Dental
The 9pm broken-tooth call is a $1,200 new patient.
Vantal picks up after hours, asks the right pain and history questions, and either books the emergency slot for the morning or warm-transfers a true after-hours emergency to your on-call number.
How it shows up on your line
Three things Vantal does on every call.
Triage that knows the difference
Knocked-out tooth, swelling above the eye, or fever with infection. Live transfer. Sensitivity to cold for three days. Booked for Tuesday at 10. The triage rules come from your hygiene coordinator, not a generic script.
Speaks dental, not script
Crown vs. inlay, scaling and root planing vs. prophy, Invisalign vs. wire braces. Vantal captures the procedure, the tooth number when the caller knows it, and whether they are an existing or new patient.
Bilingual front desk on the first ring
English or Spanish, picked up automatically. Your Spanish-speaking new patients get the same warm intake as everyone else, with no callback delay.
Why this matters
32%
of new-patient dental calls happen outside 9-to-5. Most practices send them to voicemail and lose them to the next listing.

What it handles
What Vantal handles on a dental line
Real call types, triaged with your rules. Anything risky goes to your on-call clinician.
Broken tooth or emergency
Asks about swelling, fever, bleeding, and pain level (1 to 10). Books the morning emergency slot or escalates if symptoms suggest infection.
New-patient cleaning + exam
Captures insurance carrier and member ID, last cleaning date, and reason for switching. Books a 90-minute new-patient slot.
Recall hygiene
Looks up the caller in your PMS by phone, confirms their hygienist, and books the next available cleaning.
Cosmetic consultation
Asks about veneers vs. whitening vs. bonding, photo-share if appropriate, and books a paid consult with the right provider.
Orthodontic intake (adult or teen)
Captures current alignment concern, Invisalign or wire preference, and books a free initial consult with your ortho.
Implant or oral surgery
Pulls existing-patient history if available, asks about referring dentist, books a paid surgical consult.
Insurance and pricing questions
Confirms in-network carriers from your published list, shares your new-patient exam fee, declines to quote individual procedures without seeing the patient.
Pediatric first visit
Asks child's age, parent reason for visit, and books with your pediatric-trained hygienist.

Frequently asked
Front-desk owner FAQ
- Will it sound like a robot to my patients?
- No. Vantal sounds like a calm, well-trained front-desk lead. You record the voice for your practice and listen to every call.
- What about a real emergency at 2 a.m.?
- Vantal triages live. Avulsed teeth, swelling above the eye, fever with facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding. All warm-transfer to your on-call number.
- Does it integrate with Open Dental, Dentrix, or Eaglesoft?
- Vantal books on Cal.com today and pushes the appointment to your PMS via webhook. Open Dental is the smoothest path. We are building tighter Dentrix and Eaglesoft hooks.
- Is this HIPAA-compliant?
- We run HIPAA-aware workflows. Call recordings are encrypted, transcripts are stored in our HIPAA-safe pipeline, and we sign a BAA when you onboard.
- Can it pull existing-patient records?
- Yes when your PMS exposes a phone-lookup endpoint. Open Dental and Dentrix both do. Vantal greets returning patients by name and pulls their last visit.
- Can it handle insurance verification?
- It confirms in-network status from your published carrier list and captures the member ID. It does not run real-time eligibility checks (yet).
