Dental practices miss a significant number of patient calls because reception staff are busy with check-ins, payments, and clinical queries. Every missed call is a lost appointment, and patients will simply call the next practice on their list.
Cloudswitched provides professional VoIP phone systems for UK dental practices. Our call queuing, auto-attendant, and multi-line features ensure more patient calls are answered, more appointments are booked, and your practice reputation is enhanced.

Dental businesses turn to us when
Their current IT provider does not understand dental practice management software like Dentally, SOE, or Exact and cannot troubleshoot clinical system issues effectively
Their digital X-ray or imaging systems keep failing to connect to patient records, wasting clinical time and frustrating dentists during appointments
They are worried about CQC compliance and do not have confidence their IT systems meet Regulation 17 requirements for data governance and security
Their NHS BSA claims submissions keep failing or timing out, delaying payments and creating administrative headaches for their practice manager
Their practice management system is running slowly, causing delays between surgeries and reducing the number of patients they can see each day
They are opening a new surgery or additional practice location and need reliable IT infrastructure that mirrors their existing setup precisely
They handle sensitive patient health data but lack proper encryption, access controls, and backup systems to protect it adequately
They have no disaster recovery plan and losing access to patient records would prevent them from operating their practice safely
They need to meet Cyber Essentials requirements for NHS contracts or want to demonstrate security best practice to patients and regulators
How it works
From first conversation to live phone system, we manage the entire process so the switch is seamless for your team.
1
Discovery & Recommendation
We assess your current phone setup, call volumes, team structure and remote working requirements. We check your broadband is suitable for VoIP and recommend the right system — hosted VoIP, Teams Voice or SIP trunking.
2
Configuration & Number Porting
We configure your entire phone system — call flows, auto-attendant menus, hunt groups, voicemail, user permissions and CRM integrations. We port your existing numbers so customers call the same number as before.
3
Handset Setup & Training
We pre-configure IP handsets, install softphone apps on laptops and mobiles, and provide hands-on training for your team. Everyone knows how to use the new system before we switch it on.
4
Go-Live & Ongoing Support
We manage the cutover to minimise disruption, monitor the system post-launch and provide ongoing technical support. Need a new user added, a call flow changed or a handset replaced? One call to us.

Why Cloudswitched for VoIP?
IT company first, telecoms provider second. That's why your phone system actually integrates with everything else.
IT company, not a telecoms reseller
We configure QoS, firewalls, VLANs and network settings properly — not just plug in phones and hope for the best. Your voice quality is our responsibility.
One point of contact
Phone system, internet connection and IT support — all managed by one team. No finger-pointing between providers when something goes wrong.
CRM integration done right
We don't just tick a box — we properly integrate your phone system with your CRM so screen pops, call logging and click-to-dial actually work reliably.
Right system, not the most expensive
If Microsoft Teams Voice is all you need, we won't upsell you a full hosted PBX. We recommend based on what fits your business, not our margin.
Network-first approach
We assess your broadband, configure QoS and test call quality before go-live. If your connection isn't good enough for VoIP, we'll fix that first — we do connectivity too.
Fraud protection included
VoIP fraud is real — hackers can run up thousands in international call charges overnight. Our systems include fraud detection and call barring to protect your business.
Seamless number porting
We manage the entire porting process — coordinating with carriers, scheduling the switchover and ensuring zero downtime. Your customers won't notice a thing.
Hybrid & remote ready
Softphone apps on every device mean your team can make and receive calls from their business number whether they're in the office, at home or on the road.
Scales instantly
Adding a new user takes minutes, not weeks. No engineer visits, no hardware orders, no waiting. Your phone system grows as fast as your business does.
Technology Infrastructure for Dental in Halifax
Technology is a critical enabler for Dental firms in Halifax, supporting everything from client communications to data management.
