Harnessing the Power of Patient Personas to Elevate Your Dental Practice Marketing

Let’s be honest, many dentists and practice managers speculate. They hypothesize about what concerns patients. They formulate marketing website copy and advertising campaigns built on their own interpretations, without directly engaging with the people who will genuinely utilize their dental services. This method isn’t just inefficient; it’s a squandering of valuable time and resources.

The Importance of Naming and Visual Branding for a Dental Practice

A strong brand identity distinguishes you from competitors and helps create an emotional connection with patients, instilling confidence in the quality of care and fostering trust and loyalty. Good branding also plays a role in attracting and retaining top talent, as dental professionals are more likely to associate themselves with reputable and respected practices.

Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) is very prominent in the headlines today. Somewhere between the fear of job losses, and the extinction of the human race, lies a tremendous opportunity to advance all aspects of dentistry.

How many treatment rooms should a dental office have?

Well-run, customer-centric dental practices are seeing unprecedented growth, often with far greater demand than they’re able to accommodate. While this surge in demand for great dental care is, at times, tempered by hiring challenges for dental staff, it is still pretty extraordinary.

Creating a Multi-Generational Legacy at Turlock Dental Care

The practice that Dr. Robert McCulla, DDS once considered selling is now thriving and growing quickly. “My role will change over time,” he says. “I’ll be moving more into a CEO position, focusing on cosmetic dentistry, with a focus on doing veneers, sedation dentistry for fearful patients, and clear aligners like Invisalign. I will be mentoring the associates, coaching them, helping them.”

What they don’t tell you about using dental loupes

I could just jump right to telling you what I consider the best dental loupes for most practitioners, but it wouldn’t make sense unless you understand the WHY. I need to talk first about some of the science behind loupe use, to help you properly judge loupe function.

Plan for dental office expansion

The ability to remain fully open during a future office expansion is critical, and should be carefully considered from the outset. You cannot be expected to shut down your dental office for extended periods of time, or to go prolonged periods without vital elements.

Your dental staff needs a space of their own

Your staff lounge should be a place for your team to relax and just be themselves, and so my team typically locates this space away from the treatment rooms and business areas.

Create space for deploying dental office technology

Productivity requires flexibility. That means the ability to perform any dental procedure, in any room, at any time. However, this does not mean you should stock everything needed to do any procedure in every room all the time.

In your dental office floor plan, it’s important that the doctor’s office is in an area that can be private when needed, but not so far away that the dentist loses valuable connection to patients and staff, and the flow of everyday activity. This combination is actually pretty difficult to accomplish in many layouts.
