Can an AI Receptionist Schedule in Dentrix Ascend?
When dental practices think about automation, one of the first questions that comes up is:
Can an AI receptionist actually schedule appointments directly in Dentrix Ascend?
The short answer: Yes. Abby, Powervox’s AI receptionist, integrates directly into Dentrix Ascend so she can book appointments, manage requests, and support your team without extra steps.
Let’s break down how it works and why it matters for your practice.
What is Dentrix Ascend and Why Scheduling Is Critical
Dentrix Ascend is one of the most popular cloud-based practice management systems (PMS) for dental offices, especially growing practices and DSOs. It centralizes patient records, scheduling, billing, and communications into one platform.
But even with powerful software, many practices struggle with the same front desk challenges:
Phones ringing off the hook.
Patients waiting on hold.
Missed after-hours calls.
Staff stretched thin with repetitive scheduling tasks.
That’s where Abby comes in.
How Abby, the AI Receptionist, Works with Dentrix Ascend
Unlike other AI receptionists that only capture appointment requests or send call summaries, Abby connects directly to your Dentrix Ascend.
Here’s what she can do:
Schedule patients directly in Dentrix Ascend — using your existing appointment templates and availability.
Handle FAQs — from office hours to insurance questions.
Capture appointment requests — whether during office hours or after-hours.
Manage emergency calls — flagging urgent cases for your team.
Stay HIPAA compliant — ensuring patient data is always protected.
And because Abby integrates directly with your schedule, your team can instantly see the appointments she books, just like they would if a staff member entered them. No double-entry. No extra software. No headaches.
