Podcasts about dental marketing

Patients today don't just choose a dentist based on price or location—they choose the story you tell. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, I sit down with Ian DeJong of Pain Free Dental Marketing to explore how storytelling has become the new backbone of dental marketing. We cover why reviews are “the Bitcoin of dental marketing,” how to attract the right patients instead of every patient, and the simple shifts you can make in your practice to stand out in a crowded market. If you've ever wondered how to move beyond generic messaging and truly connect with patients, this episode will show you the path forward. Here are some of the interesting stuff we talked about in this episode. Why Storytelling Matters: Patients aren't just buying services—they're buying your story, values, and unique approach to care. The Power of Reviews: As Ian puts it, “Reviews are the Bitcoins of dental marketing.” Reputation is now the #1 factor patients consider when choosing a dentist. Attracting the Right Patients: It's not about chasing every new patient—it's about attracting the right ones who align with your values and help prevent burnout. The Role of the Dentist: Marketing success depends on your participation—reviews, testimonials, and authentic messaging start in your office. What Sets Great Practices Apart: Generic “we treat patients like family” isn't enough. Distinct experiences, stories, and brand voice create lasting trust. Looking Ahead: The future of dental marketing is less about Google Ads and more about authentic social proof, storytelling, and meaningful patient connections.   — Key Takeaways 00:46 Introduction to Dental Marketing and Storytelling 03:02 Understanding Pain-Free Dental Marketing 07:25 The Shift to Storytelling in Dental Marketing 11:50 Differentiating Your Dental Practice 13:10 The Importance of Google Reviews 14:20 How Patients Select Dentists Today 20:30 Attracting the Right Patients 25:07 The Dentist's Role in Marketing Success 27:55 Future Trends in Dental Marketing 30:50 What May Fade in Dental Marketing 33:50 Lightning Round Q&A — Connect with Ian

Proven Dental Marketing Tips That Bring New Patients Bringing in new patients today requires more than polished ads. It's about authenticity, visibility, and connection. A Dental Assistant plays a crucial role in dental marketing, not only inside the practice but also in shaping how the team is seen online. From genuine patient testimonials to engaging posts on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, reels, and YouTube Shorts, the way a practice shows its personality is often what builds trust. Even something as simple as consistent content or thoughtful dental SEO contributes to growing a dental practice by making sure the right people see the right message. Marketing isn't just about promotion—it's about creating a human presence that patients can believe in.

Silence is costing your practice more than you think. Every time you put a patient on hold and they hear nothing but dead air—or worse, that same generic tune on repeat—you're missing out on a chance to build trust, educate, and even grow your practice. In this episode, we uncover why silence is expensive and how your on-hold message can become one of the most overlooked marketing tools in dentistry. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, I sit down with John Waller, “The On Hold Guy,” who has been serving the dental industry for over 30 years. Together, we explore how customized on-hold messaging can transform patient experience, strengthen your brand, and increase ROI—all for just a few dollars a day. If you've ever wondered whether patients are tuning out during those long hold times, or how you can turn wasted moments into opportunities, this conversation will show you the way. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The true cost of silence: Why patients hang up when they hear nothing (and how to prevent it). The anatomy of a great on-hold message: From doctor credentials to services, reviews, and even staff shout-outs. Technology made simple: Whether your office runs on VoIP or still uses landlines, implementation is easier than you think. Best practices you should be using: From alternating voice talents to updating scripts quarterly for fresh impact. How on-hold messages boost ROI: Simple tracking methods and patient feedback that prove the value. Creative content ideas: From dental trivia to highlighting employee-of-the-month, keeping patients engaged and connected. — Key Takeaways 00:39 Introduction and Event Announcement 03:20 The Importance of On-Hold Messaging 04:25 Creating Effective On-Hold Messages 07:00 Implementation and Compatibility of On-Hold Systems 08:28 The Role of Patient Education 10:15 Voice Personalization in On-Hold Messages 12:20 Script Writing and Customization 14:23 Best Practices for On-Hold Messaging 19:25 Content Suggestions for On-Hold Messages 22:58 Measuring ROI from On-Hold Messaging 25:10 Trial Period and Getting Started 26:07 Referral Program and Networking 26:49 Lightning Round Q&A 32:05 Conclusion and Contact Information — Connect with John If you'd like to learn more about how The On Hold Experience can help your practice transform silence into a patient education and marketing tool, reach out to John directly: Call/Text: 208-546-8330 Email: theonholdguy@gmail.com Try the 45-Day Free Test Drive — no long-term commitment, just $59/month after.

Stop chasing “one big marketing trick.” If SEO is the only lever you're pulling, you're leaving money on the table—and patients on page two. In this episode, we break down how premium practices win with a whole-practice approach: brand, systems, and a memorable new-patient experience that starts before the first visit. In this episode, I talk with Jackie Ulasewicz-Cullen about moving beyond “rank-at-all-costs” thinking to a comprehensive, measurable growth system. We break down why there's no silver bullet in dental marketing and how an omnichannel mix—reviews, humanized social, targeted Google Ads with single-focus landing pages, and a conversion-ready website—works together. We zoom in on the new-patient experience: rapid responses, pre-visit doctor touchpoints, clear expectations, and thoughtful follow-ups that turn inquiries into trust and treatment. We also spotlight the most neglected profit center in dentistry—retention—and the metrics that reveal whether you're quietly shrinking or sustainably growing. Here's what we talked about in this episode: No silver bullet: SEO is a channel, not a strategy; build a portfolio of levers. Compete smart: In dense markets, SEO is long-term—pair it with Google Ads → single-focus landing pages to capture demand now. Speed-to-lead wins: Reply to forms/chats within minutes; slow responses kill conversion. Doctor touch = trust: A brief pre-visit call/text from the dentist lifts show rate and acceptance. Reviews with heart: Automate requests; dentist closes the loop on negatives—solve first, never ask for removal. Human social > generic posts: Short, educational team videos build connection and assist conversion. Retention is revenue: Track lost/inactive vs new, run reactivation, and educate existing patients on services (“Did you know we offer…?”). Measure what matters: Time-to-response, show rate, case acceptance, production per lead, and churn—not just clicks or calls. — Key Takeaways 00:47 Introduction and Event Announcement 02:10 Meet Jackie Cullen: A Marketing Expert 04:00 Understanding Comprehensive Marketing Strategies 05:30 Misconceptions in Dental Marketing 08:00 SEO in Competitive Markets                                                                                                    11:33 Omnichannel Marketing Approach 14:00 Enhancing the New Patient Experience 17:14 The Importance of Human Connection 19:34 Retention, Relationships, and Reputation 22:35 The Value of Patient Retention 25:50 Social Media and Advertising Strategies 29:50 Building Trust with Marketing Agencies 32:17 The Importance of Agency Involvement 34:15 Lightning Round Q&A 37:55 Conclusion and Resources — Connect with Jackie You can connect with Jackie Ulasewicz-Cullen and her agency through: Website: mydentalagency.com — click the “Schedule a Call” button right on the homepage.

If you don't truly know your numbers, you might be leaking money without even realizing it. Most dentists assume they're making more than they actually are—but are you calculating your real take-home income? In this episode, we break down what's actually going on behind the financial curtain of your practice—and how to fix it. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, I sit down with dental CPA Travis Slade to talk about the financial clarity every dentist needs—but few actually have. We break down the five core financial drivers that impact your real income: revenue, overhead, debt, taxes, and personal spending. These aren't just accounting terms—they're the difference between feeling in control and constantly feeling cash-strapped. Travis shares insights gained from working directly in dental offices, and explains how most practice owners are in the dark about where their money goes. We dig into common traps—like inflated overhead, lifestyle creep, and taking on debt without understanding the long-term impact—and give practical tips to help you make better decisions around hiring, investing, and personal budgeting. This episode will help you assess your financial health, calculate your true break-even point, and set goals that actually move the needle. If you're serious about building a practice that supports the life you want, this is one you don't want to miss.   Here's what we talked about in this episode: The five financial drivers that actually determine your take-home pay Why revenue can be a misleading metric if you don't track overhead and debt Ideal overhead breakdowns (including wages, supplies, marketing, and more) Understanding debt health: what's manageable and what becomes a liability The impact of personal spending on your stress, cash flow, and practice health How to strategically invest in marketing (and know if it's actually working) What your monthly break-even number really is—and why you need to know it Common financial traps dentists fall into and how to avoid them Travis's #1 piece of advice for financial stability and long-term growth — Key Takeaways 00:39 Introduction and Event Announcement 04:10 Understanding Financial Metrics for Dental Practices 05:31 The Five Financial Drivers of Dental Practices 09:40 Revenue: The Misleading Top Line Number 12:20 Overhead: Managing Practice Expenses 16:32 Debt Management in Dental Practices 22:07 Personal Spending and Lifestyle Choices 25:02 The Financial Matrix: Understanding Break Even 26:19 Common Financial Traps for Dentists 28:45 Marketing Investments and Financial Projections 30:28 Final Thoughts and Advice   — Connect with Travis Want help decoding your numbers or figuring out your break-even point?

This proven process helps practices break free from the insurance trap and build real connections that lead to better case acceptance, more referrals, and steady growth.
