Most dental offices today face a hidden but costly struggle: missed calls, overwhelmed front desks, and poor follow-up that result in significant lost revenue. With over 85% of calls going unanswered and modern patients expecting instant, multi-channel communication, traditional front desk systems can’t keep up. That’s where Denny AI comes in. Purpose-built for dental practices, Denny handles calls, texts, chats, emails, and even insurance verification—24/7—with human-like precision. It helps recapture missed opportunities, reduce staff burnout, and boost new patient conversions. In a world where communication is everything, Denny ensures your practice never misses a beat.
In today’s fast-paced, patient-driven market, most dental offices face a major problem—and it’s not what you might think. It’s not the rising cost of supplies, not even the clinical challenges. The biggest struggle facing dental offices in 2025 is communication breakdown—missed calls, overwhelmed front desk staff, and inconsistent follow-up that leads to missed revenue.
According to industry data, more than 85% of dental offices miss phone calls during business hours, and of those, nearly 50% never result in a callback. In fact, the Levin Group reports that the average dental practice loses $40,000 to $60,000 annually in lost production simply due to missed or mishandled phone calls.
That’s not just inconvenient—it’s catastrophic. These aren't just calls—they're opportunities:
Multiply that by days, weeks, and months, and you’re staring at a six-figure hole in annual revenue.
Front office teams are juggling insurance checks, patient check-ins, treatment plan presentations, billing questions, and more. Expecting them to be available instantly across phone, text, website chat, email, and social media is unrealistic.
The Journal of Dental Practice Administration reports that up to 70% of front office staff experience moderate to high stress due to communication overload. This stress leads to higher turnover, which costs practices thousands more in hiring and retraining every year.
In the age of Amazon, Uber, and 24/7 everything, patients expect quick, convenient, and consistent communication. A survey by Salesforce revealed that 71% of consumers expect companies to communicate with them in real time, and 64% prefer texting or chatting over calling.
The typical dental practice simply isn’t set up to meet those expectations—until now.
