Front-Desk Workflow Support for Ontario Dental Clinics

Turn missed calls into booked patients, without adding front-desk staff.

Zamya answers the calls your clinic cannot get to, captures what each patient needs, and gives your team a clear morning action plan for callbacks, bookings, cancellations, and follow-ups.

A familiar situation

A typical Monday morning.

  • 8 voicemails waiting from the weekend — names, numbers, and reasons mixed together
  • 2 cancellations from Friday afternoon that nobody had time to fill
  • 3 new patient inquiries from Saturday evening, still uncontacted
  • Your front desk is already checking in the first patients of the day
  • The phone is ringing before the computer is logged in

This is where patient opportunities start slipping through — not because of a lack of effort, but because there is simply not enough time in the first hour of the day.

With Zamya
Your team opens a single morning report instead.
  • Every after-hours call captured and summarized
  • Cancellations flagged with context, ready to action
  • New patient requests organized and prioritized
  • Suggested follow-up actions for each patient
  • Delivered to your inbox before the clinic opens
Where your team feels it

Your front desk is doing more than answering phones.

Calls do not pause for staffing constraints, lunch breaks, or busy mornings. Most clinics absorb the gap as a normal part of the day, even when it costs them patient opportunities.

  1. 01

    Phones ring during chair time

    Calls come in while staff are helping patients in the operatory. Someone has to decide who waits — the person at the front, or the person on the line.

  2. 02

    Voicemail accumulates after lunch and after hours

    The queue builds faster than your team can clear it. By the time anyone calls back, the patient has often already moved on.

  3. 03

    Cancellation gaps are difficult to fill quickly

    When a slot opens up, the window to fill it is short. Without a fast follow-up process, chair time can go to waste.

  4. 04

    New patient inquiries sit too long before a callback

    Many new patients reach out to more than one clinic. The practice that responds first tends to book the appointment.

By the numbers

The cost of missed calls is often underestimated.

A missed call is often a missed patient opportunity — and most patients do not call back a second time.

35%

of dental calls go unanswered

27%

of calls come after hours

1/7

patients leave a voicemail when they cannot reach your team

2/3

missed callers contact another clinic instead

Industry benchmarks for North American dental and healthcare front-desk operations. Actual call patterns vary by clinic, location, and patient mix.

The workflow

How Zamya supports your front desk, step by step.

01

Patient calls after hours or during a busy moment

Forwarded calls reach Zamya when your team cannot pick up — evenings, weekends, lunch, or during a busy stretch at the front desk.

02

Zamya answers and captures the request

A natural conversation collects the patient's name, reason for calling, follow-up preference, and contact details.

03

Your team receives a prioritized morning plan

One clear report. Calls categorized by type — new patient, cancellation, callback, inquiry — with time-sensitive requests first and a suggested action for each.

04

Staff follow up and protect the schedule

Your front desk works through the list, books patients, and fills cancellation gaps — without digging through voicemail or piecing together notes.

What your team receives each morning

A clear morning report. Not a stack of voicemails.

Every morning your front desk opens a single summary: who called, why they called, how soon to follow up, and what to do next. Below is a representative sample built from the kind of overnight activity a typical Ontario clinic sees.

Why clinics choose us

More than an answering service.

Traditional answering service
Takes a message. Hands you a list.
  • Records a message and forwards it on
  • Uses generic, non-dental scripts
  • No dental front-desk context
  • Leaves follow-up prioritization to your staff
  • No support for cancellations or scheduling workflows
Zamya
Captures intent. Organizes the morning.
  • Captures patient intent and follow-up priority, not just a name
  • Built around Ontario dental front-desk workflows
  • Categorizes calls: priority callback, new patient, cancellation, inquiry
  • Delivers a prioritized morning action plan
  • Helps protect the schedule and recover missed patient opportunities
Built with operational experience

Designed alongside 30 years of healthcare operations experience.

Zamya was built by a team with deep roots in clinical operations and healthcare management. The workflows, the language, and the morning report format were shaped by people who understand what a dental front desk actually looks like at 8:00 AM on a Monday.

Healthcare operations expertise
30 years of frontline clinical and administrative experience informing every workflow decision.
Ontario-specific design
Built for Ontario dental clinics — PHIPA-conscious workflows, contact and scheduling data only, local context.
Implementation focus
We handle setup, configuration, and ongoing support. Your team does not manage software — they work the morning report.
An illustrative example

Recovering a handful of patient opportunities each month can create meaningful ROI.

Recovering even 1–2 new patients each month covers Zamya's monthly fee several times over. The math below shows how.

Recovered patient opportunities per month 3–4
Conversion to booked patient 40–50%
Net new patients acquired per month 1.5–2
Estimated first-year value per new patient (CAD, Ontario) ~$1,000
First-year revenue acquired per month $1,500–$2,000 CAD
Zamya monthly fee $600–$900 CAD
Potential return on investment 2–3x

Illustrative example only. Actual recovery and conversion depend on your clinic's call volume, patient mix, and how your team works the morning report. Not a guarantee of results. Conversion ranges reflect industry estimates for callback-based patient recovery; Zamya has not yet collected client-specific outcomes data.

Privacy Policy

Effective May 20, 2026

About this policy

Zamya is a front-desk workflow support service for Ontario dental clinics, operated by Zack Mattin (sole proprietor) in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada. This policy explains what personal information Zamya collects, how it is used, who it is shared with, and how you can ask us to access or delete it. It is written to align with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Ontario privacy law.

If something in this policy is unclear, or you have a question about your information, contact us at zack@zamya.ca.

Information we collect

We collect personal information from three sources:

  • Consultation bookings. When you book a fit call through our Calendly link, we receive your name, email address, the contact details you provide, and any answers to the booking form's questions.
  • Demo line calls. When you call our public demonstration phone line (+1 647 956-6148), we receive a voice recording of your call, an automated transcript, the caller phone number, and any information you provide during the conversation. The agent that answers is a demonstration and is not a real clinic.
  • Website use. When you visit zamya.ca, our hosting provider logs your IP address and browser metadata. If we have analytics installed, the analytics tool may record anonymized page views and referral information.

We do not collect, request, or store clinical health information through Zamya. Specifically, our voice agent is instructed not to capture health card numbers (OHIP or otherwise), insurance policy numbers, social insurance numbers, full dates of birth, medication lists, or clinical history.

How we use this information

  • To respond to consultation requests and schedule fit calls.
  • To operate and improve the demonstration voice agent.
  • To measure how the site performs and what people find useful.
  • To comply with legal and tax obligations applicable to Zamya as a business.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for advertising or marketing to third parties.

Service providers we share with

Zamya uses a small number of third-party technology providers ("sub-processors") to deliver the service. Each provider is bound by its own privacy and security commitments under contract, and only receives the information necessary for its role:

  • Vapi — voice orchestration for the demo line and any future client calls. Hosted in the United States.
  • Anthropic — the large language model that powers the voice agent's conversation logic (Claude). Hosted in the United States.
  • Deepgram — speech-to-text transcription, used through Vapi. Hosted in the United States.
  • ElevenLabs — text-to-speech for the agent's voice, used through Vapi. Hosted in the United States.
  • Railway — webhook receiver and application hosting. Hosted in the United States.
  • Google Workspace — email, document storage, and the morning report sheet. Hosted in the United States.
  • Calendly — fit-call scheduling and booking form. Hosted in the United States.

Because these providers are located in the United States, personal information is processed outside Canada and may be subject to lawful access requests by foreign governments and authorities under the laws of the country in which it is stored. By using the site, the demo line, or booking a consultation, you consent to this cross-border processing.

How long we keep your information

  • Calendly bookings: retained for the life of the customer relationship and up to 24 months after the last interaction, then deleted on request or as part of routine cleanup.
  • Demo line recordings and transcripts: retained for up to 90 days for service quality and improvement, then deleted.
  • Website logs and analytics: retained for up to 12 months in anonymized form.
  • Business records (invoices, contracts, correspondence with paid clients): retained for at least 7 years to meet Canadian tax and recordkeeping requirements.

Your rights

Under PIPEDA you have the right to:

  • Ask what personal information we hold about you.
  • Request a copy of that information.
  • Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Ask us to delete information we no longer need to retain.
  • Withdraw your consent for future use of your information at any time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions.

To exercise any of these rights, email zack@zamya.ca with the subject line "Privacy Request." We respond to verified requests within 30 days.

If you believe we have not handled your information properly, you may also file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca.

Security

We rely on the security controls of our sub-processors and apply reasonable safeguards to the information we hold directly, including access controls and encryption in transit. No system is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee that personal information will never be accessed by an unauthorized party. If a security incident affects information we hold about you, we will notify you as required by law.

Children

Zamya is a business-to-business service for dental clinics. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that a child has provided information to Zamya, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service evolves or as legal requirements change. When we make a material change, we will update the effective date at the top of this section. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
