AI receptionist for dentists
At Arini, we’re building the operating system for dental groups. Phones are the backbone of dental operations — 80% of appointments are still booked over the phone — yet practices miss 20–30% of inbound calls. That’s millions in lost revenue every month. Patient engagement is the biggest bottleneck to growth in dentistry, and we’ve built the most comprehensive AI-powered patient engagement suite in the industry. Arini manages calls, texts, and bookings. We’re going after a $220B, overlooked industry that still runs on legacy systems and outdated workflows. Arini is bringing AI to every part of the dental stack.
Arini is positioned as an AI receptionist for dental practices, offering 24/7 patient communication and scheduling to reduce missed calls and increase revenue. It emphasizes omni-channel engagement, fast latency, accessibility, and seamless integrations with dental practice management software.
Arini provides an AI front desk that engages patients via calls or text messages, with: 1) powerful scheduling logic to block or stagger appointments; 2) omni-channel communication for calls and texts; 3) 1-click integrations with existing practice management software; 4) real-time call routing to appropriate departments; 5) 300ms latency for near-instant captions and responses; 6) speaker identification for up to 15 speakers in group conversations; 7) customizable call flows that can be defined, tested, and deployed; 8) accessibility-focused design for Deaf and Hard of Hearing users; 9) onboarding and ongoing optimization through integration, teaching, testing, and go-live steps.
Who it’s for: Dental groups, DSOs, and private dental practices in the US and Canada
