[Website Based Marketing]

Having Your Own Website – That’s very essential. Get a website as soon as possible for your dental practice and add relevant information about your dental practice.

You can cosmetic before & after pictures. refrain from posting dental extraction pics with blood in it. It can be a big turn off for the patient looking at your website.
  4. Good SEO: Ask your website designer to take care of the website SEO so that your dental practice website is showed in the search results when a prospective patient from a nearby area searches for a dental practice.
  5. Online appointment Booking: Make systems at your clinic website so that patients can book their appointments online. It’s a very useful tool and will have instant results.

Dental Practice Management – How To Use Facebook To Promote Your Dental Practice

Coming back to the question under discussion in this article

Is Facebook promotion really helpful?

We discussed in the previous slide that a dental practice is mostly a locally based model.

So, please don’t overestimate the social promotion.

A social promotion without local promotion is of no use.

First,  you need to work hard to make a name & presence in your local market & community. Make a name for yourself and your dental practice. For that, you can use the 10 Points to Make your dental practice popular mentioned in the previous slide.

Once you feel that you have made a certain amount of presence in the local community & nearby areas, then go for the social promotion.



In facebook, you have the options to promote the page/profile about your clinic by paying a certain amount. The prices vary depending on the number of people you want to see the advertisement about your dental practice in their news feed.

Facebook promotions don’t come cheap. So, target your ads properly to the correct demographic for maximum benefit.

So, target your ads properly to the correct demographic for maximum benefit.

Remember the goal of your facebook advertisement should not be to reach the maximum number of people. It should be to reach the maximum number of people in and around your locality. Facebook gives you option while creating the ads.

For example, if you have your clinic in ” New York ” and your Facebook ads appear to someone in India- it’s if no use to you. So, you need to learn how to target your Facebook ads properly so that they yield you the best results.

 (But lately Facebook is not a very good platform for promotion especially if you are a new dentist in the market as the charges are very high. Social media is already too crowded and it’s not worth it to spend money and time on it if you are just beginning.)

Instead of completely depending on Facebook promotion:

  1. Use it as a tool to connect with your previous patients.
  2. Ask your patients to join your Facebook page. Request them to give good rating and reviews on your Facebook page.
  3. Promote your ads targeting the audience in your city and nearby places. That’s most effective.

Google On-Line Promotion

This is one more most popular mode of Online promotion.

You can use google ad-words to promote your dental setup to your target demographic.

This is again a topic that needs a detailed explanation. We have already published an article on this which talk in detail about all the tools to create an online presence of your dental practice. You can read the article below:

You need to realize that only social/online promotion is not guaranteed to give you a busy practice. They are always adjuncts that can enhance the promotion your are doing on your local community. 

The main reason that will make you a successful practitioner is the amount of promotion you do in your local community & the amount you good work you do to back up the promotion.
