001For dental practices
Your front desk can’t answer every call. Ava can, and books it.
Client 4 Life AI builds AI Employees for dental practices. Ava picks up the new-patient call that comes in at lunch or mid-procedure, and books the appointment. The first step is one 20-minute call, and we work from your own call log, not an industry average.
Setup is $3,000 per AI Employee, published below. If your miss rate is under 10%, we will tell you it is not worth buying.
002The arithmetic
A missed call is worth about $47.
That is the expected first-year production of one missed call: the chance it is a new patient, times the chance that patient books, times a year of that patient’s spend. We assume about 30% of inbound calls are new-patient calls and that 23% of those book. Both are our working assumptions, not published figures. The $685 is the American Dental Association Health Policy Institute’s average annual spend per patient, from 2013 data, so it is more than ten years old. Replace all three with your own.
This prices missed calls only. It does not price no-shows or lapsed patients, because we have no sourced figure for either, so there is no no-show number on this page.
Example: ten missed calls a week
- Missed calls per year520
- New-patient calls among them (assumed 30%)156
- Would have booked (assumed 23%)36
- First-year production (ADA 2013 average)≈ $24,700
Ten a week is an example input, not a benchmark. On these inputs the first-year figure is about $24,700. Your own call log and production report are better inputs than any of ours.
003What it costs
Published, not quoted.
Every use case is one AI Employee. Setup is one-time. Support and updates run on a subscription. There is no form standing between you and the number.
The guarantee
We guarantee the work, not a number: if your booked appointments have not gone up within 90 days, we’ll personally keep optimising your AI Employees until they do.
004Straight answers
The six you were going to ask.
A trained digital system hired for one specific job. For a dental practice that job is Ava: she answers the new-patient calls your front desk cannot get to and books the appointment. It is scoped to a real job description, not installed as a generic feature.
A 20-minute kickoff call, plus roughly 30 minutes of homework from you or a staff member. That is the whole commitment on your side. We build, train and test against your real scenarios from there.
It works alongside them. The system snaps on to what your agency is already doing rather than replacing it — they keep driving traffic and awareness, and your AI Employees make sure the leads that arrive are answered, booked and followed up.
No. Robocalls play a recording at people. AI Employees use natural language processing to hold a real, personalised conversation — they listen, respond to what was actually said, and adapt to the caller.
Honestly, yes. The underlying platforms are commercially available and you may already be paying for one of them. What you would be buying from us is the build, not access to the technology: writing the call scripts and objection handling, training the AI Employee on your services, your pricing and the fifty questions your front desk answers most, wiring it into the CRM, calendar and phone system you already run, and testing it against your real call scenarios before a single client hears it — then watching it once it is live and correcting what needs correcting. Your side of that is a 20-minute kickoff call and about 30 minutes of homework. Ours is covered by the one-time setup fee, with support and updates on the subscription. If you have the hours and somebody in-house who enjoys that kind of work, build it. If the reason calls go unanswered is that nobody has spare hours in the first place, adding a build project is not the fix.
Each use case is one AI Employee at $3,000 one-time setup, per employee. Ongoing support and updates run on a subscription. Setup fee is one-time and non-refundable.
005Next step
Twenty minutes, and about half an hour of homework.
That is the whole commitment on your side. Bring the last 30 days from your phone system and we will work through your real numbers, including the case where the honest answer is that you do not need this.
