Your Social Media is Losing You Money—Let’s Fix That

Let’s be honest—Social Media Management for Dentists can be tough!

You post:
❌ A blurry team photo.
❌ A generic “Happy National Flossing Day!” post that gets 3 likes (2 of which are from your staff).
❌ The occasional “We’re Accepting New Patients!” post that nobody actually reads.

Meanwhile, the practice down the street is running Facebook & Instagram ads, growing a loyal patient base, and scaling their revenue with a membership plan.

The difference? They have a real social media strategy.

What if I told you that, instead of just “posting,” you could:
ATTRACT high-value patients who actually PAY.
STOP depending on PPOs and grow your own revenue.
GENERATE recurring income (MRR & ARR) by promoting a membership plan.

Keep reading to learn how to use social media to get NEW patients & scale predictable, recurring revenue.


Why Most Dentists Fail at Social Media (And How You Can Win)

Meet Dr. Jessica Martin.

She was:
Wasting time posting random content on Instagram & Facebook.
Frustrated that social media wasn’t getting her new patients.
Sick of relying on insurance companies for revenue.

Then, she did something different—she STOPPED posting “Happy Tooth Fairy Day” and STARTED running targeted Facebook & Instagram ads for her membership plan.

Fast forward 12 months:
800+ membership patients enrolled.
MRR hit $30,000.
ARR surpassed $360,000.

That’s the power of strategic social media management for dentists.


The Best Social Media Strategies for Dentists

1. STOP Posting Random Content & START Running Facebook & Instagram Ads

Reality check: Organic social media is great… but if you want actual new patients, you NEED to run paid ads.

The secret weapon? Facebook & Instagram Ads.

Best Ads for Dentists:
Retargeting Ads – Show ads to website visitors & social media followers (because nobody books on the first visit).
Cold Ads – Target people in your area who need a dentist but have never heard of you.
Membership Plan Ads – Promote “No Insurance? No Problem! Get Dental Care for Just $35/Month!”

Why This Works:
✔️ Patients who see retargeting ads are 70% more likely to book.
✔️ Facebook Ads have an average ROI of 3X-10X.
✔️ Paid ads let you target the RIGHT patients, not just random followers.

2. Market Your Membership Plan FIRST (Not Just Your Practice)

Most dentists run ads for cleanings, implants, and Invisalign. That’s great… but you’re missing out on a bigger opportunity.

Instead of just selling treatments, sell a membership plan.

Best Membership Plan Ads:
Facebook Ads: “No Dental Insurance? Join Our $35/Month Membership & Save!”
Instagram Reels: “How to Save $$$ on Dental Care Without Insurance!”
Google Ads: “Affordable Dental Care in [Your City] – No Insurance Needed!”

Why This Works:
✔️ 50%+ of Americans don’t have dental insurance.
✔️ Membership patients spend 2X-4X more on treatment.
✔️ You create predictable, recurring revenue (MRR & ARR).

3. Run Retargeting Ads (Because Nobody Books on the First Visit)

Ever looked at a product online and then BOOM! – that product follows you everywhere?

That’s retargeting—and it’s for getting new dental patients.

How to Retarget Patients on Facebook & Instagram:
Step 1: Install a Facebook Pixel on your website.
Step 2: Run ads targeting people who visited your site but didn’t book.
Step 3: Offer them a membership plan, special discount, or free consultation.

Why This Works:
✔️ Retargeting increases conversions by 10X.
✔️ Patients need multiple exposures before booking.
✔️ Your practice stays top-of-mind.
