Texas-first automation for dental practices

Your schedule is leaking revenue before treatment even starts.
We help recover the front desk workflow around it.

Clear Automations builds non-PHI public audit flows and fake-data workflow demos for dental practices that want faster response, fewer empty chairs, better recall, and clearer treatment-plan follow-up.

The leak is operational

Dental practices do not need more front desk busywork.

01

New-patient calls get missed during chairside rushes, lunch breaks, and end-of-day overflow.

02

Cancellations and no-shows leave empty production time unless the team has a fast, organized recovery path.

03

Recall lists and treatment plans are valuable, but follow-up often depends on whoever has time after the day is already full.

The first public workflow stays outside PHI. Patient-like recall, no-show, and treatment-plan demos use fake data only until BAA, vendor, hosting, access, and retention controls are approved.

Three phases. One compliance boundary.

Start with the public front desk.
Move into patient workflows only when ready.

Phase 1

New-Patient Lead Recovery

Available now - non-PHI only

Faster response to missed calls and public inquiries

Setup

$4,500

Monthly

$450/mo

Timeline

2-4 weeks

  • -Dental practice audit form collecting only business contact data
  • -Missed-call callback queue for new-patient inquiries
  • -Front desk workflow map for calls, web forms, and booking requests
  • -Non-clinical owner dashboard for response speed and lead outcomes
  • -Approved copy boundaries for what automation can and cannot ask

The public workflow avoids patient names, symptoms, treatment details, insurance IDs, appointment reasons, clinical notes, x-rays, and payment card data.

Phase 2

No-Show and Recall Recovery

Fake-data demo until BAA readiness

Fewer empty chairs and cleaner hygiene follow-up

Setup

$7,500

Monthly

$750/mo

Timeline

Limited pilot

  • -Cancellation and no-show recovery workflow
  • -Hygiene recall segmentation and reactivation workflow
  • -Schedule gap fill workflow using approved contact lists
  • -PMS handoff design where supported
  • -Opt-in and message-frequency review

Production patient workflows require the approved BAA chain, vendor review, access controls, retention settings, and practice-approved copy.

Phase 3

Treatment Plan Recovery

Fake-data demo until clinical boundary review

More diagnosed work moved into scheduled care

Setup

$9,500

Monthly

$1,250/mo

Timeline

Limited pilot

  • -Treatment-plan follow-up classification using approved records only
  • -Patient-friendly next-step reminders approved by the practice
  • -Financial coordinator task queue
  • -Unscheduled treatment dashboard
  • -Post-visit review request workflow

AI does not recommend treatment, discuss clinical care, or make insurance/payment promises.

Phase 1 is available as a non-PHI workflow. Phase 2 and Phase 3 require compliance prerequisites before production launch.

Non-PHI public audit

The public form collects practice and business workflow data only.

BAA before patient workflows

Recall, appointment, and treatment-plan production flows require approved BAA and vendor controls.

No clinical advice by AI

AI may route and remind; it does not diagnose, recommend treatment, or discuss care decisions.

Patient data boundary

Demo workflows use fake data until access controls, retention, opt-in, and approved copy are complete.

Compliance-aware services around the dental workflow.

HIPAA Readiness Review

$2,000 flat

A practical readiness pass before any patient-facing production workflow is considered.

  • -Vendor inventory
  • -Workflow map
  • -Data boundary review
  • -Remediation priorities

Front Desk Script Pack

$1,000 flat

Approved language for missed calls, reminders, recall, and treatment-plan follow-up.

  • -Callback scripts
  • -Reminder copy
  • -Escalation rules
  • -Staff-facing SOPs

Schedule Gap Sprint

$1,500 flat

A focused build to surface near-term openings and match them with approved fake-data demo segments first.

  • -Gap logic
  • -Eligible segment map
  • -Message cadence
  • -Owner report

Tools policy

Tools we use around the dental workflow

The demo uses self-hosted n8n as the workflow backbone. Any production patient workflow must use BAA-covered vendors and practice-approved data handling.

Allowed with prerequisites

Self-hosted n8n

Coordinates intake, callback, reminder, recall, treatment-plan, review, and reporting workflows after hosting controls are approved.

Retell AI (HIPAA-included with self-service BAA)

Voice agent for new-patient callback. HIPAA included on standard paid plans; BAA via self-service portal. Replaces Vapi for production deployment because Vapi's $1,000/mo flat HIPAA add-on is uneconomic at SMB dental volume.

Anthropic HIPAA-eligible API or OpenAI HIPAA-eligible API

Only HIPAA-eligible API use cases and eligible zero-retention endpoints after BAA approval. Anthropic Claude preferred for patient-friendly copy generation.

Twilio Security or Enterprise Edition

Required if SMS or voice could ever carry patient-specific information. Replaces Telnyx for healthcare verticals; ~30% cost premium is the cost of the BAA.

Practice-owned PMS or CRM

Production integrations depend on Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Curve, HubSpot, or export options available to the practice.

Not used for PHI workflows

Public patient intake

The public audit form does not collect patient symptoms, treatment details, insurance IDs, or appointment reasons.

AI diagnosis or treatment advice

AI does not recommend clinical care, interpret x-rays, or discuss diagnoses.

Standard automation tools for PHI

Avoid non-BAA paths for patient-facing workflows.

Hidden data ownership

Clear Automations should not own the practice's phone number, PMS exports, workflow exports, or contact list.

This is a planning model, not a case study. Replace it with approved client numbers after a pilot.

You own the workflow.

Your website, PMS, CRM, reminders, workflows, templates, and patient list stay in your accounts.

The public lane stays non-PHI.

The first audit collects practice and business data only, while deeper patient workflows stay fake-data demos until the BAA path is approved.

Built around front desk leaks.

The system focuses on missed calls, no-shows, recall, treatment-plan follow-up, schedule gaps, and owner visibility.

Common questions

Before patient data enters the system

Does the public form collect PHI?+

No. It collects practice and business workflow data only. Do not include patient names, treatment details, insurance IDs, appointment reasons, x-rays, or clinical notes.

Will you sign a BAA?+

BAA review is required before production patient workflows begin. The public audit and demo workflows are intentionally non-PHI or fake-data only.

Can this work with my practice software?+

The first build can run beside your current tools. Direct integrations depend on your PMS, account access, export options, and compliance approval.

Can AI talk about dental treatment?+

No. AI can help route, remind, classify, and summarize approved workflow data. It does not diagnose, recommend treatment, interpret x-rays, or discuss clinical care.

What does the audit form collect?+

Only practice and business data: practice name, contact, website, provider count, current tools, monthly volume, and the biggest workflow leak.
