For UK dental practices
Your reception team can only be in one conversation at a time. Vocalenda answers the overflow and the out-of-hours calls, books patients straight into your calendar, and texts them a confirmation, from your own business number.

Booked: check-up, Mon 23 Mar, 2:30pm at Bright Dental. Need to change it? Just call this number back.
Don't take our word for it: call the demo line and book a fake appointment. The demo diary belongs to a barbershop, but the manner, the booking flow and the confirmation text are exactly what your patients would get.
Set up in minutes, not days
1
Sign in with 
Google or 
Outlook, and each practitioner connects their own calendar with one link. Vocalenda sees everyone's real availability.
2
Check-up and hygiene prices, opening hours, parking, your emergency arrangements. Ten minutes, once, and you can change it any time.
3
Forward the practice number, or hand out a new dedicated UK number. Overflow, lunchtimes and evenings get answered from that moment.
What it handles
Patients get an answer on the first ring, the diary fills itself, and anything clinical is taken as a message for the right person before the call ends. Reception keeps its attention on the patient standing in front of it.
“Can I get a check-up this week?”
Check-up · Thu 2:30pm
Booked while the desk was busy
“Got a letter saying I’m due a check-up.”
Hygienist · Tue 11:00am
Booked at 7:40pm, after close
“Is it normal to ache after a filling?”

The maths is short
A single new private patient is worth many multiples of £49, and every recall call that hits voicemail after 5pm is one at risk. Text confirmations cut did-not-attends too. If it books one patient a month you're ahead; most practices miss more calls than that in a week.
Pricing
No tiers to compare, no per-minute meter running while your caller decides between Tuesday and Thursday. £49 a month on the founding rate, locked for the first ten businesses, and you can leave whenever you like.

An honest note
We won’t invent testimonials. Instead: the first three businesses willing to share their real numbers get 60 days free in total, the usual 30-day trial doubled. And every founding business (the first ten) keeps the £49 rate for as long as they stay subscribed.

The founding ledger
Ten founding seats at £49, locked.
Two seats are taken; eight are open today. Three of the ten carry the 60-day results deal, and those numbers will be published right here, nothing invented in the meantime.
Questions
No, and it's built not to. Anything clinical becomes a polite “let me pass that to the team” and lands on your dashboard as a message with the full transcript, so the right person answers it. It sticks to appointments, prices, hours and the practical questions you set it up with.
Something else on your mind? Email hello@vocalenda.com and a person reads it.
30 days free. Set up before your next customer walks in.
