The Dental Front Desk Bottleneck
Your front desk can't answer phones while checking in patients. A new patient calls during a busy morning. The phone rings. And rings. They hang up and call the dentist down the street. You just lost $4,500-$8,000 in lifetime value.
The numbers are stark: practices miss an average of 300 calls. With only 14% leaving voicemails and 75% never calling back, each missed call is likely a patient you'll never see.
