Why Your Practice Is Losing Patients After Hours

Missed calls are the #1 source of lost new-patient revenue for dental practices. Here's what the data says.

Read →

Studies show that over 60% of new dental patient calls go unanswered outside of business hours — and 85% of those callers never call back. Praxis AI's Voice Agent answers every call 24/7, books appointments directly into your PMS, and follows up with patients who didn't complete scheduling. Practices that deploy a voice AI typically recover 15–30 new patient appointments per month within the first 90 days.

The Local SEO Checklist Every Dental Practice Needs in 2026

Google's local pack drives more than half of new dental patient searches. Are you showing up — or sending patients to your competitors?

Read →

Ranking in Google's local 3-pack for searches like "dentist near me" can drive 40–70 new patient inquiries per month for a single-location practice. Praxis AI's SEO Agent automatically publishes geo-targeted service pages, optimizes your Google Business Profile, builds local citations, and monitors keyword rankings weekly — all without requiring any action from your front desk team.

How AI Smile Previews Are Closing More Cosmetic Cases

Patients who see a simulation of their smile are 3× more likely to accept a cosmetic treatment plan on the same day.

Read →

The Praxis AI Smile Simulator lets patients upload a selfie and see a realistic AI-generated preview of veneers, whitening, or orthodontic results before committing to treatment. Practices using the simulator report a 3× lift in same-day case acceptance for cosmetic procedures and a significant reduction in the number of consultations needed to close a case — saving both the patient's and provider's time.

From Single Location to DSO: How AI Scales With Your Practice

Dental groups using centralized AI infrastructure grow faster, spend less on staffing, and deliver a more consistent patient experience.

Read →

Multi-location dental groups that deploy Praxis AI across all locations benefit from a single dashboard to monitor call volumes, SEO rankings, and case acceptance rates by location. Group administrators can configure brand guidelines and scripts once and push them across every location instantly — eliminating the inconsistency that typically comes with rapid expansion and reducing the administrative overhead of managing multiple front desk teams.

HIPAA and AI: What Dental Practices Need to Know

Using AI tools in a healthcare setting isn't inherently risky — but it does require the right infrastructure and agreements in place.

Read →

Any AI vendor that handles protected health information (PHI) on behalf of a dental practice must sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and operate on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. Praxis AI includes a BAA with every plan, encrypts all data at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2+, and maintains a SOC 2 Type II audit program. Our call recordings and AI transcripts are stored for 90 days by default, with configurable shorter retention available in account settings.

Introducing the Praxis AI Practice Dashboard

One place to see your call volume, SEO rankings, and smile simulation conversions — with weekly email digests included.

Read →

The Praxis AI dashboard gives practice owners and office managers a unified view of performance across all three AI agents. See how many calls were answered, how many appointments were booked, which keywords you rank for, and how many smile simulations converted to consultations — all in one place. Weekly digest emails surface the most important metrics automatically so you stay informed without logging in every day.
