Celebrating Success: My Dental Agency’s Year in Review

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

The concept of “new dentistry” is reshaping how practices achieve sustainable growth, but most dentists and marketing professionals have never heard of it. New dentistry is a strategic shift that focuses on organically expanding your practice by taking full advantage of an often-overlooked resource: existing patients. Rather than focusing solely on attracting new patients, new dentistry aims to nurture relationships with current patients so they will return, accept more treatments, and refer others.

When implemented correctly, a reservation fee acts as a filter, ensuring that patients who schedule appointments are genuinely committed to receiving quality dental care. However, as with any strategy, its success hinges on proper execution.
