Thanks for calling Desert Dental, this is Ava. How can I help you tonight?

Caller

Hi, I chipped a tooth and you're closed. Is there any way to get in tomorrow?

Kentra

I'm sorry, that sounds painful. Let me request the first opening. Can I get your name and the best number for the office to confirm?

Caller

Marcus Reed. This number is fine.

What it does

The receptionist, and the system behind it.

Most call-answering tools stop at the phone. Kentra is the front desk and the record: who called, what they needed, what happened next, and who is following up.

Phone

Answers like a trained employee

Knows your services, hours, pricing and policies. Says your business's name the way you say it. Never puts anyone on hold.

CRM

Every caller becomes a record

Name, number, reason for calling, priority, the recording and a summary, with a status, an owner and a follow-up date your team can work.

Text

Alerts the second it matters

A new lead, an emergency, an appointment request: a text lands on your phone while the caller is still on the line. Carrier-registered, compliant U.S. messaging.

Calendar

Requests the appointment

Callers ask for a time on the call; your office confirms it from the dashboard in one click. Reminders and calendar sync are next.

Transfer

Hands off the ones that need you

You set the rules. A large account or a real emergency rings through to a person; everything else is handled without interrupting you.

Dashboard

Works on your phone

Calls, transcripts, leads and appointments in a clean dashboard with logins for your staff. Nothing to install.

How it starts

Live in days, not months.

We build and train your receptionist with you, then you keep the software. Most businesses are taking real calls by the end of the first week.

Day 1

Tell us about the business

Your website and a 30-minute call. We pull out services, hours, prices, FAQs and the rules for who gets transferred and who gets a text.

Days 2–3

Hear it, then fix it

You call a private number and talk to your receptionist. We tune the voice, the greeting, the questions and the pronunciation until it sounds like your office.

Day 4

Forward your calls

Keep your number. Forward every call, or only the ones you miss, and Kentra takes it from there. Your team logs into the dashboard the same day.

Pricing

Three packages. One bill.

Every package includes the receptionist, the CRM and the dashboard, with a block of call minutes each month. The setup fee covers building and training your agent with you, so there is nothing for you to configure.

Running low on minutes?

We text you at 80% of your minutes. Add a bundle from your dashboard to keep going, or wait for your new month. There are no overage charges, ever: if you reach 100% without a bundle, the receptionist pauses until your next month starts. Your dashboard and CRM stay open.

Month to month after the first term. Bundle minutes are used before your next month's allowance. Texts are included in every package.

Add-on · Website

A better website, previewed before you pay.

Not part of any package. Send us the website you have today and we build a preview of a better one, free. If you like it, you pay one flat fee on the spot and we finish the rest: every page, the forms, the booking, the hosting.

Step 1 · free

Send us your site, or answer five questions

Have a website? Just the address: we read what you already say and keep the services, photos and reviews worth keeping. Don't have one? Tell us what you do, where, your hours, what makes you different and the look you like, and we start from scratch.

Step 2 · free

See the preview

A real, working preview of your new home page: mobile-ready, fast, written for the customers you actually want, with a booking form wired to your Kentra CRM.

Step 3 · one flat fee

Say yes, we build it out

Pay once and we finish every page, connect your forms and phone, set up hosting and the basics of local search. No monthly design fees.

One flat fee, quoted with your preview: rebuilding an existing site is $1,000; a brand-new site is $2,000. Hosting is included for as long as you are a Kentra customer. Like the preview? Pay on the spot and we build out the whole site. Ask for a preview with your demo request.

Book a demo

Hear it answer for your business.

Tell us a little about the business and we'll set up a live demo of your own receptionist, usually within one business day. You call it, you judge it.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You keep your number and forward calls to Kentra, either all of them or only the ones you can't pick up.

What happens with an emergency or a big customer?

You decide the rules. Kentra can transfer the call to you live, text you immediately, or both.

Where does my data live?

On infrastructure we run in the United States and back up nightly. Each business's data is isolated; nobody else can see your calls or customers.

Is the texting compliant?

Yes. Alerts go through carrier-registered messaging, consent is recorded, and every contact can reply STOP at any time.

What does it sound like?

A calm, warm receptionist that says your business's name correctly and answers in under a second. You pick the voice during setup.
