Odette for dental practices

Dental practice answering service

When a new patient rings and nobody picks up, they ring the next practice on the list. Your reception team is chairside, on another call, or gone home; Odette answers every call, captures callback requests and flags real emergencies. You know what one new private patient is worth to you — that is the arithmetic.

Why dental practices choose Odette

The 8am rush, handled

Monday morning brings simultaneous calls. Odette answers all of them at once — no engaged tone, no queue.

Emergencies triaged

Severe pain, swelling, a knocked-out tooth — Odette recognises urgency, follows your emergency instructions, and can transfer to your on-call number.

After-hours appointment requests

Patients ring after work. Odette captures who they are and what they need, so your team confirms bookings first thing.

How Odette answers for dental practices

Caller: “I’ve got really bad toothache — can I get an emergency appointment?”
Odette: “I’m sorry — let’s get you seen. Can I take your name and number? I’ll flag this as urgent for the team. Is the pain severe — and is there any swelling?”

Every message lands in your dashboard and inbox with name, number, reason and urgency.

Live call transfer to your team is included on the Pro and Business plans. On Solo, urgent calls are captured as priority-flagged messages instead — see pricing.

Questions

Can an answering service book dental appointments?

Odette captures appointment requests with the patient’s details and preferred times, delivered instantly to reception to confirm in your practice system. Direct diary booking is on our roadmap.

How does it handle dental emergencies?

You define the rule — it can transfer urgent calls straight to your on-call number, or take a priority-flagged message with the symptoms noted.

Does it work with our existing practice number?

Yes — keep your number and divert it (always, on-busy, or after-hours) to Odette. Nothing changes for patients.
