Need More Patients?

Most dental marketing fails because it's disconnected from what actually happens inside your practice. Agencies track digital metrics like clicks and impressions, but those numbers don't tell you if the right patients are scheduling, accepting treatment, or coming back. Without connecting your marketing to your actual practice data — production, case mix, schedule — it's largely guesswork.

Industry benchmarks from the ADCPA suggest most practices should invest between 3-5% of collections on marketing, though this varies depending on your growth stage. A newer practice looking to ramp up new patient volume will need to invest differently than an established practice focused on attracting higher-value cases. The more important question is not what you spend, but whether you can track what you're getting back.

If you can't clearly tie your marketing spend to patients in your chair and revenue collected, it's not working hard enough for you. Effective dental marketing should show you where new patients are coming from, what they're worth over time, and which channels are driving the best results — not just impressions and click-through rates.

It depends on the strategy, but in one real practice we have worked with, marketing spend began generating profit within 37 days. The longer view matters more, though: A new patient who generates $500 in month one can produce over $1,000 by month six — and with a patient lifetime of 5-10 years, the return can be 18:1 over time.
