AI RECEPTIONIST FOR DENTAL PRACTICES

The Phone Rang 40 Times Today. Your Receptionist Answered 25.

Dental reception desks are chaos. Check-ins, payments, nervous patients, treatment plan questions — and a phone that won’t stop ringing. Your AI receptionist handles the overflow, booking appointments and screening emergencies so your front desk can focus on the people actually in the practice. From £97/month.

You’re Not Losing Patients Because of Your Dentistry. You’re Losing Them Because Nobody Answered the Phone.

Most dental practices lose 30-40% of inbound calls during busy periods. The receptionist is checking someone in, processing a payment, or explaining a treatment plan — and the phone rings out.

That missed call might be a new patient enquiry worth years of check-ups, hygiene appointments, and cosmetic work. Or it might be an emergency — a cracked tooth, severe pain, an avulsed tooth that needs immediate attention.

Either way, they’re calling another practice. And they’re probably not calling you back.

Before vs After

Without AI Receptionist

New patient calls to register and book a check-up. Hold music for two minutes, then voicemail. They Google another practice. Result: Lost a patient worth years of recurring appointments.

With AI Receptionist

New patient calls. AI answers immediately. Captures whether they’re NHS or private, any specific concerns, preferred appointment day, and contact details. Books a new patient appointment for next Tuesday. Result: New patient registered and booked. Reception sees the details when they’re ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it handle NHS vs private patient screening?+
Yes. It asks whether they’re looking for NHS or private treatment and screens accordingly. If you’re not accepting NHS patients currently, it can let them know politely.
What about nervous patients calling to enquire?+
The AI is patient and reassuring. It doesn’t rush the conversation. For callers who mention dental anxiety, it can highlight any nervous patient services you offer.
We have multiple practitioners — can it book into specific diaries?+
Yes. Hygiene appointments go to the hygienist’s diary. Emergency slots go to the duty dentist. New patient check-ups go wherever you want them.
How much does it cost?+
