Before & After

Before

Family Dental Center's spreadsheet-based patient tracking across 3 locations

After

Family Dental Center's AI-powered dashboard with task queues and data chat

Where FDC started

Three offices. Two different dental CRMs. Thousands of records. No way to see the big picture.

Three locations — data siloed across Dentrix and Live DDM
Thousands of patient records, no way to query them
Overdue cleanings buried in spreadsheets nobody opens
Stale accounts and unpaid balances invisible to staff
Missed calls during business hours, zero coverage after
Manual outreach — generic, slow, easy to ignore

What we're building

A full agentic system — AI that doesn't just answer questions, it runs the practice.

AI Data Chat

"Show me overdue accounts." "Who missed appointments this month?" "List stale patients at Cobourg." Staff asks questions in plain English and gets answers from their actual CRM data. No SQL, no spreadsheets.

Accounts Receivable Automation

The system flags overdue balances, surfaces payment plan candidates, and generates prioritized collection task lists. Organized by impact and urgency — not random spreadsheet order.

Auto-Generated Task Queues

AI analyzes CRM exports and creates categorized tasks: billing issues, patient recalls, follow-ups, missed calls, treatment plans. Staff sees exactly what to do, sorted by priority. Monday morning meetings replaced with a live task board.

24/7 AI Phone Coverage

Never miss an appointment request. AI answers calls around the clock — handles scheduling questions, routes emergencies, and captures caller details. Patients get instant responses, not voicemail.

Learn about this service
Social Media Channel Booking

Patients can reach out and book through every channel — Facebook, Instagram, website. All conversations funnel into one system. No more checking five platforms to find who messaged what.

Learn about this service
Personalized Patient Outreach

Custom, data-driven outreach based on each patient's history. Overdue cleaning reminders, treatment follow-ups, reactivation campaigns — all personalized, all automated. Not "Dear Patient" blasts.

Learn about this service
Multi-Location Dashboard

All three offices in one view. KPIs, patient counts, pending tasks, active AI agents. No more switching between Dentrix and Live DDM to understand the business.

Learn about this service
Stale Patient Recovery

AI identifies patients who haven't been seen in 6, 12, 18+ months. Cross-references with treatment history to prioritize high-value reactivations. Staff gets a focused list, not a 2,000-row export.

EvolveOngoing

New agents added weekly — social booking, stale patient recovery, multi-location dashboard

We went from drowning in spreadsheets to having AI that answers our questions about three locations of patient data. The phone coverage alone paid for itself in week one. Northcast didn't just give us tools — they gave us a system that actually runs.

The Vision

A whole automated agentic system

This isn't a chatbot bolted onto a website. It's a network of AI agents — each with a specific job — working across three locations. One handles phone calls. Another watches for stale patients. Another manages accounts receivable. Another handles social media inquiries.

The system is still evolving. Every week we add new capabilities based on what the practice actually needs. That's the Northcast model — build what matters, measure, iterate.
