In this episode, Gary Bird breaks down the future of AI in dental marketing and why most dental practices are focused on the wrong part of the funnel. You’ll learn how bottom-of-funnel AI, including AI phone answering, patient follow-up automation, and scheduling systems, is transforming dental practice growth in 2026. This conversation covers why top-of-funnel dental marketing automation is still broken, how AI integrates with dental PMS systems, and how practices can increase new patient conversions, reduce no-shows, and fill schedules automatically. If you want to improve dental patient acquisition, maximize unscheduled treatment, and grow collections without adding staff, this episode shows what’s coming next. This is a must-watch for dentists looking to scale with smarter systems, better workflows, and AI-powered dental growth strategies.
