The problem
A patient with a cracked tooth won't wait on hold while you're with another patient
Your reception desk is the bottleneck. During surgery hours, your receptionist is checking patients in, processing payments, and filing notes, all while the phone rings. Lunch breaks, staff sickness, and after-hours calls mean even more missed calls. New patients who can't get through will simply book with the practice down the road.
- 68% of patients who can't reach a dental practice on the first call will try a different practice
- The average dental practice misses 15-20 calls per week during peak surgery hours
- A full-time receptionist costs £2,000+/month, and still cannot answer when they are with a patient at the desk
- Every missed new patient registration is worth £500+ in lifetime value

How Dental Surgeries Use Jodie
Emergency Toothache
The situation: A patient calls at 7pm with a severe toothache that started after dinner. They are in pain and need to know if they can be seen first thing tomorrow.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers straight away, asks about the pain level, when it started, and whether there is any swelling. You get a text with all the details so you can slot them in as an emergency appointment first thing.
Calls During Surgery
The situation: Your dentist is mid-procedure and your receptionist is checking in the next patient. Three calls come in at once: a new patient wanting to register, a reschedule, and a question about a treatment plan.
Jodie handles it: Jodie handles all three calls simultaneously, captures each request, and sends your team a summary for each. Nothing falls through the cracks, even during your busiest clinics.
New Patient Registration
The situation: Someone has just moved to the area and calls to register as a new patient. Your receptionist is on lunch break and the phone goes unanswered.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, welcomes them to the practice, asks for their name, contact details, and whether they have any immediate dental concerns. You get the registration details ready for when your team is back at the desk.
After-Hours Emergency
The situation: A parent calls at 8pm because their child has knocked a tooth out playing football. They need to know what to do and whether you can see them urgently.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, asks about the injury, gives reassuring guidance about preserving the tooth in milk, and captures the details so you can arrange an emergency appointment as soon as the surgery opens.
