InTake for Dental Clinics · 24/7 · Multilingual

InTake for dental clinics. The receptionist that never sleeps.

It's 11 PM. A patient with a fractured crown is searching Google for "dentist open near me." Most clinics miss this call. InTake picks up in under 8 seconds. Lilou greets the patient in their language, runs the four-question triage, books the 8:30 AM emergency slot before reception arrives, and sends an SMS confirmation with the practice address. No voicemail. No competitor pickup. No lost revenue. One AI receptionist, always on, in your voice.

What dental clinics actually lose

Five problems your front desk can't fix.

Pulled from interviews with 23 European dental practices. Pain that costs you patients, revenue, and reputation.

01

Missed emergency calls after hours

62% of dental emergencies happen between 6 PM and 8 AM. Voicemail and answering services lose them to whoever picks up next.

Lilou triages in 8 seconds, books the morning slot.
02

10–15% no-show rates kill your day

Manual SMS reminders are inconsistent. Patients forget. The chair sits empty. The hygienist gets paid anyway.

Two-tap confirm, one-tap reschedule. No-shows under 4%.
03

Multilingual patients hang up

In Paris, Berlin, Brussels, your reception speaks one or two languages. Your patients speak twelve. Most don't try twice.

30+ languages. Mid-conversation switch. Zero accent stigma.
04

Recall reminders done by hand

Six-month checkups, periodontal recalls, implant follow-ups — you have a list of 800 patients you should be calling. You're not.

Automatic recall sequencing. SMS, WhatsApp, voice.
05

Insurance verification eats first appointments

15 minutes of every new-patient visit goes to copying carrier cards, calling for pre-auth, finding a missing policy number.

Pre-collected at booking. Verified before the patient arrives.
What InTake does for dental clinics

Five jobs. One agent.

Each capability adapted to dental workflow. No generic chatbot. Lilou knows the difference between a routine cleaning and a knocked-out tooth.

01

Patient onboarding

Captures full intake — name, DOB, chief complaint, medications, allergies, last visit. Pre-populates your PMS before the patient arrives.

02

Emergency triage

Four-question triage protocol — pain level, swelling, trauma, fever. Books the emergency slot or routes to on-call mobile.

03

Multilingual reception

French, English, German, Arabic, Polish, Romanian, Mandarin — 30+ languages with mid-call switching. Urban patients book on the first ring.

04

Recall reminders

Six-month cleanings, perio recalls, implant follow-ups. Sequenced SMS + WhatsApp + voice fallback. Books directly into open slots.

05

Insurance pre-collection

Captures carrier, policy, and DOB at booking. Verifies eligibility against carrier API where available. Saves 15 minutes per first visit.

Demo · Tuesday, 11:47 PM

It's 11:47 PM at Cabinet Dentaire Jansen, 11e arrondissement. Madame Bonnier has a patient — her seven-year-old son Théo bit down on a peach pit and a piece of his front crown is now loose. She finds the clinic on Google Maps and taps the number, half-expecting a voicemail. Lilou picks up on the second ring. Calm voice, in French. Asks the four triage questions: pain level, swelling, blood, last meal. Pulls up tomorrow's schedule, finds the 8:30 AM emergency slot Dr. Jansen always holds open. Books Théo. Captures the carrier (Mutuelle Générale), the policy number from a photo Madame Bonnier sends via SMS, and the dental record number from a previous visit two years ago. Sends confirmation. Total elapsed: 3 minutes 12 seconds. Madame Bonnier sleeps. Dr. Jansen walks in at 8 AM to a fully prepped chart.

Questions dentists ask

Six honest answers.

Will my patients know they're talking to an AI?

InTake (default agent: Lilou) introduces itself by name and clinic. Most patients book and hang up without ever asking — the conversation feels natural because it is. We disclose AI status when asked directly, per EU AI Act Article 50 transparency requirements. You can rename the agent (we've shipped Marie, Sofia, Hans, Adèle), pick a voice, and tune the personality. The patients who notice typically remark that they got through faster than usual.

How does InTake handle medical history and dental records?

InTake collects intake-level data only — chief complaint, current medications, last visit, allergies, insurance carrier. Anything sensitive is encrypted at rest, stored in EU residency (Frankfurt eu-central-1), and synced to your practice management system through secure API. Full medical histories stay where they belong: with the dentist. The audit trail logs every data touch, which satisfies German §630g BGB and French Code de la santé publique requirements.

Does InTake integrate with our practice management software?

Yes. We connect to Doctolib, Dentally, Dentalink, Julie, Logos.w, Logiciel Dentaire, and any system with a public API or HL7/FHIR endpoint. Subscription clients get plug-and-play connectors. Build & Own clients get custom integration with their stack — typically a 2-week implementation that we hand over with documentation. If your system has no API, we can sit on top of email/SMS workflows.

Is InTake HIPAA-compliant?

InTake is GDPR + EU AI Act compliant by default — built for European dental practices. For US healthcare requiring HIPAA, contact us — that requires a separate BAA-eligible deployment with US data residency, encrypted endpoints, and a signed Business Associate Agreement. We've shipped this configuration for two US clinics; the build adds about 10 days to the timeline.

What about the after-hours emergency calls?

Emergency triage is the single biggest reason dental clinics choose InTake. Lilou picks up at 11 PM, asks the four triage questions (pain level, swelling, trauma, fever), and either books an emergency slot in your morning schedule or routes to your on-call dentist's mobile if the case is severe (avulsion, facial swelling, fever >38.5°C). Most clinics see 8–15 emergency bookings per month they would have lost to walk-ins or competitors.

Can it pre-collect insurance and reduce no-shows?

Yes. At first call, InTake captures insurance carrier, policy number, and date of birth — verified against the carrier API where available (mutuelles, BKK, Krankenkassen). SMS confirmation sends 24h and 2h before the appointment with a one-tap reschedule link. Practices using this combination report no-show rates dropping from 12% to under 4%. The recovered chair-time pays for the subscription in the first week.

Compliance · medical-grade

Built for the regulator first.

Patient data lives under stricter rules than commercial CRM data. InTake is configured by default to satisfy GDPR Article 9 (special-category health data), French CNIL guidance, and German BfDI requirements.

For US healthcare requiring HIPAA, contact us — that requires a separate BAA-eligible deployment with US data residency.
