Stop losing patients to missed calls
A patient who reaches voicemail rings the next practice. This page explains what a missed call actually costs a dental practice — without the invented statistics this category is full of — and what changes when every call is answered.
A patient who reaches voicemail usually rings the next practice on the list. That is the whole mechanism, and it does not need a fabricated statistic to be persuasive. What we can say precisely is what changes: every call is answered, the caller’s details and request are captured, and nothing depends on someone finding time to work through a callback list. Plans from $129/mo. The AI Voice Receptionist is on Growth at $199/mo, plus a one-time setup fee.
Balaay is an AI voice receptionist for dental practices. It answers the practice’s phone calls, books the appointment and texts the patient a confirmation, and escalates urgent calls to staff using rules the practice defines.
What we will not tell you
- We are not going to quote you a percentage of callers who never call back. That figure circulates widely in this category with no traceable source, and we removed every unsourced statistic from this site rather than repeat them.
- We are not going to put a dollar figure on your missed calls. We do not have your numbers, and an invented one is worse than none.
What is actually true, and enough
- A patient who reaches voicemail can ring the next practice in the same minute, at no cost to them.
- A voicemail is not a booking. It is a task for someone who is already busy, and it competes with the patient standing at the desk.
- The calls most likely to go unanswered arrive when you are busiest — which are also the calls from people trying hardest to reach you.
What changes
- Every call is answered, including nights, weekends and holidays.
- The caller’s name, number and reason for calling are captured on every call.
- The appointment request is taken during the call and confirmed with the patient by text.
- Nothing depends on someone finding time to work through a callback list.
Try it rather than read about it
