Estimate how much revenue your dental practice loses from unanswered calls. Enter your numbers to see the potential impact and recovery opportunity.
Most dental practices don't realize how much revenue walks out the door when calls go unanswered. Industry research suggests the average practice misses 20-30% of incoming calls—and new patients who can't reach you rarely call back. They simply call the next practice on their list. This calculator helps you estimate the real financial impact of missed calls on your practice, using your own numbers. The results might surprise you: even a modest number of missed calls per week can translate to tens of thousands in lost annual revenue.
For the most accurate estimate, check your phone system's missed call log or ask your front desk to track unanswered calls for a typical week. If you're unsure about patient value, consider the revenue from a new patient's first-year treatment: initial exam, cleanings, and any recommended procedures.
The calculator multiplies your missed calls by the percentage that are likely new patients, then by your phone-to-appointment conversion rate, then by average patient value. This gives you the revenue potential of calls that went unanswered. The recovery estimate assumes you could answer 80% more of those calls with improved coverage.
