A dental membership plan can play a big part in developing patient loyalty and increasing your practice’s revenue. Offering annual in-office dental care plans directly to your patients also avoids the hassle of dealing with insurance companies and will appeal to those who may find it difficult to get insurance coverage – such as retirees and small-business owners.

Without a solid marketing strategy, your dental practice is likely to lose out to the competition when it comes to attracting new patients. Dentistry can be highly competitive with several practices vying for business in the same location. Staying ahead of the field in the digital age calls for an effective online strategy to promote your dental office and generate new business.

With the arrival of fall in September, many people get into the swing of celebrating all things autumn.

Video-sharing platform YouTube provides dental practices with a powerful, far cheaper alternative to marketing via traditional television advertising.

Studies have shown that consumers are just as likely to trust online reviews as reviews from friends and family.  Managing the reputation of your dental practice is critical to attracting new patients and retaining them. Even the best practices can get an undeserved negative review. Be proactive so that the good reviews outweigh the bad.
