How much does a dental answering service cost?

How HaloDesk pricing works

HaloDesk is $1,999/mo flat, month to month, with no setup fee and no per-call or per-minute fees. That covers after-hours and weekend calls answered in English under your practice name, requests your team confirms, urgent calls flagged, and a 7:30 AM summary to your front desk. Annual prepay is 12 months for the price of 10.

• Generic answering services usually bill per minute or per call, so the bill rises with call volume and call length.
• AI dental platforms are often sold per location and bundled with phone systems, texting or practice-software integrations.
• HaloDesk is a single flat monthly price for done-for-you after-hours answering, focused on independent dental practices and med spas in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Understand the billing model

We suggest separating the billing unit from the service scope. A per-minute price describes time, a per-call price describes calls and a flat monthly price describes a recurring service fee. None of those labels alone tells you what the answering service does.

Ask how the provider defines a billable minute or call, what is included and what appears on the invoice. We do not quote competitor prices here; terms and rates can change.

• Per minute: check how call duration is counted.
• Per call: check which calls count toward billing.
• Flat monthly: check the included service scope and any usage terms.

What our $1,999 monthly service includes

We answer calls in English under your practice name on nights and weekends. Common questions are answered from your practice fact sheet. We take requests your team confirms and email the 7:30 AM morning summary.

Your practice keeps its existing number. HaloDesk After-Hours Receptionist is month to month with no setup fee. We do not give clinical advice, and a request still needs confirmation by your team.

Monthly or annual payment

Monthly pricing is $1,999/mo. Annual prepay is $19,990 for 12 months, which is the price of 10 monthly payments.

Compare payment timing as well as the service itself. Monthly payment is month to month; annual prepay covers the 12-month period up front. The answering scope remains nights and weekends with a morning summary.

The first three founding practices

The first 3 founding practices get 30 days free in exchange for an optional testimonial. The testimonial is optional; this is an offer, not a statement about any practice’s experience.

That founding offer is distinct from the regular monthly price and the annual prepay option. We keep those terms separate so you can see the service price clearly.

A demo is not a call-volume forecast or an estimate of a competitor’s bill.
