ZinqLeads

Built for dentists

Missed calls become booked patients.

Reception is with a patient, the phone rings out, and the caller books with the practice two streets over. New-patient enquiries peak at lunchtime and after 5pm, exactly when your front desk is busiest or gone.

Missed call · 12:17

Hi Tom, sorry we missed your call. Were you ringing to book something?

Hi, I’d like to book a check-up and a hygiene clean.

Of course. We have Thursday 2:10pm or Friday 10:30am. Shall I hold one for you?

Thursday works, thanks!

Done. You’re booked for Thursday 2:10pm and a confirmation is on its way.

The lunchtime new-patient call

A patient searching "dentist near me" calls at 1:10pm. Reception is at lunch. ZinqLeads texts back within a minute, offers Tuesday 3:30pm or Thursday 10:00am, and the booking lands on your list before the kettle boils.

The unchased treatment plan

A £2,400 Invisalign treatment plan went out three weeks ago and nobody followed up. The agent re-opens the conversation by SMS, answers the patient’s hesitation, and nudges them to book the start appointment.

The after-hours emergency

A patient in severe pain texts at 9pm. The agent flags them urgent the moment the message lands, texts your nominated contact immediately, and replies with NHS-aligned guidance — red-flag symptoms are signposted to 111 or 999, never parked until morning. Your team walks in to a triaged list, not a cold voicemail.

Questions dentists ask us

What happens when a patient messages about severe pain?

The agent recognises urgency. Severe pain is flagged urgent the moment the message arrives, your nominated contact gets an immediate text and email with the patient’s words, and the patient is offered the first emergency slot. Red-flag symptoms — swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding — get fixed NHS-aligned wording signposting 999 or 111. The agent never diagnoses; it flags urgency and gets the right people moving.

Do messages send without my approval?

Only the fixed emergency safety replies, which use pre-approved wording and cannot wait. Everything else starts in review mode: the agent drafts, the reply waits in your dashboard, and nothing sends until you tap Send. Switch to auto-send whenever you trust it.

How much revenue does a missed call cost a dental practice?

A single missed new-patient call can cost £2,400 or more if it was an Invisalign or implant enquiry, because most patients book with whichever practice answers first. Across a month, unanswered calls and unchased treatment plans can add up to several thousand pounds — put your own numbers into the missed-call calculator to see what it looks like for your practice.

Does ZinqLeads work with my dental practice management software?

ZinqLeads works alongside any practice system. It forwards your existing number, handles the SMS conversation, and hands warm patients to your reception with a one-tap Book button; your team confirms the appointment in your own diary as usual.

Is patient data handled in a GDPR-compliant way?

Yes. A lawful basis for contacting each patient is attested by the practice, every outbound message carries opt-out wording, inactive records are deleted after up to 24 months unless a longer period is agreed, and right-to-erasure requests are honoured with one click. A DPA is signed before go-live.
