Honest comparison

An AI receptionist answers the call. LPS proves the patient got booked.

AI dental receptionists are getting good — and phone answering is becoming a commodity. But the phone is only one of five places your schedule leaks. Xona’s Leakage Prevention System covers the call and recall backlog, cancellations, open chair time, and unscheduled treatment — then verifies every outcome against your dental software.

This table describes typical standalone AI receptionist scope (answering, booking, missed-call text-back). Specific products vary — some add recall outreach or analytics. The structural difference is the closed loop: LPS measures recovered outcomes from the clinic’s reviewed dental-software workflow instead of stopping at "call answered."

Built Canada-first

ClearDent, Tracker, and Oryx live today — the systems most Canadian clinics actually run.

Evidence, not industry averages

Common questions

Is Xona an AI receptionist?

Xona includes an AI voice agent for after-hours and overflow calls, but that is one workflow inside the Leakage Prevention System. An AI receptionist answers the call; LPS also covers recall backlog, cancellations, open chair time, and treatment follow-up — and proves the outcome from your dental software.

Why does the outcome loop matter?

Answering a call is not the result — a booked, kept appointment is. LPS tracks every recovered item to a verified outcome (booked, saved, reviewed) through the clinic’s reviewed dental-software workflow, so the owner sees what was actually recovered, not just what was answered.

Which dental software does Xona support?

Xona is built Canada-first: ClearDent, Tracker, and Oryx are live today, plus CareCru and RecallMax online booking; Dentrix and Open Dental are not live yet. Most AI receptionists integrate US systems first.
