If Your Review Page Is Quieter Than a Library on Friday Night—We’ve Got Work to Do
Be honest—when was the last time you asked for a review and didn’t feel a little weird doing it? Lets talk about how to increase dental practice reviews!
You provide amazing care.
Patients love you.
They leave smiling.
But your Google reviews? It’s just your Aunt Janet and one guy from 2019 who misspelled your name.
Here’s the deal: If you’re not actively asking for reviews, you’re losing the best marketing you’ll never have to pay for again.
And if you’re not leveraging your membership patients—your most loyal fans—you’re REALLY leaving easy wins on the table.
Let’s fix that.
Story: How Dr. Thompson Went From Review Crickets to 300% Growth
Dr. T was crushing it clinically.
✅ Great patient relationships
✅ Awesome team
❌ But… 13 reviews after 7 years in business.
She wasn’t doing anything wrong—she just wasn’t doing anything strategic.
Then she made 3 key moves:
-
Got her team involved in the review process
-
Introduced a patient membership plan through BoomCloud™
-
Used an automated follow-up tool to prompt reviews after appointments
In just 6 months:
-
Review count tripled
-
Memberships grew by 40%
-
Revenue per patient? Up 3.7X compared to her PPOs
-
And new patients started saying, “I found you because of the reviews.”
Boom. Instant credibility AND recurring revenue.
The Exact Strategy to Increase Dental Reviews—Without Bribing People
Here’s what actually works
✅ Step 1: Ask With Confidence (Not Like You’re Begging)
Seriously—if your team says “If you could leave a review, that’d be nice,” you’re already losing.
Instead: “We love hearing from patients like you—it helps others find us, and we’d really appreciate your feedback! Here’s the link.”
Pro Tip: Use a QR code at checkout
Double Pro Tip: Make it part of your post-op text or email
Use tools like:
-
Podium
-
Birdeye
-
Or just a simple link to your Google Review page
✅ Step 2: Target Your Best Reviewers—Your MEMBERS
Let’s be real—your BoomCloud™ membership patients are your biggest fans.
They’re already bought in. They already value what you do. They come back. They pay. They refer.
Why they’re gold for reviews: ✔️ They’ve committed to your practice
✔️ They LOVE that you helped them skip the insurance mess
✔️ They usually have a lower barrier to leaving feedback
Ask them after every visit. Highlight their loyalty. They’ll happily shout your praises.
✅ Step 3: Make It Stupid Simple to Leave a Review
The harder you make it, the fewer reviews you’ll get. Period.
✅ Use a tablet at checkout
✅ Text or email them a direct link 10 minutes after they leave
✅ Embed your review form in your patient portal or receipts
Tools like BoomCloud™ let you tie review links into your membership emails, renewal reminders, and automated communications.
✅ Step 4: Use Reviews as a Flywheel for Marketing
Screenshot your best reviews and:
-
Post them on Instagram stories
-
Feature them on your website
-
Include them in your email newsletters
-
Add them to your BoomCloud™ membership landing page
People trust other people. Not your billboard. Not your logo. Real humans.
✅ Step 5: Reward the Team (Not the Patients)
Don’t offer gift cards or whitening in exchange for reviews—it’s sketchy and technically against platform rules.
✅ Instead, make reviews a team goal. Track how many you get each week and celebrate small wins.
Use BoomCloud™ to see which team members are converting memberships AND driving loyalty—you’ll see a natural lift in reviews too.
From “Hope They Leave One” to “Reviews on Repeat”
Dr. Thompson didn’t overhaul her practice. She just built a system: ✔️ Team trained to ask
✔️ Members primed to praise
✔️ Review links baked into the process
✔️ BoomCloud™ tracking revenue and loyalty in the background
Now she has social proof working for her 24/7—and patients who actually want to tell their friends.
