What the phone looks like for a Edinburgh dental practice
Edinburgh and the wider the Lothians has a population of around 900,000, built on finance, tourism and a large stock of period property. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a dental practice working across Leith, Morningside and Stockbridge most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Someone in pain rings three practices in five minutes and books with whoever picks up first.
Callwise answers on your own 0131 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.
When Edinburgh calls go unanswered
- before eight, when people ring on the way to work
- the whole of lunch, when reception is covering surgery
- Friday evening through Sunday, when toothache does not wait
What Edinburgh callers want

Edinburgh dental practices ask us
Do we keep our 0131 number?
Yes. Your existing 0131 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Edinburgh customers reach you changes.
Do you work with dental practices outside Edinburgh?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Edinburgh and everywhere across the Lothians is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Can it tell a dental emergency from a routine booking?
Yes. You set the words that count as urgent, swelling, trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, and anything matching goes to you as a call or a text within seconds rather than sitting in an inbox until morning.
Will it know our private fees?
It knows whatever you tell it. Most practices load their price list and a line on what is and is not available on the NHS, which is the question that otherwise eats reception's morning.
Does it work with our practice management software?
It books into the calendar you already use. If your system takes bookings through a shared diary, it writes to that, and if it does not, it sends the booking through as a message for reception to confirm.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Edinburgh customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
