What LIZ is
Dental Missed-Call Recovery Behind Your Existing Front Desk
LIZ is a dental missed-call recovery system. It works after an office misses an inbound call by following up with the caller, capturing patient intent, preparing a staff-ready handoff and supporting downstream outcome tracking.
LIZ is not designed to replace the front desk or function as a generic AI receptionist.

Evidence standards
The best comparison is honest about the job being purchased: live answering before the miss, or measurable recovery after the miss.
Dental pilot results
3 Offices, About 120 Days, 83 Conservative Recovered Opportunities
At two offices where downstream outcomes were verified, 68 recovered patients were confirmed as having come in, with $106,791.83 in associated production.
Results reflect the observed pilot and do not guarantee future performance. Associated production should not be interpreted as incremental revenue attributable solely to LIZ.
