Whether your practice has been using 3D printing for years or just starting to explore the possibilities, it’s important to let people know about it. Marketing your technology will help you get more out of your investment by attracting high-quality patients who appreciate what modern dentistry can do.
It feels good to write a new patient’s name in the schedule. It’s validation that the practice’s marketing strategies are working, and it means the practice is growing. Dental practices target new patients to increase revenue, and I support this wholeheartedly. However, if after the first appointment a patient leaves for a competing practice, doesn’t use your practice for all their needs, or simply never returns, growth will be limited or may stagnate. I have a surefire way to prevent that from happening, and it involves marketing, of course.
There’s no single formula. But when your marketing investment is aligned with your goals, your patient base, and the stage of your practice, you’re in a much better position to grow with confidence.
What if the goal isn’t retirement but freedom?
That’s one of the themes in a recent conversation between My Dental Agency’s Jackie Cullen and Dr. David Phelps—former dentist, real estate investor, and founder of Freedom Founders, a private community for dentists who want more control over their time, money, and future.
We have big news to share: My Dental Agency has again been recognized as one of Tampa Bay’s Best Places to Work! The Tampa Bay Business Journal released its 2025 list, and MDA came in at #9 in the “Small Company” category—two spots higher than last year.
By creating systems that support a smooth, thoughtful, and patient-centered experience from the very first touchpoint, your practice can build trust that lasts—and lay the groundwork for long-term growth.
Scroll through Instagram or TikTok these days and you might notice something unexpected—dentists are going viral. Not for trendy dances, but for teeth tips, candid clips about diet and decay, and dramatic smile transformations. Their videos rack up thousands of views, and their practices are booked solid.
A blog can do much more than boost your SEO. It’s an opportunity to reflect on your priorities, highlight your practice’s expertise, and show patients the kind of care they can expect from your team.
Patients today are savvier than ever. They’re asking better questions, doing their research, and making more intentional choices about their health. They want providers who think beyond quick fixes and who understand that what happens in one part of the body can impact the rest.
Imagine you’re planning a luxury vacation. Would you search for the cheapest hotel—or look for one that reflects the experience you want? Patients go through a similar process when choosing a dentist. Those seeking cosmetic enhancements, full-mouth restorations, or a more personalized level of care aren’t focused on price—they’re focused on quality, trust, and results.
