Phone cover for Singapore dental reception teams

Your front desk works 44 hours a week. Your patients call across all 168.

Connectify's AI phone assistant answers routine calls at lunch, after hours, and while your team is with a patient. It books appointments into your clinic calendar. Anything it can't handle goes to your team.

On your existing number. Set up with your front desk before anything switches on.

We'll look at when your phones go unanswered, and whether we can help.

The problem

44 hours staffed. Calls across all 168.

Front desk staffed · 44 hNobody at the desk · 124 h
Illustrative week: open 9 to 6 on weekdays with a lunch hour, and Saturday 9 to 1.

It isn't only after six.

Your receptionist is at the desk on Monday morning. Two lines ring at once. She is checking a patient in. One of those callers waits, and one of them hangs up and calls the clinic down the road.

One counter. Five jobs.

  • Check-inCan wait a moment
  • PaymentCan wait a moment
  • ClaimsCHAS and MediSave
  • WhatsApp messagesPile up all day
  • The phoneCan't wait. The caller hangs up.

Most of them can wait a moment. The phone can't — the caller hangs up.

That's too many jobs for one counter, not a performance problem.

More claims work is coming to CHAS clinics. Since 1 September 2026, claims above the fee benchmark need a written clinical justification. By 31 December, clinics must be Flexi-MediSave-accredited to stay in CHAS. Source: MOH — Enhanced financing support for CHAS dental procedures

Ask your front desk.

You won't see the missed calls. Your front desk will. Ask them three things:

  1. 1How many callbacks are waiting on your list right now?The callback list
  2. 2How many patients this week told you they couldn't get through?The patients who gave up
  3. 3When did you last get a full lunch break?Your lunch break

Their answers will tell you more than any estimate. It doesn't involve us at all.

Want a rough estimate as well?

Three numbers. No email. A model, not a measurement.

The usual fixes

Why the usual fixes don't cover it.

  • Hire a part-timer

    The hours you need are about 26 a week, in scattered pieces. At Singapore's S$10.50 part-time floor, that shift costs near S$1,376 a month with CPF. At the floor, nobody takes it.

    Sources: MOM — Local Qualifying Salary · CPF — contribution rates

  • Add a second receptionist

    It would fix the Monday overlap. It costs a full salary to cover a few minutes a day.

  • Rely on voicemail

    A voicemail only helps if the caller leaves one. A patient hunting for a dentist rarely does — they ring the next clinic.

  • Call everyone back

    Your team rings back between patients, when they can.

If one of these already works for you, keep it. You don't need us.

What it covers

Phone cover for the hours your desk can't reach.

Connectify's AI phone assistant answers when nobody can get to the phone. Your team stays in charge.

We take two jobs off the counter.

  • The phoneWhen your team can't reach it
  • Appointment messages on WhatsAppBookings, changes and reminder replies

Two channels, one brain

One assistant answers both, from what you've written down, and books into the same clinic calendar.

Check-in, payment and claims stay with your team.

Show this to your front desk — they get their own page
  • Lunch hour

    It answers routine questions from your written FAQ and books the appointment into your clinic calendar.

    Your team sees it in the calendar.

  • Evenings and weekends

    It answers and takes the caller's details.

    Your team follows up in the morning.

  • Busy moments

    It picks up the second line.

    Your team stays with the patient in front of them.

Something urgent? It passes the call to a person, and tells the caller to ring 995 if it's an emergency.

Here is one of those calls.

Illustrative sample — clinic, doctor and patient details are fictional. This recording predates our current guardrails: the agent no longer asks about symptoms or judges how urgent a case is. It routes anything clinical to your team.

Preview note: this recording will be replaced with a routine booking call before launch.

What it will never do.

  • Never gives clinical advice

    An out-of-scope question becomes a booking or a note for your team — never a guess.

  • Never invents an answer or a price

    It speaks only from what you've written down. If it wasn't told, it says "let me have someone confirm."

  • Never hides that it's AI

    Every caller is told, and can ask for a person at any time.

  • Never handles an emergency alone

    Trauma, bleeding, severe pain — it escalates to a human and says to call 995 if it's urgent.

  • Never replaces your receptionist

    It answers the calls she can't — lunch, after hours, mid-chair.

WhatsApp

Your patients already live here.

Rescheduling by phone means calling, waiting, and asking. That friction is where no-shows come from. On WhatsApp it is one tap.

Rescheduling, start to finish

Sample thread
  1. Clinic:

    Hi Mrs Tan — a reminder of your appointment with Dr Lim tomorrow, Thursday, at 3:00pm. Reply 1 to confirm, 2 to reschedule, 3 to cancel.

    Sent a day before, automatically
  2. Patient:

    2

  3. Clinic:

    No problem. Here are the next open times with Dr Lim:

    Friday, 10:30amFriday, 4:00pmMonday, 11:00am
  4. Patient:

    Friday, 4:00pm

  5. Clinic:

    Done — you're booked with Dr Lim on Friday at 4:00pm. We'll send a reminder two hours before.

    Your calendar updated. Your team sees the change.

A second front desk, in the app they already use

Patients book, reschedule, or cancel by message. No app to install, no portal login, no hold music.

Reminders that answer back

Nudges go out 7 days, 24 hours, and 2 hours before the visit — and the reply is handled in the same thread.

Real slots, checked when they tap

The times offered are your actual openings, re-checked at the moment the patient chooses one.

The plan

Three steps. Your front desk first.

  1. 1

    Book a 15-minute call

    We look at when your phones go unanswered, and whether we can help.

  2. 2

    Set up with your front desk

    We start with your receptionist, load your hours and FAQs, and point your existing number at Connectify.

  3. 3

    Go live

    Calls go live in about two weeks. Nothing forwards until your front desk has signed off.

No IT project, no downtime, no number to change.

Our promise: if your call-capture rate is not above 80% sixty days after go-live, we keep working on it at no charge until it is.

Launch Partners also get their first fourteen days free.

QUESTIONS

What dental clinic owners ask first

  • Will it replace my receptionist?

    No. It takes the calls she cannot pick up — lunch hour, after hours, when she is at the chair. She keeps the walk-ins, the sensitive consults, and the doctor handoffs. The daily summary shows every call and where it went. Ask your front desk how many patients this week couldn't get through.

  • Are you PDPA-compliant?

    Yes. We follow the Personal Data Protection Act for every patient record we touch. Our Data Protection Officer is named on the security page. Patient records and call transcripts stay on Singapore infrastructure. Still unsure? Message us directly at hello@connectify.ai — replies within one business day.

  • Does it work with my dental CRM?

    Today we write every booking into a shared calendar and send a daily CSV. Direct links into Plato, ClinicConnect, and Healthway are on our roadmap — they are not live yet. Save your specialty's spot on the Launch Partner waitlist below.

  • How much does it cost?

    Connectify is a subscription. Launch Partners lock special cohort pricing for as long as the account stays open. Apply as a Launch Partner below and we will walk you through your exact number on a 15-minute call.

  • What does the pilot look like?

    Six weeks. Week 1 is setup. Week 2 goes live. Weeks 3–6 we tune the scripts and review the numbers together. If your call-capture rate is not above 80% sixty days after go-live, we keep working on it at no charge until it is. Still unsure? Message us directly at hello@connectify.ai — replies within one business day.

  • Do my patients need an app or WhatsApp?

    No. They call the number on your signboard and Google listing — nothing to download, no new number to save — and Connectify answers. The patients who phone you today, including older patients who never text, reach you the same way. Ask your front desk how many patients this week couldn't get through.

  • How is it different from a WhatsApp chatbot?

    A chatbot only works when a patient types. We cover the hours your front desk isn't there — on the line patients already dial. Calls are answered, booked and rescheduled, cancelled slots are refilled from your waitlist, and anything clinical or urgent goes to your team. Built for Singapore clinics, not a bot bolted onto chat. Save your specialty's spot on the Launch Partner waitlist below.
