Dentistry is NOT Boring. So Why is Your Marketing?
Let’s cut the floss: Most dental marketing is about as exciting as watching fluoride dry.
“Family-friendly care.”
“Your smile is our top priority.”
“We cater to cowards.”
Cringe.
If you’re serious about learning how to market a dental office and actually get results (AKA butts in chairs and dollar bills in the drawer), it’s time to stop being another generic mouth mechanic.
Instead, market like a modern dental CEO using real data, behavioral psychology, and — yep — recurring revenue systems that make your practice look like a Fortune 500 company… even if you’re still rocking a six-op strip mall startup.
Dr. Jessica Took Control and Made Marketing FUNctional Again
Meet Dr. Jessica Wright, a fiery GP out of Boise, Idaho.
For years, she threw money at Google Ads and got crickets.
She hired an “SEO expert” who couldn’t even spell molar.
And her Instagram? Let’s just say… it had the vibe of a local funeral home.
Then she discovered BoomCloud™ and built her own dental membership plan.
But here’s the kicker — instead of just adding it as a payment option…
She made it the centerpiece of her entire marketing strategy.
Boom.
Want to Win in Marketing? Create an Offer Patients Wantto Buy
Marketing a dental office shouldn’t just be about ads or billboards or TikTok dances.
It starts with your offer.
Dr. Wright launched this:
“$29/month Smile Club — 2 Cleanings, 1 Exam, X-Rays + 15% off All Treatment. No Insurance? No Problem.”
BOOM!
Her marketing got spicy. Results?
-
311 sign-ups in 6 months
-
$9,019 MRR (monthly recurring revenue)
-
ARR (annual recurring revenue): $108,228
-
3X increase in case acceptance from members
-
And guess what? Her ad spend dropped by 42% — because the offer sold itself
Here’s What Really Works When Marketing Your Dental Practice
Marketing isn’t about shouting louder — it’s about speaking smarter.
Here’s how to market a dental office like a BOSS using the BoomCloud™ framework + a bit of psychological wizardry:
7 Killer Ways to Market Your Dental Office

-
Launch a recurring revenue membership plan with BoomCloud™
-
Promote it on your homepage, emails, social media, and front desk
-
Make it your value ladder to upsell high-ticket treatment
Why?
Patients with no insurance are looking for a reason to choose YOU.
Membership = trust + affordability + loyalty.
2. Turn Social Media into a Magnet, Not a Megaphone
-
Share member-only perks
-
Highlight your plan’s benefits in short, punchy reels
-
Feature testimonials with “Before + After” visuals
-
Offer giveaways: “Win 6 Months Free Membership!”
Best Performing Platforms:
-
Facebook Groups (hyperlocal)
-
Instagram Reels
-
Google Business Profile Posts
-
YouTube Shorts
3. Use Direct Mail with a Direct Offer (Dan Kennedy-Style)
Forget lame postcards.
Send an irresistible offer like:
“Join our Smile Club and get your next cleaning FREE ($189 value) — no insurance needed!”
Include:
✅ QR Code to sign up
✅ Deadline to act
✅ Clear benefit stack
Use PostcardMania or Every Door Direct Mail for targeting
4. Add a QR Code Signup in Your Waiting Room
Let people enroll before they even meet you.
BoomCloud™ lets you create landing pages & QR signups.
Stick it on windows, chairs, counters, and bathroom doors.
Nerdy fact: QR code usage is up 96% since 2021.
5. Run Email Campaigns Like a Closer
Build an automated 5-email sequence:
-
Problem: “Tired of dealing with insurance?”
-
Agitation: “See how insurance limits your care”
-
Solution: “Introducing our in-house Smile Club”
-
Testimonial: “Mary saved $432 last year”
-
Urgency: “Last chance to get your first month free!”
Open rates go up when you lead with a clear pain point + bold offer.
6. Get Your Team to SELL It (Yes, I Said SELL)
Train your front desk & hygienists to pitch the plan naturally:
⚕️ “Just so you know, we offer a membership that helps patients save big — especially if you don’t have insurance. Want me to break it down real quick?”
BoomCloud™ gives your team all the scripts & training videos.
7. Use Video Testimonials to Build Instant Trust
Grab your iPhone. Film happy patients saying:
“I joined the Smile Club because I don’t have insurance. Best decision ever. I saved $600 this year — and my teeth have never been healthier.”
Post to:
✅ Google Business Profile
✅ Instagram
✅ Website
✅ Email signature
Pro tip: Add subtitles and emojis for max attention
Membership Patients Spend WAY More
