Common questions answered
What is the best marketing strategy for a dental practice?
The best approach combines patient referrals, local search optimization, and awareness advertising. Start by encouraging referrals from happy patients, ensure you appear in local Google searches, then build broader awareness through channels like TV advertising that reach people before they start searching.
How much should a dental practice spend on marketing?
Most successful dental practices spend 3-5% of revenue on marketing for maintenance and 7-10% for growth. New practices or those in competitive markets may need to invest more initially. Track cost per new patient and patient lifetime value to determine what you can afford to spend.
Does TV advertising work for dental practices?
TV advertising works well for dental practices because it builds the trust and familiarity patients need when choosing a dentist. Unlike search ads that reach people already looking, TV reaches people before they need you, making your practice the obvious choice when the need arises.
How do dental practices get more new patients?
Focus on three areas: visibility (local SEO, advertising), reputation (reviews, referrals), and conversion (website, phone handling). Many practices focus too heavily on one area. The practices that grow fastest balance all three so they're found, trusted, and easy to schedule with.
