After-Hours Call Answering Built for General Dentistry Practices

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Equivalent human coverage for 24/7/365 would take at least two full-time hires — and with high front office turnover, adding staff is an unreliable fix.

After hours, the rate is near total — and only 14% of new patients leave a voicemail when calls go unanswered. The rest hang up and call the next practice on Google Maps. A 7pm toothache, a Saturday sports injury, a parent calling about a child's knocked-out tooth after dinner — these are the highest-intent calls your practice gets, and they ring into an empty office.
