The cost of a missed call

The math on a missed call is brutal.

A ringing phone is the highest-intent enquiry a practice gets — and most never reach a human. Here's what the research says is walking out the door.

of calls to small businesses are answered by a live person — the rest hit voicemail, or nothing at all.

Inbound · 24/7 answering

Overflow, lunch and emergencies — all answered.

When your front desk can't pick up, Fiacail does — and writes every booking straight into your diary.

  • Overflow calls

    When every line is busy or the desk is mid-checkout, Fiacail catches the calls that would otherwise ring out — no caller on hold, no lost booking.

  • Lunch & out-of-hours

    Covers the 1pm rush, evenings, weekends and bank holidays — so a closed front desk never means a missed patient.

  • Emergency appointments

    Triages urgent cases — swelling, trauma, severe pain — offers the next emergency slot and escalates genuine 999 situations to a human.

The platform

Built to sound human, run quietly.

Everything that makes Fiacail feel like your best receptionist — and scale like software.

A voice that sounds human

Around 200ms response latency. It listens and speaks at once, handles interruptions and talks over background noise — most callers never realise it's AI.

Transcripts & summaries

Every call transcribed, recorded and summarised with next steps — emailed the moment it ends, fully searchable.

Sentiment tagging

Spots anxious or unhappy patients before they drop off.

Live analytics

Volume, outcomes and cost broken down by the hour.

Deploy in days

Live in 1–2 weeks. Updates to scripts take minutes, not weeks.

Connects to your whole stack

Practice management, calendars and comms — if it has an API, Fiacail talks to it.

Practice management Patient records Live calendar SMS WhatsApp Email Webhooks & API
Trust & compliance

Built for health data, by the book.

Dental calls contain special-category health data and card details. Fiacail is engineered for both — GDPR Article 9, PCI DSS, and EU-only data residency, with everything encrypted and fully auditable.

GDPR · Article 9

Special-category health data

Patient health information is treated as Article 9 special-category data — processed only on a lawful basis, minimised by default, with explicit consent and retention you control. Data Processing Agreement provided as standard.

PCI DSS

Compliant card handling

When a patient pays a deposit or balance over the phone, card data is captured through a PCI DSS-compliant flow and tokenised — card numbers are never stored on our systems or in call recordings.

EU data residency

All data stays in the EU

Calls, transcripts and recordings are processed and stored exclusively in EU data centres — no transfers outside the EEA. Encrypted in transit and at rest, with full audit trails on every access.

AES-256 encryption Configurable retention Full audit trails Data Processing Agreement ISO 27001-aligned hosting
Pricing

Calls from just 18c a minute.

No long contracts, no minimums — you only pay for talk time. A typical 5-minute call costs under a euro, most less than a coffee.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does it really sound like a person?+

Yes. Fiacail runs on a voice engine that listens and speaks at the same time, with around 200ms response latency. It handles interruptions, talks over background noise, and never reads like a script. Most callers don't realise they're speaking with an AI.

Do I have to change my phone number?+

No. Keep your existing number and forward calls to the AI whenever you can't pick up — after hours, at lunch, or when the desk is busy. If you'd prefer, we can also provision a new local or 1800 number in 24 hours.

How does it book into my diary?+

We integrate directly with your practice management software and calendar. The agent reads your live availability, offers real slots, books the appointment, and sends an SMS and email confirmation — all without you touching it.

How do the Google reviews work?+

After a visit, the AI follows up with the patient and gauges sentiment. Happy patients get a one-tap Google review link by SMS or WhatsApp; anyone unhappy is routed to you privately first, so concerns never become public reviews. Practices typically collect around 3× more reviews this way.

How long until we're live?+

One to two weeks. After a 30-minute discovery call we build your agent, integrate your tools, and tune the voice with you before launch. Updates after that take minutes, not weeks.

Is there a setup fee?+

Yes — a one-time setup fee covers building and tuning your agent and connecting it to your systems. Because it depends on the integrations your practice needs, we tailor it per practice and confirm the figure on your discovery call.

Is patient data handled securely?+

Yes. Calls and data are encrypted in transit and at rest, with GDPR-compliant retention controls and full audit trails. You decide what's stored and for how long.
