Never Miss a Patient Call in Swords Again

Swords is the county town of Fingal and Ireland's 8th largest urban area, with a population exceeding 40,776. Just 13 km north of Dublin city centre and minutes from Dublin Airport, Swords has transformed from a historic village — founded by St Colmcille in 560 AD — into one of Ireland's fastest-growing suburban centres. With approximately 12 dental practices serving the area, the phone is often the difference between winning and losing a new patient.

VoiceFleet's AI receptionist answers every call to your Swords practice 24/7 — booking appointments, handling enquiries, and managing after-hours emergencies — in a natural Irish voice.

How VoiceFleet Works for Swords Dentists

  1. We assign you a local 01 Dublin number — or port your existing Swords landline
  2. Our AI learns your practice — treatments, fees, availability, and communication style
  3. Calls are answered instantly — bookings go straight into your diary
  4. You get a daily summary — every call documented and every appointment confirmed

Why Swords Dental Practices Choose VoiceFleet

The Swords Challenge

Swords is a suburban powerhouse within the Fingal administrative area. The Pavilions Shopping Centre, MetroLink planning, and ongoing residential development mean the population is still growing. For dental practices, this presents distinct challenges:

  • A young, family-heavy demographic — parents calling to register children while juggling work schedules, often after 5pm
  • Proximity to Dublin Airport means transient workers and aircrew seeking emergency dental care at unusual hours
  • Competition from nearby Malahide, Donabate, and Dublin city practices — patients who can't get through call someone else
  • Many residents commute to Dublin and can only phone during lunch breaks or evenings
  • Swords Business Park and Airside Retail Park bring a daytime working population with dental needs but limited call windows
  • Fingal County Council offices are headquartered in Swords, adding to the professional daytime population

The VoiceFleet Difference

  • 24/7 availability — capture the commuter evening calls and airport emergency calls
  • Handles 50+ concurrent calls — no engaged tones when The Pavilions crowd needs a dentist
  • GDPR-compliant, EU data centres — Ireland and Frankfurt
  • Understands Dublin and North Dublin accents — including Fingal speech patterns
  • Integrates with Exact, SOE, and Dentally — seamless diary sync

What Your Patients Experience

"I'm cabin crew based out of Dublin Airport. I called a Swords dentist at 11pm after a long-haul flight with a cracked crown. The AI booked me in for the next morning — I didn't even realise it wasn't the receptionist until my wife told me." — Patient, Swords
"We're beside The Pavilions and get a lot of walk-in enquiry calls. VoiceFleet catches everything we miss when the desk is busy. Our new patient numbers are up 35% since we started." — Practice Owner, Main Street, Swords
