AI receptionist for Dentrix Ascend practices

What Clara solves for you

Your Dentrix Ascend schedule has openings — patients just can't reach them after hours.

Most dental site visits happen evenings and weekends, when your front desk is closed and the open slots in Dentrix Ascend sit empty. Clara reads your live Dentrix Ascend availability and books the visit right then, so a prospective patient schedules instead of clicking back to Google and calling the next practice.

New-patient inquiries pile up while your team is on the phone or chairside.

A dental front desk juggles calls, check-ins, and insurance verification all at once, and website inquiries wait. Clara answers every web inquiry instantly and books the appointment straight into Dentrix Ascend, so the front desk sees it the moment they look up — no callback, no re-keying.

Reschedules and cancellations tie up the phone.

Every "can I move my appointment?" is another call your team has to stop and handle. Clara lets patients reschedule or cancel in the chat and updates Dentrix Ascend directly, so the change is already reflected when your team opens the schedule.

How Clara fits your business

Add Clara to your website and connect it to Dentrix Ascend. Because Dentrix Ascend is a cloud practice-management system, there is nothing to install — no local connector to run on an office computer the way on-premise systems like Dentrix or Eaglesoft require. Clara connects to your Dentrix Ascend through a secure NexHealth connection, with no NexHealth account for you to manage, and reads your real availability, providers, and appointment types straight from your schedule.

You hear her on a live preview tuned to your practice. If she sounds right, you embed one <script> tag on your site — it works on every common dental-practice CMS. Every appointment she books, reschedules, or cancels is written straight into Dentrix Ascend, and every contact she captures is emailed to your office in real time.

Pricing is flat per practice — $49/mo for text-only chat or $99/mo for the voice tier where Clara speaks her replies inside the widget. No per-seat charges, no per-conversation fees.

Frequently asked questions

Does Clara book appointments directly into Dentrix Ascend?

Yes. Clara reads your live Dentrix Ascend availability and writes the appointment into your schedule — so your front desk sees it immediately, with no re-typing. She can reschedule and cancel appointments the same way.

Do we need a NexHealth account or any software to install?

No. Clara connects to your Dentrix Ascend through a secure NexHealth connection, and there is no NexHealth account for you to manage. Because Dentrix Ascend is cloud-based, there is also no local connector to install — that step only applies to on-premise systems like Dentrix or Eaglesoft.

Can patients reschedule or cancel their own appointments?

Yes. A patient can reschedule or cancel right in the chat, and Clara updates Dentrix Ascend directly, so the change is reflected in your schedule without anyone on your team picking up the phone.

What patient information does Clara access in Dentrix Ascend?

Only what scheduling needs. Clara reads open appointment times and writes the appointment; when a new patient books, it saves the booking details they type. It does not read clinical charts, treatment history, or account balances.
