The City of the Tribes Deserves a Smarter Dental Reception
Galway — Ireland's cultural capital and fastest-growing city in the West — has a population of 85,910, making it the country's fourth-largest urban centre. With the University of Galway bringing in over 18,000 students, a thriving arts scene drawing tourists year-round, and a tech sector anchored by Medtronic and Boston Scientific, the demand for dental care keeps climbing.
Yet most of Galway's 50+ dental practices still rely on a single receptionist to answer phones, check in patients, process payments, and manage recalls — all at once. The result? Missed calls, missed patients, missed revenue.
VoiceFleet's AI receptionist answers every call to your Galway practice on a local 091 number, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How VoiceFleet Works for Galway Dentists
- Local 091 Galway number — patients call a familiar local number (or we port yours)
- Custom-trained AI — learns your treatments, team, pricing, and the way you like to communicate
- Instant pickup — no hold queues, no voicemail, not even during Race Week
- Smart routing — emergencies go to your on-call; routine bookings go straight to your diary
Why Galway Practices Are Adopting VoiceFleet
Galway's Unique Pressures
Galway isn't just a city — it's a destination. The population swells dramatically during key periods:
- University of Galway term time — 18,000+ students, many registering with a dentist for the first time away from home
- Galway Races (late July) — the city's population effectively doubles for a week
- Galway International Arts Festival — 200,000+ visitors over two weeks each July
- Summer tourism — gateway to Connemara and the Aran Islands, bringing thousands of visitors with potential dental emergencies
- Medtech corridor workers — international professionals relocating to Galway's eastern suburbs (Oranmore, Athenry) who need a local dentist
During these peaks, your phone doesn't stop ringing — but your single receptionist can only handle one call at a time.
The VoiceFleet Advantage
- Unlimited concurrent calls — Race Week, Arts Festival, Monday mornings — every call gets answered
- After-hours coverage — Galway's dental practices typically close by 5:30pm, but patient needs don't
- GDPR-compliant, Irish-hosted — data centres in Dublin and Frankfurt
- Connacht English comprehension — our AI understands western Irish accents and colloquialisms
- Bilingual capability — basic Irish language greetings available for Gaeltacht-adjacent patients
What Galway Patients Say
"I was visiting Galway for the Arts Festival and chipped a tooth on a Saturday. I Googled a dentist and called — the AI answered immediately, found me an emergency slot for Monday morning, and texted me the address. Brilliant." — Visitor from Dublin
"We're a small practice in Salthill. We thought AI reception was only for big Dublin clinics. VoiceFleet proved us wrong — set up in two days, and we've recaptured at least 12 new patients a month from calls we used to miss." — Practice Owner, Salthill
Pricing for Galway Practices
Starting from €199/month. Smaller Galway practices (1–2 chairs) benefit most — VoiceFleet effectively gives you a full-time receptionist at a fraction of the cost of hiring.

FAQ
Q: We're a small practice — is VoiceFleet worth it for us? A: Especially for small practices. You likely can't afford a dedicated full-time receptionist who never takes breaks. VoiceFleet costs less than one day's wages per month and covers you 24/7.
Q: Can it handle patients asking about specific treatments like implants or orthodontics? A: Yes. We train the AI on your specific treatment menu. It can explain what you offer, provide ballpark pricing (if you choose), and book consultations — all based on information you approve.
Q: What about Gaeltacht patients who prefer Irish? A: VoiceFleet can open calls with an Irish greeting and handle basic bilingual interactions. Full Irish-language support is on our 2026 roadmap.
Q: Does it integrate with our online booking system? A: VoiceFleet integrates with most major practice management systems (Exact, Dentally, SOE) and can push bookings directly. If you use a custom system, we offer API integration.
Q: What if we're closed for holidays? A: That's when VoiceFleet shines most. It handles all calls during closures — booking patients into your first available slots when you reopen and managing urgent redirections.
