AI Receptionist for Dental Practices in Melbourne
Melbourne dental practices are losing new patients to missed calls every single day. Steve, Aussie AI Agency's AI voice receptionist, answers every call 24/7 — triaging emergencies, capturing booking requests, and sending you an instant SMS for every interaction.
Why Melbourne Dental Practices Miss Calls
Melbourne's dental market is highly competitive — practices from the CBD to Bayside, inner north, and outer east all compete for the same patients. When a patient calls with a toothache and reaches voicemail, they immediately call the next practice on Google Maps. That practice wins the patient relationship worth $5,000–$22,000.
After-hours is the sharpest pain point. Melbourne dental practices typically close by 5:30pm, but patients search in the evening after work. Without an answering service, 85% won't leave a voicemail — they just move on.

Pricing for Melbourne Dental Practices
Plans start from $149/month for 100 included voice minutes and 50 SMS — month-to-month, cancel any time. For a Melbourne dental practice, recovering one new patient per month more than covers the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service all Melbourne suburbs?
Yes. Steve is a cloud-based AI receptionist — it works across all Melbourne suburbs from CBD to outer metro. Your existing phone number stays the same; we just configure call forwarding.
Does Steve work with our dental software in Melbournepage.tsx?
We connect Steve to your systems as part of setup. Google Calendar is the only booking integration we have built today, so for dental software such as Dentally, Praktika, Centaur or EXACT we'll confirm on your free demo how Steve fits your booking workflow — for example capturing the request and notifying your team by SMS.
How quickly can a Melbourne dental practice go live?
Within 3 business days of your go-ahead, after a free 30-minute demo with Niel. We configure Steve for your practice, set up call forwarding, test the call flow, and you're live. Then we spend up to 2 weeks fine-tuning Steve on your real calls to make sure he does the job for you, and keep improving him from there.
Where is call data stored, and how is it protected?
We handle caller data under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. It's encrypted in transit and at rest, access is limited to your authorised staff, and we never sell caller data. Some of our service providers (for example our AI, voice, telephony and hosting providers) may process data in the United States and other countries — our privacy policy (aussieaiagency.com.au/legal/privacy) lists them.
What happens to after-hours dental emergencies in Melbourne?
Steve identifies emergency language, captures the patient's details and symptoms, and sends you a priority SMS alert immediately — including evenings and weekends.
