Limerick's Treaty City Dentists: Every Call Answered, Every Patient Booked

Limerick — Ireland's third-largest city with 102,287 residents and a metro population of 162,000 — is in the middle of a transformation. The Limerick 2030 regeneration plan is attracting new businesses, the University of Limerick continues to grow, and the city's population is younger and more mobile than ever.

For Limerick's 60+ dental practices, this growth means more potential patients — but also more missed calls during busy hours and after closing. VoiceFleet's AI receptionist ensures your 061 number is answered instantly, every time, day or night.

How VoiceFleet Works for Limerick Dentists

  1. Local 061 Limerick number — we assign one immediately, or port your existing number
  2. Practice-specific AI training — your treatments, your prices, your personality
  3. Zero wait time — every call picked up on the first ring, even when 20 patients call at once
  4. Actionable reporting — daily summaries with call recordings, bookings made, and follow-ups needed

Why Limerick Dental Practices Need VoiceFleet

The Limerick Context

Limerick sits at the heart of the Mid-West region and serves as the dental hub for patients from Clare, North Tipperary, and west Limerick county. This gives city practices a wider catchment — but also means patients will drive to whoever answers first.

  • University of Limerick — 17,000+ students, many seeking a city-centre dentist during term time
  • Shannon Free Zone proximity — thousands of workers in aviation, tech, and pharma who register with Limerick dentists
  • Limerick 2030 regeneration — new residential developments in the city centre bringing young families who need a practice
  • Rural catchment — patients from Ennis, Nenagh, and Newcastle West who call Limerick practices for specialist treatments
  • Competitive market — 60+ practices means patients have options; the one who answers the phone wins

  • Mid-West accent support — trained on Limerick and Clare English speech patterns
  • Practice management integration — Exact, Dentally, SOE, and custom PMS via API

What Limerick Practices Are Saying

"We're on Henry Street — busiest dental strip in Limerick. Between walk-in enquiries and the phone ringing non-stop, our receptionist was drowning. VoiceFleet handles all overflow calls now, and we've stopped losing new patients to voicemail." — Practice Manager, Limerick City Centre
"A patient called at 11pm on a Friday with a knocked-out tooth. VoiceFleet identified it as urgent, texted them the UHL A&E details, and booked a follow-up for Saturday morning. That's the kind of care we want to provide but couldn't before." — Dentist, Castletroy

Pricing for Limerick Practices

Plans start at €199/month. For context: the average cost of a missed new patient in Limerick (based on first-year treatment value) is approximately €750–€1,000. Capturing just one extra patient per month more than covers the subscription.

FAQ

Q: We already have a receptionist — why do we need VoiceFleet? A: VoiceFleet doesn't replace your receptionist — it supports them. It handles overflow calls, after-hours calls, and busy periods so your team can focus on in-practice patients.

Q: Can VoiceFleet handle calls from patients outside Limerick city? A: Absolutely. Many Limerick practices serve patients from Clare, Tipperary, and rural Limerick. The AI handles all callers regardless of where they're dialling from.

Q: What if a caller asks something the AI doesn't know? A: It takes a message and flags it for callback. You get an alert within minutes, so no patient query goes unanswered for long.

Q: How does emergency routing work? A: The AI detects emergency language (knocked-out tooth, severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding) and routes to your on-call number. If none is set, it directs to University Hospital Limerick A&E.

Q: Can we trial it before committing? A: Yes. VoiceFleet offers a 14-day free trial with full functionality. No card required to start.
