What is a dental practice business landline?

A dental practice business landline is a professional 01/02 phone number for your practice that forwards calls straight to your mobile or staff mobiles. It makes your dental practice look established and trustworthy while still letting you manage calls from anywhere.

How does the landline to mobile divert work for dental practices?

A patient calls your dental practice landline number, hears a normal ringing tone, and our system instantly forwards the call to your chosen mobile or mobiles. They never see your personal number and you can route calls differently for appointments, emergencies or out-of-hours.

Do I need new hardware in my dental practice?

No. There is no new hardware, desk phone or engineer visit needed. Everything runs in the cloud and your landline simply forwards to existing mobiles. You can manage settings from a simple online dashboard.

Can the AI receptionist book dental appointments?

Yes. If you miss or decline a call, our AI receptionist can answer professionally, capture the patient's name, preferred appointment times, treatment needed, and contact details, then send you a summary by SMS or email for easy booking.

Can I show the practice landline when calling patients back?

Yes, with the optional app you can call out displaying your practice landline instead of your personal mobile. This keeps your private number hidden and gives your practice a consistent professional caller ID.

Does this work with my existing practice management software?

Yes. Your practice management software handles schedules and records. Team-Connect handles the phone side – enquiries, appointments, emergencies and reception – and can work alongside any dental software.

Which dental practices can use this landline service?

The system works for general dental practices, orthodontist clinics, cosmetic dental surgeries, dental implant specialists, pediatric dentists and any dental healthcare provider across the UK.
