Solo Dentists + Cliniko
The AI receptionist for solo dentists that writes straight into Cliniko.
A toothache caller who can't book is gone for ten years.
How it works
Foan plugs into Cliniko so every call becomes structured data in the system you already use. No re-typing, no copy-paste, no "I'll add it later."
Why solo dentists miss calls.
New-patient calls are decade-long relationships. Voicemail loses them on day one.
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.
What you get on day one.
-
Every call answered in two seconds. No queue, no missed-call voicemails, no "we'll get back to you tomorrow".
-
Calls flow into Cliniko automatically. No copy-paste from notepad. Whatever Cliniko expects, Foan writes.
-
UK phone number included. Take a new line or forward your existing business number. Either way, Foan picks up.
-
Text or WhatsApp the second the call ends. You're on a job, you don't pick up — Foan does the work and tells you what was said.
Ready in 10 minutes.
Plans from £999/mo. Cancel any time. Number forwarding works on the existing line you already pay for.
Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for solo dentists using Cliniko?
Yes. New-patient calls are decade-long relationships. Voicemail loses them on day one. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a solo dentist would ask, and writes the outcome into your Cliniko automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + Cliniko compare to hiring a receptionist?
A part-time receptionist costs around £1,800/mo and only covers business hours. Foan picks up 24/7 in two seconds, never misses a call during peak, and starts at £999/mo. Everything ends up in Cliniko the same way a human assistant would log it — except instantly and without typos.
What if a caller asks a question Foan doesn't know the answer to?
Foan is configured with your business hours, services, prices and FAQs the moment it's set up — we scan your website automatically. For anything genuinely unknown, the agent admits it doesn't know, takes the caller's contact details, and pings you so you can ring back. Better than voicemail, every time.
How quickly can I get this live with Cliniko?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect Cliniko via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
