Vernon Hills, IL · Lake County & Chicagoland

Your front desk can't answer two calls at once. Your AI receptionist can.

The average dental practice misses 20–35% of its calls, and most of those are new-patient calls that never get a callback in time. ZestixAI builds an AI phone receptionist that catches them — books the appointment, answers hours and insurance questions, and texts a confirmation, all while your team is with a patient.

Why this matters

The math behind a missed call

20–35%

of calls to the average dental practice go unanswered — mostly during exams, procedures, and lunch hours.

$150K–$300K

estimated annual revenue lost by a typical practice from missed new-patient calls alone.

27%

average increase in booked appointments within 90 days of capturing previously missed calls.

What it handles

Everything that currently goes to voicemail

Built around your practice — your hours, your services, your new-patient process. It never invents an answer, and it never hangs up on a caller.

Appointment requests

Collects name, number, and preferred day and time, repeats it back to confirm, and sends it straight to your scheduling coordinator to finalize.

Insurance & new-patient questions

Answers which insurance you accept, whether you're taking new patients, and what to bring to a first visit — instantly, without pulling staff from the chair.

Hours, location & policies

Office hours, parking, cancellation policy, and directions — answered correctly every time.

English, Hindi & Spanish

Detects the caller's language and switches mid-call automatically — a real advantage in a diverse patient community.

Messages that actually arrive

Anything it can't handle becomes a clear message — name, number, reason — delivered to your front desk immediately.

Overflow, not replacement

Most practices start with the AI only catching what the front desk misses during busy hours. Your team's role doesn't change.

Try it yourself

Three minutes tells you more than any pitch

Call (847) 613-1949 and try these:

1

"I'd like to book an appointment."

Hear how it collects the details and confirms them back before handing off to your team.

2

Ask a question it can't answer.

It won't guess — it takes a message and promises a callback, exactly like a well-trained receptionist would.

3

Speak Hindi or Spanish partway through.

It follows you into the new language without missing a beat.

How it works

Your phone number doesn't change. Neither does your team.

1

We build it around your practice

Send your hours, services, insurance list, and the questions patients always ask. We build and test it, then let you try to break it before anything goes live.

2

It catches only what you miss

Most practices start in overflow mode — your front desk always answers first. The AI picks up only what would have gone to voicemail.

3

You see every call

Every conversation is logged with a transcript, so you know exactly what was asked, booked, or missed — and what it's worth.

Questions

Straight answers

How much revenue do practices actually lose to missed calls?

Industry data puts it at $150,000–$300,000 a year for a typical practice missing 20–35% of its calls — mostly new-patient calls that ring during an exam and don't get a callback in time.

Does this replace my front desk staff?

No. Most practices start in overflow mode: your team answers first, and the AI only picks up calls that would have gone to voicemail. Nobody's role changes.

Can it handle insurance and scheduling questions?

It answers common hours, insurance, and new-patient questions instantly, and collects enough detail for your scheduling coordinator to confirm and finalize the booking.

What if a caller asks something it can't answer?

It takes a clear message — name, number, reason — and sends it to your team right away. It's built never to invent an answer and never to hang up on a caller.

Who am I actually working with?

Zain Mehta, in Vernon Hills. You get the person who builds it, not a call center. If something sounds wrong on a call, you text me and I fix it that day.

Hear it first. Decide after.

Call the demo line, then call me directly. If it's not obviously worth it for your practice, I'll tell you so myself.
