The problem

Why dental practices miss so many calls

Someone in pain rings three practices in five minutes and books with whoever picks up first.

When the phone rings out

  • before eight, when people ring on the way to work
  • the whole of lunch, when reception is covering surgery
  • Friday evening through Sunday, when toothache does not wait

What they are ringing about

  • toothache that started overnight
  • booking or moving a hygienist appointment
  • asking whether you are taking on new private patients

What that costs a single site

£20,400

a month, on conservative assumptions

About 34 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 11 a week, and one customer is worth £420 to a dental practice. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.

What it does

Built around how a dental practice actually works

Books check ups and hygienist slots straight into the diary

Takes new patient enquiries with the details you need to triage them

Answers the private and NHS question without putting anyone on hold

Flags genuine dental emergencies to you immediately

It tells callers what it is

It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a dental practice that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.

Questions

What dental practices ask us

Can it tell a dental emergency from a routine booking?

Yes. You set the words that count as urgent, swelling, trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, and anything matching goes to you as a call or a text within seconds rather than sitting in an inbox until morning.

Will it know our private fees?

It knows whatever you tell it. Most practices load their price list and a line on what is and is not available on the NHS, which is the question that otherwise eats reception's morning.

Does it work with our practice management software?

It books into the calendar you already use. If your system takes bookings through a shared diary, it writes to that, and if it does not, it sends the booking through as a message for reception to confirm.

Hear it answer a dental practice call

Ring the number and ask it the awkward question your customers always ask. If you like what you hear, it will book you in there and then.
