The average dental practice misses 42% of new patient calls.
At $800 per new patient, that is $33,600 every single month just disappearing.
Here is what most practice owners do not know: 68% of those callers never leave a voicemail. They just call the next practice on Google.
We tracked this across 50 dental practices. The pattern is always the same. The busiest times, 11am to 1pm and 5pm to 7pm, are when calls go unanswered most. That is when patients are searching on their lunch break or after work.
You do not need more staff to fix this. You need a system that catches every missed call and texts them back within 60 seconds.
