Sample AI conversations
Visitor
Do you take Cigna insurance?
Nova (AI Employee)
Yes — we accept Cigna PPO and Cigna Dental Care (DHMO). Would you like me to check your specific plan while I book your first visit?
Visitor
How much is a cleaning?
Nova (AI Employee)
For new patients with insurance, cleaning + exam is often fully covered under preventive care. Without insurance it's $145. Want me to check your coverage now?
Visitor
I need to reschedule
Nova (AI Employee)
Absolutely — what's your last name and appointment day? I'll find it and offer three new times.

KPIs
- % missed calls recovered
- New patient bookings / month
- Cancellation rate
- Average review score
- CSAT ≥ 8 rate
Common mistakes
- Turning on AI booking without linking to the practice-management calendar
- Publishing reviews from a small unrepresentative sample
- Allowing the AI to answer clinical questions — always route to a hygienist
