Minnesota Dental Laboratory Case Study: Implant Bar Overdenture

Dental implants seem to be the one sector in dentistry that is on the rise.
The reason may be partly due to the baby boomer generation, consumer awareness, or advanced technologies and products. Implant manufacturers are investing many dollars into marketing, education, and materials.

Unique Power of Dentist Postcards Marketing
Dental Postcards Marketing WHITE Paper
Too many choices: the biggest issue affecting new dentistry patient growth and dental care upgrades. This consumer tsunami of many choices is also constrained by 'available' income and appreciation for financing those choices.
Dentistry also attaches the weight of three denial, procrastination, and treatment fear. It gets to be a big wave of waiving their right to better oral health, wavering and waving as they pass by...
The best dental marketing overcomes the barrier of inaction and non-acceptance, while positioning the choice of “more dentistry” much higher!

ADA Identalloy Certificates: Vital Items for Dentists to Keep in Mind
Evidently, things just aren’t the same as they were two or three years ago. Aside from the recent recession, technology has also been a contributor to the continuous changes taking place in dentistry.
Laboratories have had to invest in new systems and materials in order to offer their dentist clients the latest products. This has come as a challenge for smaller laboratories who struggle with having the production levels of a large corporate lab.

Renstrom Lab: The Benefits of Dental Photography
> Article by Jeffrey L. Benson, DDS for Renstrom.com
Many of the doctors I consult with say that they would like to make dental photography an integral part of their dental practice, but many don’t have a dental camera, and many who do have one are using it only sporadically, if at all.
It's amazing to me that dental practices are investing tens or even hundreds of thousands on new dental technologies while ignoring the single most important practice building technology available, the dental camera.

Branding for Dentist Offices: More Than Logos
A Dental Logo is only ONE part of a dentist's brand.
First, successful dental branding is NOT manipulation. It is about the reality of how people make decisions. Focus somewhere else, and achieve nothing new or better, or as a business, gather much less revenues.
Most importantly, a dental brand should explain who you/the dentist are, why you are, and what you are able to do, and how well you are able/qualified to do it. It must be created and regularly expounded in a unique style while effectively referencing your specific expertise.
This should be done visually, logically as well as emotionally, yet appropriately, as to how it is described by your dentistry patients. It also must be developed comprehensively and consistently, detail by detail and then rinse (update) and repeat...
The concept of stick it up there on the website of nearly forever and leave it with some cute refrains takes me to:
