I'm bad at Instagram. I don't have time for content.
We build it. It never lands on your clinical schedule.
Your patients are messaging you on social media.
Bucktooth answers every Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and text message in seconds, in your voice, with your fees. Built for cosmetic and implant practices, it nurtures each patient until they're ready to book, straight into your calendar and Open Dental.

Instagram gave patients direct access to you. Nobody gave you a way to manage it.

11:47 PM. She messages you about veneers.
Your practice closed six hours ago. She's on the couch, phone in hand, deciding.
8:04 AM. Your team finally sees it.
Eight hours in the dark. She found another practice before breakfast.
Same night, 14 seconds later. Bucktooth has already answered.
Question handled, consult booked for Tuesday 2:00 PM. While you slept.
14 seconds is our median across pilot threads, measured, not promised.
Four ways Bucktooth guides your patients without your staff.
All you do is the consult. Bucktooth does the rest.
Every conversation. One screen.
Owners and office managers see everything the AI says. Flip one switch and a human takes over the thread, mid-conversation.

Hi! What does a full set of veneers usually run?
11:02 PMhey Jessica! great question. every set is designed custom by Dr. Ellison, so it depends on your smile and what you're hoping for. easiest first step is a quick look together. thinking upper only, or full smile?

If your Instagram is quiet, we build the content and run the ads that start conversations. Then the AI takes every one of them to a booked consult.
- 1ContentWe make the posts that get patients messaging. Already posting? Skip it.
- 2AdsMeta campaigns aimed at the cases you want: all-on-X, veneers, full arch.
- 3MessagingThe AI answers every DM in your voice, 24/7, and follows up on day 2, 5, 12.
- 4BookedConsults land in your calendar. You do the consult.
But what if you're thinking…
Six things every dentist says before the demo, dealt as a deck. Read one, then throw it away.
I've never run ads before.
We run them, aimed at all-on-X, veneers, full arch.
I don't get messages on Instagram.
That's what the DM campaigns are for. Conversations start in your zip code.
I already have someone who responds.
Does she answer at 11:47 PM on a Friday? Follow up on day 5 and 12?
I don't know how to make content that converts.
You don't have to. Our frameworks turn profile viewers into DMs.
Only my friends message me right now.
Once the ads are on, stranger inquiries replace friend DMs inside 48 hours.
That's every worry we hear.
Bring the seventh to the demo. We answer it live, on your real numbers.
The obvious essentials.
HIPAA compliant
BAA available. Patient data is never sold, never used to train outside models, and fully encrypted in transit and at rest.
One-click human takeover
The instant your staff types on Instagram, the AI goes quiet. Every thread, your call, any time.
Live in 24 hours
Connect Instagram and your calendar. Setup takes an afternoon with our white-glove onboarding team.
Strict guardrails
It only quotes from the fee sheet you approve. It can never invent discounts or make unauthorised clinical claims.
Connected to Open Dental
(Coming soon) Booked consults sync directly to your practice management software, not another inbox to check.
Doesn't feel like AI
Built inside a real practice on real treatment-coordinator conversations. If a patient asks directly if it's AI, it says yes, warmly, and keeps helping.
Nine teammates. Four plans.

Thirty minutes. We put Bucktooth on your practice's real questions: your fees, your treatments, your late-night DMs. You watch it work, live.
Prefer email? info@bucktooth.io. A human reads it.
Asked by every dentist we talk to.
It doesn't feel like one. Lowercase, warm, occasionally imperfect, like a person typing on their phone. And if a patient asks directly, it answers honestly, then gets back to helping.
It never diagnoses and never gives medical advice. Clinical questions get a warm handoff to a consult with you. Clinical judgment stays exactly where it belongs.
One click. The moment your staff types, the AI goes silent on that thread and stays silent until you hand it back.
Every conversation is recorded and visible on your dashboard. Guardrails keep it inside your approved fees and answers, and anything it isn't sure about becomes a handoff instead of a guess.
Live in under 24 hours. Connect Instagram and your calendar; setup takes an afternoon.
HIPAA-aware by design. BAA available. Never sold, never used to train outside models.
ManyChat is a good tool for simple automations: keyword in, canned reply out. Bucktooth reads nuance: it handles cost and fear like a seasoned treatment coordinator and adapts mid-conversation.
You set the schedule the AI books into, and you can change it any time. Things change. You keep complete control of your calendar.
Every conversation feeds your dashboard: contact info, a 1–10 readiness score, and a summary of what they want, what they're worried about, and what was holding them back, so you walk into the consult already knowing them.
