Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about missed calls and their impact on your business.

A dentist office receiving 75 calls per week can expect 20 to 25 of those to come outside office hours. These include emergency toothache calls, appointment requests from people who can only call after work, and new patient inquiries from evening internet searches.
Pain is the number one driver. Toothaches, broken crowns, and lost fillings send patients to the phone at night and on weekends. The second most common reason is appointment scheduling from people whose work schedules prevent them from calling during dental office hours.
New patient acquisition is the primary growth engine for dental practices. Many new patients call after hours because they are searching for a dentist on their own time. Missing these calls means losing patients to practices that answer or have better after-hours coverage.
Yes. Patients value knowing they can reach their dentist in an emergency. Practices that offer after-hours phone coverage report higher patient satisfaction, better reviews, and stronger patient retention compared to those that rely solely on voicemail.
A dentist missing 15 after-hours calls per week, with 30% being potential new patients worth $1,100 each, loses an estimated $5,000 to $6,000 per month, or $60,000 to $72,000 per year. An AI phone agent at $49 per month eliminates this loss.
