How we calculated these numbers, and how to use them.
The missed-call and revenue figures on this page are planning benchmarks, not a forecast for any single practice. The "35% of calls go unanswered" and "75% of voicemail callers never call back" figures are widely cited dental front-desk benchmarks. Per-call revenue ranges are built from published dental practice-management benchmarking (for example, Dental Intelligence and practice CPA group averages) and typical first-year or per-case production for London dental practices in Canada.
Treat every number here as a starting estimate. Before using any figure as a forecast, validate it against the practice's own call logs, case values, and conversion rates. Local market size, fee guide, and insurance mix all move the result.
Scope: this page covers the operational and revenue side of patient call handling for London dental practices. It is not clinical, diagnostic, or treatment advice. Diagnosis, treatment planning, sedation, and all clinical decisions stay with the practice's licensed team.
