AI reception for UK dental practices

Every patient call answered. Even the ones you're missing.

Codental answers your practice phone after hours and during busy periods, captures every patient's details, and hands them straight to your reception team — so no appointment slips away while they're looking after patients in the chair.

The cost of a ringing phone

Every unanswered call is a patient calling the next practice on the list.

Most calls a practice misses happen outside opening hours or when the front desk is already busy with patients in the chair. Those callers rarely leave a voicemail — they simply book elsewhere.

How it works

Set up in a day. Working from the first call.

Your existing number stays exactly as it is. Calls divert to Codental only when your team can't pick up.

STEP 1

Calls divert automatically

When the line is busy or it's outside opening hours, the call forwards to Codental instead of going to voicemail. Your team's own line stays exactly as it is.

STEP 2

The AI answers naturally

It greets the caller with your practice name, answers common questions, and captures their name, number, and reason for calling.

STEP 3

Your team gets the details

Every call summary lands with your reception team ready to book in, so nothing is ever lost, even from a 9pm phone call.

What it does

Support for your front desk, not a replacement for it.

Your reception team stays at the heart of the practice during the day. Codental simply catches the calls they can't get to - after hours, at lunch, or when every line is ringing at once.

Round-the-clock cover

Answers evenings, weekends, lunch breaks, and any moment the front desk is occupied — the times most new-patient calls come in.

Full call summaries

Each enquiry is captured with the caller's name, number, and what they needed, so your team can follow up quickly and accurately.

Secure & compliant

Patient information is handled securely and in line with UK GDPR requirements, with care taken at every step.

No disruption to your setup

Keep your existing phone number and provider. Codental simply catches the calls that would otherwise go unanswered.
