AI Receptionist for Dental Clinics
Your phone rings during a filling. Who picks up?
Never miss a new patient enquiry again.
The cost of a missed call
One missed new patient = £3,000 lifetime value lost.
Ava answers every call, 24/7, in your brand voice — so that number stays in your business, not your competitor’s.
Quick answer
What is a dental answering service?
A dental answering service is a dedicated call-handling service for dental practices — staffed by a human team or, in Ava’s case, an AI receptionist — that answers patient calls 24/7, books appointments, triages dental emergencies, and routes NHS and private enquiries to the correct booking flow, so no call reaches voicemail.
Emergency triage, day and night.
When a patient calls with tooth pain or a dental trauma out of hours, Ava triages urgency, captures contact details, and alerts the practice immediately. Emergencies never reach voicemail.
NHS and private booking flows, separated.
Ava confirms whether a caller is seeking NHS or private treatment, routes each to the correct availability window, and books directly into your practice management system — no mix-ups, no callbacks needed.
New-patient capture, including after 5pm.
Around 40% of dental calls arrive outside opening hours (UK dental industry estimate). Ava answers every one, registers new patients, and books their consultation — so you capture that revenue instead of losing it to a competitor who picked up.
Recall and reactivation, automatically.
Ava follows up on patients who missed appointments or haven't booked a check-up in over a year — re-engaging them with a warm, on-brand call, not a generic text, before they drift to another practice.
Ava is an AI receptionist. Calls may be recorded for quality and training.
