Hey Jodie guides
Dentists guides
Practical advice for dentists on handling calls, capturing leads, and winning more work.
Dental answering services compared: the honest options table
A real side-by-side of every way to answer your practice phone - voicemail, in-house reception, a human answering service, and AI - with indicative pricing and the new-patient maths, so you choose on merit, not marketing.
What a dental front desk really costs (and what every missed call is worth)
The headline receptionist wage is the small number. Here is the true cost of a dental front desk - salary, employer NI, pension, holiday and sick cover - set against the new-patient calls that go to voicemail.
How to get more dental patients (without dropping the calls)
Where new dental patients actually come from, ranked by cost and conversion, plus the decisive last step the agencies never mention: capturing the call your marketing paid for.
