๐ฆท The $50K Problem Every Dental Practice Owner Ignores
Hey everyone! Quick question - how many calls does your dental practice miss per week? Most practice owners have no clue, but the industry average is scary: 35% of all incoming calls go unanswered. Why this happens: Staff tied up with patients After-hours calls Multiple lines ringing Human bathroom breaks (yes, really) The brutal math: Missing 30 calls/month = losing $50,000+ annually in potential revenue. Ouch. What some smart practice owners are doing: Using AI receptionists to catch the overflow while their human staff focuses on in-person patients. What it handles: โ
Books appointments instantly โ
Reschedules conflicts smoothly โ
Processes cancellations automatically โ
Routes urgent calls appropriately Results I'm seeing: 10-15% boost in new patient bookings just from being available when people actually call. Real talk question for the group: What's your biggest phone management headache? Are you tracking missed calls? What solutions have you tried?
