The Email Graveyard ☠️
When most dentists Google dental newsletter examples, they’re hoping for inspiration that doesn’t feel like a root canal to read. But here’s the cold truth: most dental newsletters are boring AF.
They read like this:
“Dear patients, here are our office hours for the holiday season… blah blah blah.”
Guess what? Nobody cares. ❌
Your patients don’t want another snoozefest in their inbox. They want value, fun, and a reason to click. And if you play your cards right, your newsletter can become one of the most powerful tools in your marketing arsenal—bringing back lapsed patients, selling more treatments, and even growing your membership revenue on autopilot.
From Crickets to Cashflow
Dr. Lopez used to send out a “newsletter” once a month. You know the kind—stock tooth clip art, generic oral hygiene tips, and maybe a random recipe for quinoa salad.
Open rates? 14%.
Click-throughs? 2%.
New patients? Zero.
Then, he switched things up. Instead of “blah blah” newsletters, he leaned into:
-
Patient stories (“Meet Sarah, who transformed her smile with whitening.”)
-
Membership perks (“Join our plan this month, get a free whitening kit.”)
-
Special offers for implants, ortho, and whitening.
-
Humor & memes about dental life.
Within 90 days:
-
Open rates doubled (from 14% → 31%).
-
Membership signups added $6,500 MRR.
-
Newsletter-driven treatment bookings hit $18,000 ARR.
The difference? He stopped writing newsletters for himself and started writing them for his patients.
The Newsletter Isn’t About Teeth—it’s About Trust
Here’s the secret: Patients don’t read newsletters because they love molar trivia. They read because they:
-
Want to feel connected to your practice personality
-
Want to learn how dentistry helps them live better lives
-
Want deals, perks, and value
When you combine that with a membership program, your newsletters stop being “just info” and start being a recurring revenue driver.
Imagine every email you send has a “Join our plan” CTA that adds predictable MRR to your books. That’s how you turn a stale newsletter into a revenue-generating funnel.
