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.

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 happens if the AI doesn't know an answer?+
Salva is built to defer, not guess. 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.
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.
