Cork Dental Practices Deserve a Receptionist That Never Sleeps
Cork — Ireland's second city with 224,000 residents and a metro population exceeding 305,000 — is home to over 120 dental practices competing for patients across Leeside. From the bustling centre near the English Market to suburban clinics in Douglas, Ballincollig, and Carrigaline, the challenge is the same: phones ring, and no one's free to answer.
VoiceFleet's AI receptionist picks up every call to your Cork practice instantly — on your local 021 number — booking appointments, answering treatment questions, and handling after-hours emergencies with a natural voice your patients won't second-guess.
How VoiceFleet Works for Cork Dentists
- A local 021 Cork number — assigned instantly, or we port your existing line
- AI trained on your practice — your specific treatments (from routine check-ups to Invisalign), your fee schedule, your calendar
- Instant call answering — no hold music, no voicemail, no "please call back during office hours"
- Full daily reporting — every interaction logged with call recordings, transcripts, and action items
Why Cork's "Rebel City" Dentists Are Switching
What Makes Cork Different
Cork isn't Dublin. It's a proud, tight-knit city where word of mouth still drives most dental referrals. University College Cork brings 22,000+ students who need new dentists each September. The growing pharma and tech corridor (Pfizer, Apple, Qualcomm) means a constant influx of professionals and their families.
- UCC students: 22,000+ potential new patients arriving each autumn, most unfamiliar with local practices
- Pharma workers: Many relocate from overseas and search "dentist near me Cork" within their first week
- After-hours gap: Cork's dental practices typically close at 5:30pm — but emergencies peak between 6pm and 10pm
- Seasonal spikes: Tourist season (June–September) brings visitors with dental emergencies who need immediate response

Real Results from Cork Practices
"We're a two-chair practice in Blackpool. Before VoiceFleet, we missed maybe 20 calls a week — I know because I could see them in the phone logs. Now every single one gets answered. We've taken on 35 new patients in two months that we would have lost." — Dentist, Cork Northside
"The AI handled a call from a tourist with a broken crown on a Sunday evening. It booked them into our Monday emergency slot and sent directions to the practice. That patient left us a five-star Google review." — Practice Owner, Cork City Centre
Pricing for Cork Practices
Plans start at €199/month. For a typical Cork practice missing 15+ calls per week, the maths is simple: even capturing 5 new patients per month at an average first-year value of €900 each delivers €4,500/month in new revenue.

FAQ
Q: Can VoiceFleet handle calls from patients with strong Cork accents? A: Yes. Our speech recognition is trained on Munster English dialects, including Cork city and county accents.
Q: We use Exact for practice management — does it integrate? A: Fully. VoiceFleet pushes appointments, patient details, and notes directly into Exact. We also support Dentally and SOE.
Q: What happens during a genuine dental emergency after hours? A: The AI identifies emergencies (severe pain, facial swelling, knocked-out teeth) and routes immediately to your designated on-call number. If no on-call is set, it directs the patient to CUH A&E or South Infirmary.
Q: Is there a contract? A: No long-term commitment. Month-to-month billing. Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice.
Q: Can the AI upsell treatments like whitening or Invisalign? A: If a patient asks about cosmetic treatments, the AI provides your pre-approved information and books a consultation. It doesn't hard-sell, but it does capture interest that would otherwise be lost.
