The difficulties during the development and building of a new dental practice can multiply in this kind of economic and business environment. Therefore, it makes sense to get a firm involved that will eliminate all the common, and not so common, trial and error mistakes.

Of course, determining the right expert to do all the things you need to build your dream dental practice can be another challenge.

Be sure the company, contractor, group or individual you select to develop your new office is working as much as possible in your interest. Plus the group should be very familiar with the dental industry and the specific needs of dentists who are often sole proprietors.

Doing some kind of consistent marketing is vital, but what and why? In an economy like this, consumers need to quickly know why your expertise is valuable and be reminded regularly.

First, Determine What Your Dental Brand Is.

To many people and dentists, branding sounds like pure marketing hooey. Sadly, it often is in dentistry advertising. Not because there is no value in branding, but because few dentists develop their brand adequately, using rationale data and appropriate examination of their business goals.

The Northern Dental Alliance would like to welcome our newest member, Leanne M. Mathieu Kramer.  She has worked with dentists and in dentistry for over 20 years. Leanne brings a high level of expertise in infection control and OSHA compliance training and implementation for dental offices throughout Minnesota. 

After working in the clinical setting, Leanne saw a common need among these dental offices. With so much focus on quality patient care, new products and technology keeping up with written infection control, MSDS, and radiation manuals fell to the back burner.

Everyone wants a solution that sets sail successfully the first time. Most dentists have just skirted around the edges of dental marketing. Why? Something else usually takes precedence. 

Unfortunately, at some point the winds change and luck, location (cubed), and trial and error are no longer on your side. A strong, consistent, proactive connective communication strategy is the only way to sail on these rough seas.

The following are seven dental marketing strategies that will increase new patient numbers and completely unfurl your sales!

Finding, Evaluating & Negotiating for a Dental Office Location

• by George Vaill - Leasing Specialist

Thankfully, finding a dental office location and negotiating for it is something you’ll rarely have to do. I say “thankfully”, because the process is one with which you probably have little familiarity and it can be fraught with difficulties and rude surprises.

At the very least, it’s very time consuming and generally takes you through lots of unfamiliar territory. So, when you’re faced with these challenges, having a well-thought out plan and following it deliberately will result in a substantial savings in time and money and a significant reduction in the hassles and stress normally associated with the process.

Traverse City, MI - With all the economic turmoil and instability, consumers are earnestly searching for genuine, long-term value. Advanced comprehensive dentistry is one way for consumers to realize many lasting benefits as well as immediate results. Cosmetic and restorative dentist, Dr. Brian Klym, has developed a new dental office website to showcase the far-reaching value associated with up-to-date, painless, complete dentistry.

What have you heard about the stock market lately? Does it make you want to buy or sell? Someone told you something and you had a very positive or negative feeling about your business, savings or investments. A lot of your reaction to the information was automatic and involuntary.

Choosing to proceed with recommended dental treatment is the same for the general consumer and your patients. They perceive (hear or see) things and too often react in a way counter to improving their dental health.

Claudia Walters, a dental office consultant, and I were discussing the process of interviewing potential dental practice job applicants. She works with dentists and dental offices to improve their hygiene production and streamline the overall practice environment.
