Data Driven Dentistry
Saison 8 · Épisode 299
vendredi 21 novembre 2025 • Durée 39:34
In this episode, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Paul Chadwick, VP at PureLogic, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way dental practices operate — especially at the front desk. Paul breaks down how PureLogic leverages AI, analytics, and automation to improve patient communication, reduce missed calls, and enhance practice efficiency. Together, they discuss what "data-driven dentistry" really means, how AI can empower rather than replace staff, and what metrics matter most for growth.
Whether you're a solo practitioner, part of a DSO, or just curious about AI's practical applications in dentistry, this conversation will give you real-world insights into using data to drive smarter decisions and better patient experiences.
Here are some of the interesting stff we talked about in this episode.
AI isn't the future—it's here now. Dental practices using AI to analyze calls and automate responses are already improving conversion rates and reducing missed opportunities.
Missed calls are hidden revenue leaks. The average practice misses 30–40% of calls, and PureLogic's data shows that following up with AI-powered text can recover many of those lost appointments.
Patient preference matters. Voice, text, and chat-based AI tools meet patients where they are, improving satisfaction and accessibility.
KPIs drive decisions. Tracking missed call rates, conversion rates, and patient engagement metrics can reveal where your practice is losing revenue—and how to fix it.
AI + people = the winning combo. The goal isn't to replace front office staff, but to free them up to focus on relationships and in-person care.
