FOR RECENT GRADS
They taught you
clinical excellence.
They never mentioned that 30% of your future patients would call after hours — and go to your competitor if nobody answers.
You didn't spend four years in school to lose patients to voicemail.
THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE
Missed calls cost you
before you even start.
30%
of new patient calls go to voicemail
$3,000
per year is the full cost of Alora — no per-minute fees
15hrs
per week front desk spends on the phone
$250
per month for an AI that answers every call
HARD TRUTHS
What dental school
didn't teach you.
Your clinical skills aren't enough
You spent four years mastering crown preps and endo. But patients can't schedule with you if nobody answers the phone. The best dentist in town means nothing if the call goes to voicemail.
After hours is where patients call
45% of new patient calls happen outside office hours. Parents researching dentists after bedtime. Professionals calling on lunch breaks. Emergency toothaches at 9pm. If you're not answering, the next practice on Google is.
Your first year is make or break
Building a patient base from scratch is hard. Every single call matters. An AI receptionist that answers 24/7 and books the appointment costs less than one crown — and pays for itself with the patients it saves.
THE FIX
An AI receptionist.
$250/month. Done.
Alora answers every call — 24/7. Books the appointment. Captures insurance details. Routes emergencies. Your patients never hear voicemail again.

1 Figures on missed-call rates, revenue loss from missed calls, after-hours call share, and front-desk phone time are industry estimates compiled from benchmark research and analyst data (Alora research corpus, May 2026). They are used to illustrate the scale of the problem — not measured data from a specific practice.
Alora’s own pilot results — real call and booking data from a live Washington DC practice — will be published as the pilot progresses.
