Dental appointments are booked, moved and confirmed by phone, and a new patient whose call goes unanswered can simply dial the next practice on the list. Front desks also juggle insurance questions and hygiene recalls while patients are standing at the counter.

A few of the calls that come in to dental offices in Findlay, OH:

• A specialist's office calls to coordinate a referral.
• A patient with a cracked tooth calls first thing in the morning asking for a same-day visit.
• A parent calls to reschedule two children's appointments around school.

When nobody can pick up

After-hours calls are often about dental pain or a lost filling, so a voicemail that is transcribed and flagged for urgency helps staff decide who to call back first in the morning.

Callata transcribes voicemail and triages it for urgency, so the first callback in the morning can go to the caller who needs it most.
