As 2025 approaches, it’s a good time to take a step back and think about how your dental practice can stay ahead of the curve. Patients’ needs and expectations keep changing, and practices that adapt to meet them will come out on top. So, what should you focus on to ensure you’re not just keeping up, but connecting with your patients and standing out? Here are seven simple strategies that can help you create an experience that keeps patients coming back.

7 Strategies to Grow Your Dental Practice in 2025

Video marketing has come a long way, and it’s now easier than ever for dental practices to use video to connect with patients. Gone are the days when creating a high-quality video required fancy equipment and a big budget. Today, all you need to get started is a smartphone, good lighting, and a quiet space. With just a few simple tools, your practice can create engaging video content that showcases your team, services, and patient experiences in a way that builds trust and familiarity.

Engaging Patients and Building Trust Through Video Content

Most dental practices believe they’ve created an environment where patients naturally want to return. After all, exceptional service and quality care should be enough, right? But as Karinna, a dental assistant and member of My Dental Agency’s Clinical Advisory Board (CAB), recently shared, it takes more than just good care to turn one-time patients into lifelong ones.

The Importance of Patient Retention in Growing Your Practice

Many dental practices believe they don’t need to worry about the competition down the street. After all, with a larger team, cutting-edge technology, or a more personal approach to patient care, it’s easy to assume your practice naturally stands out. While these strengths may hold true in real life, they can be lost when prospective patients search online. Their decision often boils down to what they can find on the internet—which may not always reflect the true patient experience your practice delivers.

Compete Where It Counts: Why Your Practice’s Online Presence Matters

If you don’t feel that way about your current marketing partner, then you need to watch this video to hear what makes MDA better than the rest.
