Recover $150K/clinic in lost revenue — AI agents that run the dental front desk, not just answer it
Confirmed by founderTensorLinks is a team of AI agents that help run dental clinic operations — starting with the front desk. Not a voice bot: autonomous agents with deep workflows that (1) answer and book across voice, SMS, and web, (2) cut no-shows with multi-touch confirmations, (3) reactivate overdue and lapsed patients to keep them on track, and (4) analyze the schedule to keep every chair filled — across every location, orchestrated above the PMS (19+ live integrations: Open Dental, Dentrix Ascend, Denticon, Axium). The front desk is the wedge; from there we expand into the full operations layer — scheduling, insurance verification, payment collection, treatment-plan follow-up — and become the operating system for multi-location dental groups. The moat is owning the cross-channel revenue workflow, not the voice interface. Team (8): Sridhar Uyyala, Founder/CEO — ex-Intel Research, 3 US patents. Nithin Anaparthy — Growth & Engineering (AI + cloud, Azure AI). Sangeetha Boppana — Sales & Ops, dental/DSO operations insider. Vikram Kovvuri — DevOps & infrastructure. Mukesh Yarlagadda, Yaswanth Kakunuri (IIT), Madhuri Dhanunjai — applied-AI engineering. Advisor: Carla Leibovitz — ex-VP Flatiron, CBDO Paige.AI, NVIDIA, Stanford MBA. 30 months bootstrapped at ~$19K/mo burn. Compliance: HIPAA-aligned with BAAs across the vendor stack; SOC 2 Type II in progress.

Dental clinics lose $150K+/yr per location: 30-40% of calls go to voicemail, 20-40% of patients are overdue for recall, and front-desk staff burn 60% of their time on phone tag. Existing AI receptionists only answer calls — they don't run outreach, recall, or no-show recovery.
A team of AI agents that run the dental front desk today and the whole practice tomorrow — autonomous workflows, not a chatbot. They (1) capture and book across voice/SMS/web, (2) cut no-shows with multi-touch confirmations, (3) run recall + reactivation to bring overdue patients back on track, and (4) analyze the schedule to fill open chairs — with native PMS integrations (Open Dental, Dentrix Ascend, Axium, Denticon; 19+ live). Expansion: scheduling, insurance verification, payment collection, and case acceptance — the full operations stack above the PMS. We operate the front desk as a managed service on our own platform (we dogfood it across our customers' clinics daily), so the product compounds and our headcount grows sub-linearly with clinic count. The moat is owning the cross-channel revenue workflow, not the voice interface. Compliance: HIPAA-aligned with BAAs across the vendor stack (including LLM providers); SOC 2 Type II in progress — healthcare-AI table stakes built in, not bolted on.
$170K ARR ($14K MRR) across 27 active clinics in 8 customers (5 multi-location groups + 3 single-location practices); 6.2:1 LTV:CAC, ~10-month payback, 55% contribution margin. Zero churn on multi-location DSO customers (5+ clinics) since Q4 2025. First 12-month contract signed: Smile Dental Group (7 clinics, $50K contracted ARR). 70K+ appointments managed lifetime; 1,158 booked in April 2026 across 17 live clinics; $359K lifetime collected. 30 months bootstrapped at ~$19K/mo burn (10-30x leaner than funded competitors). The ask: $1M seed at $7M pre takes us from $170K to $1M ARR by ~M19 — funding a senior US sales rep + SDR against a named DSO pipeline (Healthy Dental +5, Nova 10, Avanta 5, BSD reactivation) — reaching operational breakeven (~148 clinics) on this single round.
