Patient acquisition / Dental

New dental patients, booked before they call the next office.

Dental patients shop. They search "dentist near me accepting new patients," check insurance, look at reviews, and message two offices. The one that answers first, with the insurance answer and a time this week, gets the exam.

Provido runs patient acquisition for dental practices and DSOs: campaigns, the 60-second reply, online booking, and recall.

The dental funnel, honestly

Most dental marketing buys new-patient leads and hands them to a front desk that calls back the next morning. By then the patient has booked with the office that texted back last night. The fix is not more leads. It is answering the two questions every dental patient asks, insurance and how soon, within a minute, at any hour.

What it includes

  • Local search and Google Business Profile. "Dentist near me," "emergency dentist," "dentist accepting new patients," plus insurance-specific searches. Reviews decide the close call; the profile has to be maintained.
  • New patient campaigns on Meta. Service-area targeting with a plain offer: new patient exam and cleaning, in network with the plans you take, evening and Saturday hours if true.
  • Implant, aligner, and cosmetic campaigns. Higher value, longer consideration, condition-first creative that describes the outcome without diagnosing the viewer.
  • Hygiene recall and reactivation. The six-month recall list is the cheapest volume in dentistry, and most practices run it by postcard. Text sequences with one-tap booking bring lapsed patients back at zero ad spend.

For DSOs

Multi-location groups need one system with per-location campaigns, per-location booking, and a single view of cost per new patient by office. That is exactly what the Provido system does across locations.

Common questions

Straight answers

How do dental practices get new patients?
Local search and a maintained Google Business Profile, new patient campaigns to the service area with the insurance answer up front, a text reply within a minute to every inquiry, online booking, and recall sequences for existing patients.
What is a good cost per new dental patient?
It varies by market and service mix. General new patient exams tolerate lower acquisition costs; implant and aligner cases justify much higher. Measure cost per completed first visit by campaign, not cost per lead.
How do I reactivate lapsed dental patients?
Text-based recall with a one-tap booking link, sent on the patient's own recall interval, followed by a gentle reactivation sequence for anyone past 12 months. It runs at zero new ad spend and is usually the fastest win available.
Can dental practices advertise on Facebook and Google?
Yes. Dental is less restricted than many health categories, but before-and-after imagery, testimonial rules, and personal-attribute targeting rules still apply.
