Building the Foundation for Success With the Right Marketing Partner

In the world of dentistry and in marketing, the competition is fierce. At MDA, we’re fully aware that other marketing agencies solicit our clients and sometimes even convince them to make the switch.

We simply pick up where we left off.

Most importantly, their marketing strategy aligns with their goals.

The More, the Better: Why Data Makes All the Difference

Dental insurance is a hot-button topic for practices that operate on a fully fee-for-service basis as well as those that are in network with every insurance company imaginable. The healthcare system has trained patients only to use providers within their insurance network. Practices usually include this in the list of cons when considering the fee-for-service model, and fee-for-service practices often struggle with overcoming the insurance bias with new patients. What if I told you that we’ve unlocked the secret to booking more new patient appointments even when your practice is out of network?
