How many calls does a dental clinic miss per day?

The average Canadian dental clinic misses between 15% and 30% of incoming calls. For a busy clinic receiving 25 calls per day, that's 4-8 missed calls daily — or roughly 80-160 missed patient opportunities per month. During peak hours (12pm-2pm lunch breaks and after 5pm), missed call rates can climb to 40% or higher when front desk staff are occupied with in-person patients.
