Most dental offices are losing new patients before they ever book an appointment. Gary Bird breaks down how AI receptionists are converting 70–80% of new patient calls while the average dental office misses 35% of calls and converts only about 50% of the ones they answer.

In this episode, you’ll learn how AI can improve phone conversion, reduce wasted dental marketing spend, fill schedules 48–72 hours in advance, and create more predictable new patient growth. Gary also explains how SMC is using AI-driven tracking, outbound texting, and patient communication systems to help practices identify operational bottlenecks and grow faster.

If you want better practice management, more efficient patient acquisition, and stronger fee-for-service growth, this episode breaks down the exact systems driving results right now.
