Dental clinics and allied health

AI receptionist for dental clinics and allied health teams

Donova answers routine calls, captures patient enquiries and supports appointment workflows for Australian dental clinics and allied health teams using approved information and routing rules.

Routine calls can be handled while the clinical team stays focused on patients.

Common calls

Support routine reception scenarios without crossing clinical boundaries.

Configure Donova around the calls your front desk handles repeatedly, then keep staff available for situations that need human judgement.

NPNew-patient enquiries

Capture contact details, the reason for the enquiry and the caller’s preferred next step for staff follow up.

AFApproved service and fee information

Share only the service, fee and availability wording the clinic has reviewed and approved.

APAppointment requests or changes

Capture booking, cancellation or rescheduling requests and use the configured practice or calendar workflow.

AHAfter-hours instructions

Provide the clinic’s approved after-hours message and route callers according to documented rules.

ESEscalation to staff

Transfer or flag sensitive, urgent or complex calls when the clinic’s handover rules require a person.

Operational boundaries

Keep diagnosis and clinical advice with qualified people.

Donova must never diagnose, give clinical advice or invent an answer. It should use only clinic-approved wording, opening hours, service information, fee guidance and routing rules.

Calls outside the approved workflow should be captured and escalated to staff. Review the broader Donova product workflow and call-handling features when deciding what should be automated and what should remain human-led.

Clinic-approved configuration

  • Approved greetings and caller questions
  • Service and fee wording the clinic is comfortable sharing
  • Appointment and cancellation rules
  • After-hours instructions
  • Clear transfer and escalation pathways

How it works

A practical path from incoming call to staff follow up.

11. Configure

Provide the approved clinic information, questions and handover rules Donova may use.

22. Route calls

Forward all calls, after-hours calls or unanswered calls into the agreed workflow.

33. Capture and summarise

Donova records the caller’s request and prepares a structured summary for the team.

44. Follow up or escalate

Staff action the summary or receive the call directly when the approved rules require escalation.

Evaluate fit

Questions to answer before launch.

  • Does the proposed workflow fit your calendar or practice-management process?
  • Which calls must transfer to a person, and who is available to receive them?
  • What coverage is needed after hours, during busy periods or for unanswered calls?
  • Which details must appear in every call summary?
  • How will the clinic test greetings, answers, routing and handover before launch?

Connected workflows

Donova can support Nookal, Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar and HubSpot where the relevant workflow is configured. Review the documented integration pathways rather than assuming a system is connected by default.

Compare the available pricing options, then discuss your call types and boundaries before choosing a setup.
