If Avidra doesn't recover 3 booked appointments in your first 30 days, I refund everything and disconnect you myself.
No forms. No retention call.

Insurance benefit-year reset hits the first Monday of January and the phone doesn't stop ringing. Most front desks can hold three calls before the rest start dropping.
Avidra is a text-back system that runs the second you miss a call. The caller gets a real reply, not a voicemail loop. You get a structured lead with the basics filled in.
The text doesn't replace the human conversation. It buys time for it. You still call back. You still close the job. Avidra just makes sure the lead is warm and the basics about the patients are in your inbox before you do.
Break-even is one recovered job a month for almost every plan tier. If Avidra catches one dental lead in the trial that would have gone to voicemail, you're already ahead on the year. The trial period is 14 days, so the math has the chance to prove itself before you're paying.
You decide who picks up first. Run the human-first mode: your phone rings, and Avidra only steps in if the call goes unanswered. Or run the AI-first mode: Avidra picks up live and transfers when the caller wants a human. Most shops start human-first because the customer relationship still flows through you. AI-first makes sense once the volume is past what one person can handle.
The Free tier includes both AI voice answering and SMS text-back, so the pickup-mode choice doesn't cost extra.
Avidra answers calls live with AI voice, or texts missed callers back if you'd rather. It runs your intake script. It captures the appointment request and relays messages to your patients when you ask. What it doesn't do: replace your front desk, schedule treatments, pull patient history from your scheduling system, or run your billing.
It doesn't book the appointment. It doesn't verify insurance. It doesn't quote coverage. The text captures the request and tells the patient a person will follow up. Everything that needs a human voice stays with your front desk.
The math on your missed calls
73% of patients don't leave a voicemail. They call the next dental office on Google.
Avidra catches them in 4.2 seconds.

Most of these will look familiar. Recall hygiene appointment booking. Invisalign consult booking. New patient exam booking with insurance verification. Cracked molar after biting on something hard. Each one is a booking your front desk would close if they could pick up.
After-hours patterns are tighter. The questions are shorter and the patience is thinner. Swollen jaw and pain that won't stop, patient asking if they should go to ER. Post-extraction bleeding that hasn't slowed. Whoever answers first lands the appointment. Everyone else gets the voicemail tone.
January spike when insurance benefits reset. Steady through the year with a dip in mid-summer and another late December.
Most dental offices can predict the peaks. The trick is keeping pickup steady through them. Avidra doesn't surge-price during your busy weeks and doesn't go quiet during the slow ones.
Setup is a 10-digit phone number and a short script. You forward your missed calls to the Avidra number that gets assigned at signup. You edit the default intake script to match how you talk to a new lead. That's the whole setup.
Most owners run their first real test inside an hour of signing up. The honest test is to miss a call on purpose from a friend's phone and watch what happens. The text fires. The follow-up questions land. You see the lead summary on your phone.
Speed is the whole game. A caller who got voicemail and then got a confirmation email twenty minutes later has already booked the next number on the list. A text-back inside five seconds reads as a real reply. The caller responds while they're still mentally on the call. The human callback then lands into a warm conversation, not a cold one.
Will it handle insurance claim follow-up calls?
It captures the inquiry and routes it to the billing team.
What if a patient wants pricing?
The script defers pricing to a callback from the front desk. Avidra never quotes.
Can the script accept other languages?
Yes. A second-language script can be configured.
Can it tell the patient your office hours?
Yes. Hours are part of the standard script.
What about referrals from another practice?
Referral calls can be flagged in the intake. The script asks who referred them and any treatment notes from the referring office.
