New patient inquiry call

Open (warm and private)

Thanks for calling practice name, this is your name. I would love to help. May I get your name?

Understand the need

  • What made you reach out today, patient name?
  • Are you in any discomfort right now, or is this more of a checkup?
  • Have you been to a dentist recently?

Shift from price to goal

Many people ask about cost first, which is fair. What I would love to do is get you in so the dentist can see what you actually need, and then we can talk about options and cost with real information.

Book the visit

I have appointment time open. Shall I hold that for you? The next step is next step, and we will send everything you need beforehand.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use these templates commercially?
Yes. Copy, edit, and use them in your business, client work, CRM, help desk, or sem.chat workspace.
Why are there six variants?
One generic template rarely fits every situation. Six variants give your team practical choices without a messy library.
Should I paste these into sem.chat?
Yes. Save the best variants as canned replies, knowledge base entries, routing rules, or CRM notes so your AI agent and team stay consistent.
What is the most important dental sales skill?
Case acceptance. Many practices think they have a marketing problem when they actually have a case-acceptance problem, and it starts the moment the phone rings (MGE).
How do I handle a patient who only asks about price?
Acknowledge the question, then shift the focus to their actual health need and get them in to be seen. Discuss cost with real information, not a phone guess.
How do I present a treatment plan?
Explain what the treatment does and the cost of waiting before you state the price. Health first, numbers second, then ask for the decision.
How do I reassure an anxious patient?
Acknowledge the fear first, find the specific worry, and address that one. Reassurance about the wrong worry can make hesitation worse.
How do I bring lapsed patients back?
Lead with genuine care for their health, not guilt, and make rebooking a single easy step, such as holding a time for them.
