You invested in Open Dental to run a tight, well-organized practice. But every missed call at your dental office is a patient who books somewhere else. One missed call, one dental office lost patient. Without a dental answering service, your front desk can't keep up.
- Schedule sits in Open Dental — but nobody answers the phone
- After hours calls go to voicemail, patients don't leave messages
- Front desk manually enters appointments — time-consuming, error-prone
- Dental office missed calls pile up because callers give up and book elsewhere
- Every call answered in under 2 seconds — 24/7 dental answering service, including after hours
- Automated dental appointment booking directly into Open Dental, zero staff effort
- New patients added to Open Dental records automatically
- Dental front desk automation — open slots fill themselves while your team focuses on in-office care

Common questions about dental phone answering service for Open Dental
Do I need to install anything in Open Dental?
No. StrattoVoice connects through Open Dental's API. You don't install a plugin or modify your Open Dental configuration. Our team handles the dental practice management phone integration during your onboarding call.
Will it book appointments in the right operatory and with the right provider?
Yes. We read your provider schedules and operatory assignments from Open Dental and book according to your existing rules. Our Open Dental appointment scheduling respects your scheduling logic exactly as you've configured it.
What happens when a patient calls after hours?
StrattoVoice provides after hours dental phone coverage around the clock. It answers the call, checks your Open Dental schedule for the next available slot, and books the appointment directly — your team sees it first thing in the morning, fully confirmed. No more missed calls at your dental office.
Can it handle new patients who aren't in Open Dental yet?
Yes. For new patients, StrattoVoice collects their name, date of birth, contact information, and insurance carrier, then creates a new patient record in Open Dental as part of the automated dental appointment booking flow.
Is this HIPAA-compliant?
Yes. StrattoVoice is a HIPAA-compliant dental answering service. A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is included with every plan. All patient data is processed and stored under HIPAA-compliant controls — the same standards your dental practice already follows.
Is this an auto attendant or IVR for Open Dental?
No — StrattoVoice is much more than an Open Dental auto attendant or Open Dental IVR. Instead of forcing callers through menus and button presses, StrattoVoice has a natural conversation with the patient, checks live availability in Open Dental, and books the appointment on the spot. It's an Open Dental AI receptionist for dental practices that handles calls the way a great front desk team would — true Open Dental automation, not button-pressing.
Can a phone answering service work for a small dental practice?
Absolutely. StrattoVoice works as a phone answering service for small business dental practices just as well as multi-location offices. Solo practitioners and small practices often benefit the most — when you have one or two people at the front desk, every missed call is a bigger deal. Our Starter plan is built specifically for small dental practices using Open Dental.
Does this replace my patient scheduling software?
No. StrattoVoice is not patient scheduling software — it works alongside Open Dental, your existing dental practice management system. Think of it as a dental receptionist service that sits in front of your scheduling software, answering calls and booking directly into Open Dental. Nothing changes about how your team uses Open Dental day to day.
How long does setup take?
Most Open Dental practices are fully connected and live within 30 minutes on their onboarding call. Our team handles the entire Open Dental phone answering setup — we've done this many times and know the Open Dental API well.
Stop missing calls. Start filling your Open Dental schedule 24/7.
