FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Is AI safe to use with patient data?
Yes, when set up correctly. Patient records stay inside your secure practice systems, AI access is tightly limited and everything patient-facing is reviewed by your team. We follow UK GDPR and align with GDC and CQC expectations.
How does automation reduce no-shows?
Patients get timely reminders and can confirm or reschedule in a tap, without calling reception. Freed slots are then offered to other patients automatically.
Will this replace our reception team?
No. It removes repetitive calls and chasing so your reception team can focus on patients in the practice and more complex enquiries.
Can it work with our existing practice management software?
Yes. We integrate with common dental systems so bookings, recalls and records stay in one place.
