AI receptionist for dentists: Janine answers, books and texts, 24 hours a day
Ring Janine is an AI receptionist built for UK dentists. She answers your business phone in two rings, every hour of the day, asks the safety question first when it is urgent, takes the caller’s details, books into the slots you have made available, and texts both the caller and you. £79 a month including 300 minutes. You keep your number. Below is a real transcript of Janine taking a dentist call.
Say “dentist” when she asks which business to be
What Janine does for a dental practice
- Pain / emergency. "on a scale of one to ten how bad is it, and is there any swelling in your face or neck?" Swelling spreading to the eye or throat, or trouble swallowing or breathing → "that needs A&E or 999 now" and end.
- Book. check-up, hygienist, new patient exam, treatment follow-up.
- Nhs or private. answer only your price list (whether taking NHS patients, band prices, private exam fee).
Safety first
Before anything else on an urgent call, Janine says the safety line for your trade:
- “that needs A&E or 999 now”
What she never does
- Never quote a treatment cost beyond the listed exam and hygienist prices.
- Never give dental advice, never say what's causing the pain, never suggest painkillers or doses.

Questions dentists ask before signing up
How much does an AI receptionist cost for dentists?
£79 a month including 300 call minutes, then 15p a minute. Setup is £149, waived for the first five founder customers. There is no contract and no per-seat pricing; one price covers every call to your number.
Do dentists have to change their phone number to use Ring Janine?
No. You keep your number and divert it to Janine only when you don't answer, using one dial code that works on every UK network. Callers ring the number on your van, your website and Google, and Janine picks up on ring five if you can't.
What does Janine actually say when someone rings a dental practice?
She answers as your business by name, finds out what the caller needs, asks the safety question first if it is urgent, takes the name and booking details, offers a slot from your real availability, reads the details back and texts the confirmation. The transcript on this page is a genuine call.
Does Janine quote prices for dentists?
Only the prices you give her. She never invents a figure: if something is not on your price list she says the office will confirm and takes a message. Call-out and fixed prices are quoted with what they cover, so a caller never hears a number on its own.
