For Dental Practices

Every patient call answered. Every appointment filled.

AI that answers your phone 24/7, books appointments, handles cancellations, and gets your practice found on Google — even when your team is chair-side with a patient.

The problem

Your receptionist is on one call. Three more are ringing. Every one of them is a patient you might lose.

Dental practices run on appointments. But your front desk can only handle one call at a time — and during busy periods, the next caller gets a busy tone or voicemail. Most won’t leave a message. They’ll Google the next practice and book there instead.

It’s even worse outside office hours. A patient with toothache at 8pm on a Tuesday searches “dentist near me,” finds your number, calls — and nobody answers. By morning they’ve already booked somewhere else.

Meanwhile, your reception team spends half their day on calls that follow the same pattern every time: “I’d like to book a check-up,” “Can I get a hygienist appointment?” “I need to cancel Friday.” These are exactly the calls AI handles perfectly — freeing your team to manage the patients standing in front of them.

What CodeE Office does for dental practices

Your AI receptionist handles the routine. Your team handles the patients.

Every call answered

New patient enquiries, existing patient bookings, cancellations, NHS and private fee questions — all answered instantly by a professional AI voice. No hold music, no voicemail, no lost patients.

Appointments booked in real time

The AI checks your appointment book, finds available slots for the right dentist or hygienist, books the patient in, and sends a confirmation. Your front desk doesn’t have to touch a thing.

Found first on Google

When someone searches “dentist near me” or “private dentist [your town],” you need to be at the top. We build your citations, optimise your Google Business Profile, and create content that keeps you visible.

Recall and reminders

Automated reminders for 6-monthly check-ups, hygienist appointments, and follow-up treatments. Keeps your book full and your patients on track — without your team chasing by phone.

The numbers

What missed calls are really costing your practice.

A dental practice with 2-3 dentists and a hygienist can handle 40-60 calls per day. But your receptionist is also greeting patients, taking payments, filing paperwork, and dealing with walk-ins. During peak hours, calls stack up.

85% of callers who don’t get through won’t call back — they’ll book with the practice that answers. For a private practice, a single new patient could be worth 1,000+ over their first year (check-up, hygienist, treatment plan, cosmetic work). Lose 2-3 new patients per week and you’re leaving £4,000-12,000 per month on the table.

And it’s not just new patients. Existing patients who can’t get through to rebook will eventually drift to a practice that’s easier to reach. The cost compounds quietly, month after month.

What it handles

The calls your receptionist shouldn’t have to take.

Most calls to a dental practice follow predictable patterns. AI handles them instantly so your front desk team can focus on the patients in the room.

  • New patient bookings — answer enquiries, explain what’s available (NHS, private, or both), book their first appointment.
  • Check-ups and hygienist appointments — the bread and butter of your appointment book. AI checks availability and books the right slot.
  • Cancellations and rebookings — patient cancels Thursday? AI rebooks them for next week and opens the slot for someone else.
  • Fee and availability questions — NHS band prices, private treatment costs, opening hours, how to find you. Answered instantly, consistently, every time.
  • After-hours emergency routing — patient calls with severe pain at 9pm? AI recognises the urgency and directs them to your emergency line or the nearest out-of-hours dental service. No booking a routine slot for something that needs attention now.
  • Recall reminders — automated outreach to patients due for their 6-monthly check-up. Keeps the book full without your team chasing.

AI handles admin. Your clinicians handle clinical.

Our AI receptionist books appointments, answers fee questions, and handles cancellations. It never gives clinical advice, diagnoses conditions, or triages symptoms. Any call that involves a clinical question is immediately flagged and passed to your team with full context. Patient safety is non-negotiable.

Questions dental practices ask us

No. The AI handles purely administrative tasks — booking, cancelling, rebooking, answering fee questions, and providing practice information. It never diagnoses, advises on treatment, or triages symptoms. If a caller describes pain or an urgent issue, the AI recognises this and directs them to your emergency contact or the nearest out-of-hours dental service. Clinical decisions always stay with your team.
Yes. We configure the AI with your specific appointment types (check-up, hygienist, consultation, emergency slot), durations, which dentist or hygienist handles what, and your opening hours. It books the right length slot with the right clinician, every time.
We work alongside your existing system, not instead of it. Appointments are booked into a shared calendar your team can see in real time — your practice management software stays exactly as it is. Even without a direct integration, the AI handles the calls and fills your diary. Your reception team updates the practice system as they normally would.
Yes. We configure the AI with your NHS band prices, private fee list, which treatments are available on NHS vs private, and whether you’re currently accepting new NHS patients. It answers fee questions accurately and consistently — the same answer every time, no guesswork.
Your receptionist can only take one call at a time. During busy periods, the rest go to voicemail — and 85% of those callers won’t ring back. AI doesn’t replace your receptionist. It handles the overflow, the after-hours calls, and the routine bookings — so your front desk can focus on the patients who’ve actually walked through the door.
No. Monthly rolling, cancel anytime. We keep you because the service pays for itself — not because of a contract. Most practices see the value within the first week.
