After-hours dental answering, on your website

What Clara solves for you

Most of your website traffic arrives after the front desk has gone home.

Patients research dentists in the evening, on weekends, and over holidays — exactly when your office is dark and no one is there to reply. Clara stays on your site around the clock, answers the questions a prospective patient actually asks, and books the visit right then, so an after-hours inquiry gets a real answer instead of silence.

An unanswered after-hours question bounces straight to the next practice.

When a visitor lands on your site at 9pm with a question and nothing responds, they click back to Google and message the practice that does. Clara replies instantly and reads your live availability to book the appointment on the spot, so that late-night visitor becomes your patient rather than a competitor's.

Some questions really do need your team — and those get lost overnight.

Not every after-hours question can be resolved in the chat, and a patient shouldn't have to remember to call back tomorrow. When something needs the office, Clara captures the patient's name, contact, and question and emails it to your practice, so it's waiting at the front desk first thing in the morning.

How Clara fits your business

Add Clara to your website and connect her to your scheduling system — she works with Open Dental, NexHealth, Dentrix, and Eaglesoft, as well as Cal.com, Calendly, and Acuity. Once connected, she reads your real open times, providers, and appointment types, so the visits she books after hours are ones you can actually keep.

You hear her on a live preview tuned to your practice. If she sounds right, you embed one <script> tag on your site — it works on every common dental-practice CMS. From then on she answers patient questions and books appointments around the clock, and anything that needs a human is captured and emailed to your office in real time, ready for the morning. This runs entirely on your website and complements whatever you already do for phones.

Pricing is flat per practice — $49/mo for text-only chat or $99/mo for the voice tier where Clara speaks her replies inside the widget. No per-seat charges, no per-conversation fees, and after-hours coverage costs the same as daytime.

Frequently asked questions

Does Clara answer our phone after hours?

No. Clara is a receptionist for your website, not your phone lines. She handles the patients who land on your site after hours — answering their questions and booking appointments in the chat — and complements whatever you already do for calls and voicemail.

Can Clara really book appointments while the office is closed?

Yes. Clara reads your live availability from your scheduling system and writes the appointment in, so a patient can book, reschedule, or cancel at midnight and your front desk sees it the moment they open the schedule — no callback, no re-typing.

What happens if a patient asks something Clara can't handle after hours?

She captures it for you. Clara saves the patient's name, contact, and question and emails it to your practice in real time, so the inquiry is waiting at the front desk in the morning instead of getting lost overnight.

What does after-hours coverage cost?

The same as everything else. Pricing is flat per practice — $49/mo for text-only chat or $99/mo for the voice tier — with no per-conversation or per-seat fees. Clara covers nights, weekends, and holidays at no extra charge.
