Will an AI chatbot for dentists replace my receptionist?

No. The chatbot handles the repetitive 80% (booking, reminders, FAQs, recalls) so your receptionist can focus on the 20% that needs a human: greeting walk-ins, handling anxious patients, managing same-day complications. Most clinics keep the same headcount and reassign hours to higher-value tasks.

How does the chatbot stay DPDP Act 2023 compliant?

Three layers: explicit consent banner on first interaction, data minimisation (booking-relevant fields only, no full medical history), and encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+) with a signed Data Processing Agreement. Chat transcripts purge after 90 days by default.

How long does it take to set up?

Solo practitioners finish in a weekend. 4-6 chair clinics take 4-7 working days. Multi-location DSOs plan for 2-3 weeks. The longest part is writing the knowledge base; technical setup is under 4 hours.

What does an AI chatbot for a dental clinic cost in India?

AIChatBot starter plan begins at Rs. 999/month for solo practitioners. The Pro plan at Rs. 2,499-4,999/month suits 4-10 chair practices with WhatsApp, RAG, and drip campaigns. Multi-location group practices run on the Business plan from Rs. 9,999/month. All billed via Razorpay.

Will the bot work in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, or other Indian languages?

Yes. AIChatBot supports Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, and Punjabi as first-class languages, plus 40+ others. Tier-2 and tier-3 city clinics see a 30-45% lift in chat completion rates after switching to multilingual mode.

Can the chatbot integrate with Practo Ray and other practice management software?

Yes. Practo Ray, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft, and Curve integrate via API. Other systems use CSV import, webhook integration, or Google Calendar / Microsoft 365 sync. Custom EMRs get a connector built in 1-2 weeks.

What happens when a patient asks something the bot cannot answer?

The bot is configured with explicit handoff rules. Outside-scope questions route to the right human: emergencies to duty dentist via WhatsApp, complex enquiries to treatment coordinator via email, or reception during business hours. The patient never hits a dead end.
