What AI tools are actually useful for dental marketing and practice management right now, and which are hype? Jeff Blumberg and Dan Brown, COO of Blumberg Digital, play a live sample call with an AI after-hours receptionist, show how AI can analyze hundreds of patient reviews in minutes, explain how to see what AI says about your practice, and warn about HIPAA risks and overblown claims that AI can handle all of your marketing.

Two crowns at full fee and three at PPO rates look almost identical on the day sheet, $2,600 versus $2,640, but once Jeff Blumberg factors in assistant time, lab costs, and patient acquisition, one set costs 36 percent of revenue and the other costs over 53 percent. He breaks down why chasing volume to offset discounted fees backfires, and the simple exercise that reveals your real overhead.
