AI receptionist for dental practices

Busy reception should not cost you new patients.

Clinqly handles routine patient questions, books against your real diary, follows up and brings clinical or uncertain matters to reception.

Free for 14 days. No card needed to start.

One patient enquiry. The right appointment. A clear handover.

Answered from what you publish, booked into a real time.

  1. The patient asks

    “Hi, do you take new patients? What does a check-up cost?”

    WhatsApp 21:14
  2. Clinqly answers from your published fees

    We do. A new patient check-up is £65 and takes about 30 minutes. Is this routine, or is something bothering you?

  3. The right appointment, a real slot

The appointment is the start, not the finish.

Most of the money is decided after the consultation.

  2. ConsultationBooked, then revalidated
  3. AttendedThe opportunity opens

  5. ConsideringSurfaces with a reason, and follows up if allowed

Where it stops

Clinical judgement stays with your clinicians.

Routine reception work. Clinical judgement stays yours.

Patients get answers. The diary fills correctly. Reception stays in control.

The routine stops interrupting your team.

  • An answer at nine at nightFee and availability questions stop repeating
  • A check-up time that really existsThe diary fills with the right appointment types
  • A dentist who already knowsClinical questions arrive already flagged
  • Answers come from your published fees
  • Draft, validate, then activate
  • Clinical questions go to reception

Two practices, one owner.

Owners should not open separate systems to understand each practice.

Owners open either practice from one account

Each practice keeps its own diary and team. Owners retain visibility across the group.

Start yourself, or set it up with us.

Both options follow the same three setup stages

  1. 1Tell us about youYour practice · Appointment types · Dentists · How enquiries should flow
  2. 2Train and testApproved information · Add Clinqly to your website · Send a test enquiry
  3. 3Go liveConnect WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook · Invite reception · Add your fee list when you have it
Does it answer the practice phone?

Only with the Voice add-on. Website, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook are on every plan. Without the add-on it does not take calls.

Does it book into our real diary?

Yes. Only times that exist against the dentist and appointment type you configure, revalidated before confirming.

What happens with clinical questions?

They go to the practice. Clinqly does not diagnose or advise on treatment.

Does this replace reception?

No. It handles repetitive online enquiries from the information you provide, so your team can deal with the patients in front of them.
