What it handlesThe calls this business actually gets
- New-patient calls asking for a first exam
- Patients moving a hygiene visit
- After-hours pain, urgent calls to a person
- Hours, location, and what to bring
This dental line
Hygiene openings, new-patient exams, and no clinical advice
When a hygiene visit is cancelled, the receptionist can offer that opening to the next patient waiting for a cleaning, and only into slots you marked as available.
A caller asking for a first exam is booked into a new-patient opening you allowed.
It does not give clinical advice. A question about symptoms, treatment, or what a tooth needs is sent to the office instead of answered on the call.

A dental office often has one person covering the front desk, the checkout, and the phone. That person is walking a patient back, printing a receipt, or covering lunch when the next call comes in.
The caller has a chipped tooth, a child with a swollen gum, or a question about a cleaning they have been putting off. If nobody answers, a lot of those people call the next office that does.
Triphammer sets up an AI receptionist for dental practices across New England. It says it is an automated receptionist.
It answers on the number the office already publishes.
It asks the questions your front desk would ask.
It books the kind of visit you want booked.
It texts the office a short summary.
A person can step in at any time, and you decide which calls count as urgent.
This page is about the phone at a dental practice. It is not a clinical product, and the receptionist does not give dental advice. Treatment decisions stay with your team. The job of the receptionist is to stop the missed call from becoming a missed patient, including evenings and weekends when the office is closed.

On the script
The rest of what the receptionist covers.
- New-patient calls that ask for a first exam
- Existing patients who need to move a hygiene visit
- After-hours tooth pain, with urgent calls passed to a person
- Questions about office hours, location, and what to bring
- A text summary of who called, what they needed, and what was booked
- A script you approve, in the tone of your front desk
Where the calls get lost
The problems owners describe.
The phone and the front desk are the same person.
Check-in, insurance cards, and a ringing line do not take turns. When the desk is with a patient, the call goes to a mailbox. The patient does not know you were busy. They know nobody picked up.
Tooth pain does not wait for Monday morning.
A broken crown on a Saturday is a real call. If it lands in voicemail, the patient looks for an office that answers. You can decide which symptoms should page someone and which ones can take the next opening.
New patients are the easiest calls to lose.
A new patient has no loyalty yet. They called you because you were close, or because someone nearby gave them the name. If the first try fails, the second call is often a different practice.
A cancellation leaves a hygiene chair empty.
Someone cancels a cleaning and the opening sits there until a person has time to work a list. The receptionist can offer the opening to the next patient who is waiting, using the rules you set, instead of leaving it until the next morning huddle.

How does pricing work?
Every project starts with a one-time setup fee, then a flat monthly plan. Plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract. The amounts shown are the plan prices, and your final price is quoted after a free 15-minute call.
Will callers know they are talking to AI?
Yes. It tells them. Most callers care more that someone answered and that the next step is clear. It follows the script you approve.
What if it gets something wrong?
You can see the calls, and a person can step in at any time. You decide what should be passed to your team right away. We do not claim it never makes a mistake.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. The receptionist works with the phone number and calendar you already have. You do not need a new phone system.
Can I pause it in the off-season?
You can pause for up to 6 months and keep your number and settings, then pick up where you left off.
Can it book hygiene and a limited exam differently?
Yes, if you want those visits handled on different rules. You tell us which appointments can be booked automatically and which ones should be left for the front desk.
Will it talk about insurance or treatment?
It can share the office facts you approve, such as which plans you mention on the site. It does not give clinical advice or promise what a visit will cost.
