Live transcript
Patient
Hi, I've had this throbbing pain in my back molar since last night and it's getting worse. I can't sleep.
Salva
I'm so sorry to hear that. Pain that's worsening overnight can signal something urgent — I'm flagging this for the team right now. Can I get your full name and a callback number?
Patient
Sarah Mitchell, 555-0182.
Salva
Thank you, Sarah. I'm alerting Dr. Chen's emergency line as we speak. You'll get a callback within minutes. If the pain becomes severe or you develop swelling, please go to the ER.
Safety By Design

Built to defer, never to guess.

The question every dentist asks first: "What if it says something wrong?" Salva never diagnoses, never quotes treatment plans, and never confirms benefits.

Clinical questions defer

"Will this tooth need a root canal?" gets a polite deferral and a queued callback with the question logged — never an AI diagnosis.

Emergencies escalate — always

Detection runs on every turn of every call, even mid-booking. Your team is alerted instantly — and if no one is reachable, Salva speaks a 911 / ER directive before the call ends. Guaranteed.

Confusion hands off

If Salva can't parse a caller, it asks once for clarification, then offers a human transfer or schedules a callback. Never a guess — always a defer or handoff.

Core Workflows

Handles the calls your team doesn't have time for.

Four core workflows, tailored to your practice. Live in 5 minutes — with total control over every response.

The 24/7 Receptionist

Answers every call in your practice's exact tone — FAQs, office hours, directions, and instant "do you take my insurance?" answers from your accepted-carriers list. After-hours included.

Natural conversationInsurance answers

Real Open Dental Booking

Not message-taking — real calendar writes. Salva checks live availability and creates the appointment directly in Open Dental, over voice andchat, with a slot re-check before every write so double-bookings can't happen.

Voice + chatNo double-bookings

Smart Handoff

You pick the topics that go to a human. Salva transfers the call live and whispers the context to your staff first — or switches to take-a-message after hours. Emergencies always ring through.

One-Click Patient Callback

Every conversation in your Inbox has a call button. One click rings the patient back — showing your practice's own number as the caller ID, so patients actually pick up. From your desk phone or right in the browser.

Still on the fence?

Answers to the questions practices ask us most.

Will my patients know they're talking to AI?+
Yes — by design. Salva introduces itself when it answers, and you control the exact wording. Patients consistently rate the experience higher than voicemail or hold queues because they get an immediate answer instead of waiting.
What if it says something wrong to a patient?+
Salva is built to defer, not guess. It never diagnoses, never quotes treatment-plan pricing, and never confirms insurance benefits — those get a polite deferral and land in your Inbox as a callback with the question logged. You can also add plain-English rules in Settings → Do's & Don'ts to fence off anything else.
What happens if the AI doesn't know an answer?+
Clinical questions, treatment-plan pricing, and anything outside the rules you set get a polite handoff: the AI offers to take a message, schedule a callback, or transfer the call to your team (on Pro and Growth plans). The conversation lands in your Inbox with the patient's question logged.
Is Salva HIPAA-aligned?+
Salva is built on a HIPAA-aligned architecture — AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, with additional field-level encryption for stored integration credentials, row-level access controls, U.S.-only data residency, and audited webhook signing. A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available on Pro and Growth plans. See the BAA page for details.
What if I'm not on Open Dental?+
You can still use everything. Salva captures the booking on the call or chat, routes it to your Inbox with the patient's name, contact, and requested time, and your team enters it into Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Curve, or your paper book in your normal flow. Same AI, same dashboard, same alerts — no PMS integration required.
Do I have to port my phone number?+
No. Salva uses simple call forwarding. Patients still dial the same number you've always published — the carrier forwards those calls straight to Salva, so your office line doesn't ring. Outbound calls from your office still work normally. Every plan also includes a backup Twilio number you can publish if you prefer. See the setup guide for your carrier's *72 sequence.
What happens if I run out of voice minutes?+
Nothing dramatic — and never a dropped patient. When a plan's monthly voice minutes run out, new calls are silently forwarded to your office line, exactly like before you had Salva. Chat keeps working. Your dashboard shows usage in real time so it never sneaks up on you.
Can I cancel any time?+
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Plan changes and cancellation are self-serve through the Stripe billing portal in your Dashboard. Annual plans get a ~20% discount but otherwise have identical features.
