Enquiries that never get a response
Silent leads that fall through the cracks of busy front desks.
Revenue leakage calculator
How much are missed dental enquiries costing you?
Missed dental enquiries cost a practice the treatment value of every patient who booked elsewhere. This calculator estimates that figure from three numbers you set: enquiries per day, the share missed or answered late, and your average treatment value. Every assumption is shown below and labelled illustrative. ReplyOS® is the system built to recover the gap it shows.

How this is calculated
Monthly revenue at risk is enquiries per day, times 30, times the missed or delayed share, times average treatment value. That is the whole model. It is illustrative because every input is an estimate until it is measured.
- Enquiries per day
- Yours. Count every route in for a week: calls, web chat, WhatsApp, email, forms, social. Illustrative default: 10.
- Missed or delayed share
- Yours. The share of enquiries that got no reply, or a reply after the patient had moved on. Illustrative default: 30%.
- Average treatment value
- Yours. Use the value of the treatments those patients asked about, not the practice average. Illustrative default: £500.
- 30-day month
- A fixed convention so monthly and yearly figures stay consistent. Yearly is monthly times twelve.
- Rounding
- Monthly revenue at risk is rounded to the nearest £100. Daily is monthly divided by 30.
- High-value leads
- Shown as one in five missed enquiries. An illustrative ratio, not a benchmark.
How much revenue do dental practices lose from missed enquiries?
It depends on three numbers only the practice knows: how many enquiries arrive each day, what share are missed or answered late, and the average value of the treatment those patients wanted. Multiply them and you have a monthly figure. The calculator on this page does that with your inputs and labels the result illustrative, because no published benchmark replaces your own numbers. ReplyOS® then measures the real figure once it is running.
What is revenue leakage in a dental practice? · How dental practices recover missed calls
Where this revenue is being lost
These aren’t edge cases — they show up every day in most practices.
Replies that arrive too late
Response times measured in days when patients expect seconds.
Conversations that stall
Engaged leads that go cold without consistent follow-up.
Patients not guided to booking
Enquiries without a clear pathway to a confirmed consultation.
Out-of-hours demand disappearing
Potential revenue that vanishes when the office is closed.
