Do you take Delta Dental? And how much is a checkup?
We see lots of Delta Dental patients, and the team will confirm your exact coverage before your visit. A checkup with cleaning is $95 without insurance.
My son is 7. Do you see kids too?
We do! Kids' checkups are $65, and our hygienists are wonderful with nervous little ones.
Could we both come in on a Saturday?
Saturdays fill up fast, so I've asked the team for two back-to-back slots. They'll call you this afternoon to confirm.

Industry questions

What businesses ask before they start

Yes. On Starter and above, your agent builds phone and chat orders only from your menu, reads back every item, modifier, and the total, and confirms only after the customer agrees. Catering and large party enquiries are passed to you.
No. Dental and medical clinics, law offices, accountants, and insurance agencies use Sanma for fees, hours, documents to bring, and appointment requests. Anything that needs a professional's judgment is captured and passed to your team.
You decide what counts as urgent, such as a burst pipe, a pet that can't breathe, or a tenant locked out. The agent flags those to your phone straight away with the caller's details, and gives your published emergency instructions.
It answers availability questions from your hours and service list, and captures booking requests with the customer's name, number, service, and preferred times, so your team can confirm them quickly.
Yes. Give each location its own agent, phone number, hours, and prices, or use one agent that knows every location and sends each message to the right team.
If your customers call, chat, or text with the same questions, Sanma can answer them. Teach it your services, prices, and policies, then test it yourself before it answers a single customer.
