Imagine this: It’s 5:32 PM. Your clinic just closed. A potential new patient calls to book an appointment—only to reach voicemail. They don’t leave a message.
By tomorrow, they’ve already called another dentist.
That’s revenue lost. Trust lost. And a patient you’ll never meet.
📉 The Hidden Cost of Missed Calls
Missed calls are more than just minor hiccups—they represent major leaks in your practice’s revenue pipeline.
📊 On average, 35% of missed calls to dental offices happen during lunch breaks or after hours. And over 80% of patients won’t leave a voicemail.
Even if just one missed call a day results in a lost patient, your practice could be losing over $100,000 in annual lifetime revenue.
