A cracked tooth at 21:00, a mother looking for a Saturday appointment, a question about Discovery medical aid — these arrive when the front desk has gone home. AskZuri answers them in seconds, in your practice's own words.
R499/month · 14-day trial, no card · Rand prices exclude VAT
It is rarely the quote. It is the hour between the enquiry and the reply. These are the three places it happens most.
The emergency patient calls three practices. The one that answers gets the case, and usually the family.
If nobody answers "what will this cost me", the patient assumes the worst and phones around.
A receptionist checking someone in cannot also answer the phone. That is the whole gap.
These are the messages that decide whether a dentist gets the job. An assistant that answers them properly is worth more than another advert.
You write it once, in your own words. The assistant never invents a price, a policy or a promise.
What it will not do: it does not give professional advice, does not diagnose, and does not pretend to be a human when asked directly.
A check-up and clean is often R900 to R1,500. A crown or root canal is commonly R4,000 to R9,000. One recovered emergency case a month covers a Growth plan; two covers it comfortably.
You do not need a marketing budget to fix this. You need the enquiry answered while the customer is still holding the phone.
Website chat, WhatsApp and after-hours enquiries get a real answer immediately, not an auto-reply that says “we'll be in touch”.
Every enquiry is checked and scored. Hot, contactable leads come to your phone with one tap to call or WhatsApp. The rest wait in a daily summary.
Name, number, what they need and permission to reply. One place, not five apps and a notebook.
Most dentists are live within a day. The 14-day trial needs no card, and there is no setup fee on Essentials or Growth.
One price list, no per-lead charges, no annual lock-in.
Website chat and WhatsApp answered 24/7, leads on your phone, a daily summary. The plan most small businesses start on.
Everything in Essentials plus calendar bookings, quotes, follow-ups, voice notes and a lead inbox with a pipeline.
Everything in Growth plus a real AI phone line on your own number, with a R999 once-off setup.
Rand prices exclude VAT. Every plan starts with a 14-day trial, no card. If AskZuri does not bring you work in 60 days, we keep working free until it does.
No. It answers questions about the practice — hours, prices, medical aids, appointment types, location, parking — books the appointment, and takes the details. Anything clinical is handed to your team with the patient's details attached.
Yes. Each branch gets its own page and its own WhatsApp link, with its own hours, dentists and prices. Leads arrive labelled with the branch so the right front desk sees them.
It can give your emergency instructions exactly as you wrote them, take the patient's name and number, and alert the on-call number. It will not invent advice you did not give it.
The demo is built from your website in about 30 seconds. Going live on your own WhatsApp and site is typically a day, including checking the answers against your price list.
Leave your details and we will build the receptionist from your own website, then send you the link. One working day, no obligation.
