Dental Answering Service

Why do dental offices need a phone answering service?

Here at Best Reception, we understand the pressures of running a busy dental practice. That’s why we have designed a tailored solution for all your incoming calls. Here are the main benefits…

Efficient call answering

One or two receptionists can easily become overwhelmed during peak periods dealing with appointments, enquiries and emergencies. Our dental answering service ensures calls are answered promptly, reducing waiting times and delays.

Customer service

Patients appreciate professional and prompt customer service. Outsourcing phone answering allows dental offices to provide a higher level of service, free from the worry of picking up the phone. Don’t let your calls go unanswered.

Appointment management

If your dental practice is struggling to manage appointments, our team can take care of the scheduling, rescheduling and cancellations. All we require is access to your calendar to reduce the chances of double-bookings or missed appointments.

Emergency calls

Our dental answering service means immediate assistance for patients making an emergency call. Our trained receptionists can screen and prioritise calls, while liaising with the dentist, so urgent situations are handled promptly.

Focus on face-to-face service

Our dental answering service allows your office staff to focus on people visiting your practice. This means patients will receive a higher standard of care. Improve efficiency with the support of the Best Reception team.

Cost-effective solution

Hiring and training additional staff just to deal with incoming calls can be expensive and time-consuming. Outsourcing is often a more cost-effective option, while ensuring a high level of customer service.

I've used Best Reception for around 1 year now. I've found the service superb. My customers comment on how cheerful and professional the call handling is. They are always looking to help and do their job better. How proficient Best Reception is at their job has even helped me from time to time with the extra details noted on conversations by the call handlers. Excellent service and well worth it's money.

I used Best Reception for 2 years during a particularly busy period when my location-based Reception was unable to use Cliniko as I moved away from a paper-based diary. Knowing someone would answer the telephone quickly, reliably and make bookings on my diary accurately while I was busy with patients was reassuring and took a load of stress off me. Any issues that arose were minor, quickly resolved with the team managers, communication was great. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to use them again - great service & good value for money.

Efficient and friendly service. 😊 Edit - 2021 a year later -Best reception continually give an excellent service and have been so supportive during this very difficult year. Also more recently I have had 2 patients in the last week comment what a pleasant receptionist I have - and how friendly helpful and clear she is. Well done best reception staff!
Foot Factor has been working with Best Reception for many years - they are an amazing team, very professional and always ready (and able!) to adapt to regular changes we make in our diary. Our clients appreciate an easy booking service, they're surprised not to find the receptionist at the clinic when they come for their appointment. We appreciate a small, friendly, dedicated team who really know Foot Factor well. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

If you are still wondering about the benefits of our services, or have a burning question, hopefully you will find the answer below.

There are several key advantages, including enhancing the patient experience. A professional answering service ensures that calls are promptly answered by trained receptionists, improving patient satisfaction and customer service.

A dental answering service can efficiently handle appointment scheduling, reducing administrative burden and minimising the risk of missed appointments. This also allows a dental practice to concentrate on delivering quality care.

While employing a full-time receptionist can be costly, outsourcing to a telephone answering service offers comprehensive and cost-effective call management.

Finally, a dental answering service helps portray your practice as a professional and well-established business. A well-managed phone system is a sign of reliability and quality, enhancing your reputation

Almost all phone systems can be set to divert in just a few moments. We provide you with a dedicated phone number which you divert your calls to when you are in a meeting, on the other line or simply unavailable. When your caller telephones your business, the call is seamlessly diverted to your Best Reception Virtual PA who will instantly know that the call is for your company.  The receptionist will then answer in your company’s name and deal with the call as per your instructions.

When you join Best Reception we will go through all the information with you that we need to fully understand your business. All our staff will then be trained on your company before they answer any calls for you.

However you would like us to, normally along the line of “Good Morning/Afternoon, “Your Company Name”, how can I help you”…. but it is up to you.

Absolutely! We actively encourage our potential customers to try our service for FREE for 2 weeks without any obligation.
