The Only AI Receptionist with Whisper Transfer

Most AI answering services transfer calls blind—your dentist answers with no idea what they're walking into. CallDispatcher briefs your dentist first, so they can accept or decline before connecting.

Whisper Before Connection

"After-hours call. Dental emergency. Knocked-out adult tooth. Caller James. Tooth is in milk. Happened 20 minutes ago. Press 1 to accept, press 2 to send as ticket."

Dentist Stays in Control

Your dentist decides whether to take the call live or send to a callback ticket—all before the patient hears them.

Built for Emergencies

Pre-configured triggers for "severe pain", "knocked out tooth", "broken tooth", "swelling" and more. Route true emergencies instantly, not every after-hours call.

The Most Human-Sounding AI in the Industry

Voice quality isn't a novelty—it directly impacts your practice. Research shows patients are more likely to stay on the line and complete their call when greeted by natural-sounding voices. Robotic, awkward AI drives callers away.

We partner with the leading AI voice labs to deliver speech that sounds remarkably human—with natural pacing, appropriate pauses, and conversational tone. Your patients will assume they're talking to your receptionist.

Dental-Specific Training

Built for dental practices—not generic. Understands your industry terminology out of the box.

No Sales Call Required

Sign up, configure, and go live in 10 minutes. No demos, no salespeople, no waiting. Just results.

Voice + SMS Answering

Handle both calls and text messages with the same AI. Patients can text "emergency" or call—either way, you're covered.

Intelligent Fallback

If uncertain, the AI captures details and sends a ticket instead of forcing a bad transfer. Never lose context, never disturb your dentist unnecessarily.

Every Missed Call Is a Lost Patient

When your phone rings, you're often with a patient, in a procedure, or closed after hours. That's when calls turn into lost patients—and lost revenue.

Missed Calls During Appointments

You can't answer the phone when you're in the middle of a procedure.

After-Hours Emergencies

True emergencies at 2 AM need fast routing without waking up everyone on the team.

Poor Call Notes

Incomplete details slow down follow-up and reduce your conversion rate on leads.

Your AI Receptionist, Always On

CallDispatcher answers like a real receptionist—not a chatbot or IVR menu. Natural conversation, smart triage, and seamless handoffs.

Human-Like Voice

Natural pacing, short acknowledgements, fully interruptible. No "press 1" experience.

Emergency Triage

Built-in Dental emergency detection. Routes true emergencies instantly.

Warm Transfer

Connects to your dentist with a whisper summary before bridging the caller.

Fail-Soft Design

If uncertain, captures details and sends ticket—never forces a bad transfer.

Your Dentist Never Answers Blind

CallDispatcher connects to your on-call dentist first, provides a 10-second whisper summary, and only then bridges the caller if the dentist accepts.

  • Dentist hears caller name, issue, and details before picking up
  • Press 1 to accept, Press 2 to send as ticket
  • Automatic fallback to backup on-call if no answer
  • Caller hears ringing during whisper—seamless experience

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about CallDispatcher.

We recommend transparency. While CallDispatcher sounds remarkably human—with natural pacing, acknowledgements like "got it" and "okay," and the ability to handle interruptions—it's a best practice to let callers know they're speaking with an AI assistant. This builds trust and sets appropriate expectations.

You have complete control over the greeting. Customize exactly what the AI says when it answers, such as: "Thanks for calling. This is our AI assistant and I can help you right away, or connect you with a team member. How can I help?" Many patients actually prefer getting immediate help from AI over waiting on hold or leaving voicemail.

Our fail-soft design means CallDispatcher never forces a bad decision. If it's uncertain whether something is a true emergency, it captures all the details, creates a ticket, sends it to you and the caller, and tells the caller a dentist will call them shortly. No guessing, no frustrated patients.

No new hardware needed. You can go live today just by forwarding calls from your existing business number to your CallDispatcher number. Forward always, only when busy/no-answer, or only after hours—your choice. You can port your number to us later if you prefer.

Currently, CallDispatcher focuses on emergency triage, appointment capture, and warm transfers to your team. For scheduling, it collects the caller's preferred callback window and sends that in the ticket. Full calendar integration for direct booking is coming soon.

The Basic plan includes: 24/7 AI receptionist, emergency triage, call summaries, and 200 voice minutes per month. Upgrade to Standard ($199/mo) for advanced human-like AI voice and warm transfer with whisper, or Pro ($299/mo) to add SMS capabilities and full call transcriptions. Additional usage is available at low per-unit rates if you exceed the included amounts.

Absolutely. We offer a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Call our live demo number right now to hear exactly how CallDispatcher handles a call—then start your free trial and forward your calls to go live in minutes.

The 14-day free trial showcases our Standard plan features: AI voice answering, emergency triage, warm transfer with whisper, call summaries, and the advanced human-like AI voice. This lets you experience the core technology before committing. SMS/text capabilities are not included in the trial due to carrier registration requirements (see next FAQ).

U.S. carriers require all business SMS to be registered through a compliance process called A2P 10DLC (Application-to-Person 10-Digit Long Code). This isn't something we invented—it's an industry-wide requirement to prevent spam and ensure legitimate business messaging.

The registration process involves two steps:

1. Brand Registration — Your business identity is verified with The Campaign Registry (TCR). This requires your legal business name, EIN (Tax ID), business address, and website.

2. Campaign Registration — Your messaging use case is approved by carriers. We describe how you'll use SMS (appointment notifications, patient updates, etc.) and how patients can opt out.

Timeline: The entire process typically takes 2-4 weeks. Brand registration usually completes within a few days, but campaign approval can take 1-3 weeks depending on carrier review queues.

Good news: We handle all the paperwork for you. When you upgrade to a Pro or Ultimate plan, we'll collect the required information (business name, EIN, address) and manage the entire registration process on your behalf. You'll just need to answer a few questions—we do the rest.

No surprises—just simple per-minute billing. We'll send you email and dashboard alerts at 75% and 90% of your plan usage so you always know where you stand. If you exceed your included minutes, additional usage is billed at straightforward rates:

Voice calls: $0.25 per minute
SMS messages: $0.05 per message

You can also upgrade your plan anytime mid-month, and we'll prorate the difference. If you're consistently going over, upgrading to the next tier usually saves money. And if you want to set a hard cap to prevent any overages, you can enable "pause at limit" in your dashboard settings.

Nope. Unlike other AI answering services that require booking a 30-minute sales call before you can even try their product, CallDispatcher is completely self-service. Sign up, configure your AI receptionist, add your dental team, forward your calls—and you're live. The whole process takes about 10 minutes. No salespeople, no demos, no waiting. Just results.

You're Losing Patients to Text-First Contacts

Here's the revenue you're leaving on the table

41% of patients prefer scheduling service by text over calling
19% prefer texting as their first contact method when reaching dental practices

The problem: When these patients text your practice and get no response (or a generic auto-reply), they move on to the next dental office that does respond.

CallDispatcher captures these leads automatically

  • Missed-call text-back — instantly reaches callers you couldn't answer
  • After-hours auto-reply — captures leads while you sleep, not just during business hours
  • Same emergency triage — urgent texts escalate to your on-call dentist, just like calls
  • Patient-ready tickets — name, concern, issue, urgency collected before you call back
