For solo dentists
The best AI receptionist
for solo dentists.
New-patient calls are decade-long relationships. Voicemail loses them on day one.
A Saturday morning, told straight
The new-patient call you missed wasn't a £200 filling. It was a decade.
A young couple has just moved into the area. They're looking for a family dentist, the kind they'll bring their kids to in a few years. They search "private dentist near me", and pick the practice with the best reviews and the cleanest website. That's you.
They ring on a Wednesday at 11.15. Your receptionist is helping someone fill out a medical history form. The phone rings out. The husband leaves no voicemail. He clicks the next listing. Books a check-up there for Saturday. Two adults plus eventually two children. Hygiene visits twice a year, periodic crowns, eventual implants. A lifetime relationship measured in five-figure annual revenue, gone to whoever picked up the phone at 11.15 on a Wednesday.
Foan picks up on the first ring. Asks if they're already a patient or new, what they're looking for, when works for them. Books the new-patient consultation, sends the medical history form by text before they hang up, drops the appointment into Dentally or your practice management system.
The maths private dentists tend not to do out loud: a new-patient family is worth £8k-£25k over its lifetime. Foan at £999 a month is the cost of one missed family relationship a year. Most practices we've spoken to are losing four or five.
This is exactly the cost basis for the Established tier. One booking pays for the year.
Same pattern works for invisalign consultations, implant enquiries, and the second-opinion calls that build a referral practice.
