Dental phone calls
What to know about dental phone calls with an interpreter
When phone is used
Dental offices use the phone for calls that need no picture, such as booking a visit, going over an estimate or checking on a patient after a procedure. Such calls happen around the treatment, not in the chair, so the interpreter can dial in from anywhere in the US. A dentist who wants to see the area that hurts books a video call instead.
Who is on the line
A staff member from the front desk or the dental team calls about a visit, an estimate or healing, and talks with the patient, who answers and asks questions. A parent may listen in on a child's call. The interpreter interprets for each person on the line in turn, whether the topic is a visit, a figure or a symptom.
On the line5
- Front deskCalls about visits and estimates
- Dentist or assistantAsks how the patient is healing
- PatientAnswers and asks questions
- ParentListens in on a child's call
- InterpreterInterprets for each person on the line
OfficeInterpreterPatient
The interpreter's role
Without a picture, the interpreter waits until the speaker finishes a part, then interprets it. Prices, insurance terms and appointment times are interpreted exactly as said, and the patient's reply is interpreted back in full. The interpreter gives no advice or opinion about treatment or insurance, and keeps the call confidential.
On an estimate call
Office speaksPauseInterpretedPatient repliesInterpreted
Estimates and insurance terms
Figures and insurance terms need to be exact, so send the written estimate to the patient before the call if you can. Both sides then follow the same numbers. Add the treatment names and the plan details to the booking notes, so the interpreter can prepare. On an estimate call each figure is said twice, so allow time for the patient's questions.
On-site, video or phone
Choosing between phone, video and on-site for dental visits
Phone suits conversations around the visit, not the treatment itself. Choose another setting when the patient has to be seen.
On-site
Book an interpreter in the office for the visit itself, and use the phone for the calls around it.
On-Site Interpretation for Dentists
Video (VRI)
Video suits a consultation where the dentist wants to show the plan or see the patient.
Video-Remote Interpretation for DentistsPhone (OPI)
Phone suits calls about appointments, estimates, insurance and healing after a procedure.

Questions about phone interpreters for dental offices
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Does a patient need a smartphone?
No. Any phone works, including a landline, because the patient only dials a number and enters the access code.
02Can a parent join the call for a child?
Yes. Pass the dial-in details to the parent, or the interpreter can add the parent once the office and the patient are on the line.
03Can the call turn into a video call?
Yes. If the dentist needs to see the patient, we can change the booking to video, subject to the interpreter's availability.
04Is the call private?
Calls are not recorded unless you ask. The interpreter works under an NDA, and a BAA is available for healthcare customers.
05How is a dental phone call priced?
The price follows the time you book, shown as a total before you pay. A short appointment call needs little time, but an estimate call with questions needs more.
06Which languages can a dental office book by phone?
70 languages. Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean and Arabic are the easiest to schedule by phone, and rare languages need more notice.
07Are your Tagalog interpreters certified?
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Tagalog interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
