The problem

A patient with a cracked tooth won't wait on hold while your front desk is slammed

Your front desk is the bottleneck. During office hours, they are checking patients in, verifying insurance, pulling charts, and answering the phone all at once. Lunch breaks, staff callouts, and after-hours calls mean even more missed calls. New patients who can't get through will Google the next dental office and book there instead.

  • 68% of patients who can't reach a dental office on the first call will try a different office
  • The average dental office misses 15-20 calls per week during peak hours
  • A full-time front desk person costs $2,500+/month, and still cannot answer when they are with a patient
  • Every missed new patient is worth $800+ in lifetime value to your practice
