Times change, and so you’ve purchased new equipment, adapted your chairside procedures and techniques, and discarded some traditional practices in favor of newer, more streamlined ones. Do your prospective patients know how your practice, and even dentistry itself, has changed? If not, you may be missing an excellent marketing opportunity.
Promoting the Dental Technology in Your Office Can Attract Quality Patients
Independent dental offices have much more to offer and can easily outshine the corporate offices, and patients know this, especially when you market your independent practice effectively.
