The Hidden Revenue Sitting in Your Recall List

What if one of the biggest growth opportunities in your dental practice isn't finding more new patients, but bringing back the patients you already have?

In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Aman Garg, founder of 10X Dental, to talk about the hidden revenue sitting inside overdue and unscheduled hygiene lists. While many practices invest heavily in new patient acquisition, hundreds of existing patients may quietly fall out of their recall system simply because they are busy, don't respond to automated texts, or never get consistent follow-up.

Aman explains how AI can help practices scale outbound recall without replacing the relationships patients have with the front desk, hygienists, and doctors. He shares data from 10X Dental's recall efforts, including a 16% average scheduling rate, an 85% attendance rate among scheduled patients, and an average of $450 in reactivation production per returning patient.

Dr. Len and Aman also discuss why traditional recall systems often fall short, how practices can create a consistent recall strategy, the importance of confirmation sequences, and where AI fits into the patient experience. They also explore the limits of automation and why using AI effectively should feel like helping the patient rather than simply filling holes in the schedule.
