Dental Clinic Case: The $500K Opportunity Hidden in Missed Calls

A high-performing dental clinic is generating $1 million in annual revenue.The team is efficient, the patients are loyal, and the books are full.

But something’s holding them back from reaching their next milestone:$1.5 million per year.

The Bottleneck: Missed Calls = Missed Appointments

• Patients call to book, reschedule, or ask questions.

• Front desk is already busy with in-office patients, billing, insurance, and checkouts.

• 20–30% of inbound calls are missed, especially during peak hours or lunch.

• Many patients never call back — they delay care, go elsewhere, or give up.

•
