The call after closing
The practice closed at six. Whoever answers that call first gets the emergency visit, and probably the patient for years after.
Smartox picks up your business line day and night, talks with callers the way your front desk would, and sends your team a short summary of each call. When a caller wants to book, buy, get a quote or complain, it becomes a lead with their details already filled in.
People who phone usually want something now. If the line rings out or goes to voicemail, the next business in their search results is one tap away.

Your receptionist is checking someone in. The phone rings, then rings again. The caller asking about a $5,000 treatment hangs up.
"Hi, it's about my appointment, call me back." No name, no number spoken clearly, no idea which appointment.
This is the kind of call Smartox handles for Northside Dental Studio, a sample practice we use in demos. Press play to follow it through.
Dana Price cracked a crown at dinner and is in pain when biting. Wants a callback between 8 and 9 am.
Smartox never tells a caller their visit is booked. It takes the details, says the team will confirm, and your staff make the booking.
Each call arrives with a one-line summary and a label: booking, quote, callback, complaint or just a question. The full transcript and the recording sit underneath for when you need them.
A new patient asking for Tuesday mornings. A price question about Invisalign. A billing complaint that needs the office manager. Each becomes a lead with the caller's name, number and request, and your team gets an email the moment it arrives.
Pick a receptionist voice, write the greeting, and choose what she asks every caller for: date of birth, insurance provider, the best time to call back. Set the number she passes calls to when a caller needs a person.
Then type to her as a caller and see how she answers, before a single customer hears her.
Smartox reads your website when you sign up, so it already knows your services, opening hours and the insurers you accept. When something changes, type it in plain words and confirm. It also re-reads your site on a schedule.
Give Smartox your website. It pulls out your name, hours, services and booking details, and asks only about what it couldn't find.
Listen to the voices, pick one that suits your business, and set the greeting.

Multi-site groups and firms can run Smartox the way they run the rest of the business, with roles, sign-off and a single invoice.
It takes every detail your team needs to book: name, number, what they want and when suits them. Your staff confirm the booking. Smartox tells callers this, so nobody turns up to a slot that doesn't exist.
You set a transfer number, and Smartox passes the call to it when the caller needs someone on your team.
Yes. If a caller starts talking, Smartox stops and listens, the way a person would.
What's on your website, plus anything you tell it: hours, holiday closures, branches, prices, parking.
The setup is four steps. Most of the time goes into reading what it found on your website and choosing a voice.
Yes. There's a free trial that doesn't ask for a card. For multi-location groups we set up a pilot with you instead.
Send us your website. We'll set up a receptionist with what's on it and try her out with you during the demo, with the people who built Smartox on the call.
