagnoses. If a patient writes "my tooth hurts at night, do I need a root canal?" or sends a photo of a tooth or an X-ray asking "what is this?", the AI does not assess the image or suggest treatment. It says it will pass the question to the doctor and offers to book an examination. The question reaches you in Telegram, the doctor can reply, and the AI delivers that answer neatly in the patient's language. If you add what to do in urgent cases to your data, such as a phone number to call, the AI will give exactly that.

An example conversation

Here is how a WhatsApp chat might look. Patient: "Hi, there is a dark spot on my tooth. Do I need a filling? How much would it cost?" — AI receptionist: "Hello! Only a doctor can make a diagnosis after an examination, so I cannot assess that. According to our price list, an examination is 20 ₼ and fillings start at 60 ₼; the doctor will tell you the exact cost. Would you like to book an examination?" — Patient: "Yes, Friday morning." — AI receptionist: "Please send your name and phone number and I will pass the request to the front desk, who will confirm the time with you." The prices are examples; the AI uses only your price list.

Photos, languages and trust

Before choosing a clinic, patients want to see what it looks like. Upload photos of treatment rooms, the waiting area, equipment and the building entrance to the library, and the AI will show them when it makes sense. If your data includes the address, opening hours, directions and the doctors' specialisations, it will answer those questions precisely too. Patients can write in Azerbaijani, Russian or another language and get a reply in their own language, and the AI understands voice messages as well. If a patient asks "are you a doctor or a bot?", the AI honestly says it is an AI assistant. In healthcare, that honesty matters even more.

When a person needs to step in

Questions about symptoms, treatment, medication or how someone feels after a procedure always go to the doctor. Complaints, payment disputes and unusual requests are handled by people too. In these cases the AI does not make anything up; it passes the question to you in Telegram. You reply by text or voice, the AI turns your reply into a clear message in the patient's language and can remember it for next time if you want. You can take over any chat at any moment and then return it to the AI with one button. The AI takes the routine, and your doctors keep their time for patients.

How to get started

Setup is done from your phone, with no programmer. First fill in your data: services and price list, doctors and their specialisations, opening hours, address, appointment rules and what to do in urgent cases. Then upload photos of the clinic to the library. In the test chat, write as a patient: ask for a price, ask for a discount, describe a symptom and check how the AI handles a medical question. If everything looks right, connect WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram or Messenger. The first 7 days are free, with 50 dialogs and no card required. A dialog is one customer during one day.
