South Barrie Dentist Marketing

Wow since moving to Barrie, Ontario I think there are more advertisements for Barrie dentists on each corner than gas stations. I guess everyone had the same idea.  Lets open my new dental practice in Barrie, better yet the booming part of South Barrie and patients will be beating down the door.  Not so, the competition is fierce and to be successful in growing your practice you need a good marketing strategy.

What are your goals with your Barrie dental practice?

If its finding new patients that are seeking cosmetic oriented services like Invisalign in Barrie or porcelain veneers or a simple 1 hr Zoom teeth whitening session the marketing approach is slightly different than attracting dental hygiene visits and an insurance based practice.  Here are some quick tips to keep patients coming back to your Barrie dental office whether you are building an insurance based practice or fee-for-service practice.

If your office smells like a typical dental office, change that quickly try aromatherapy candles on your front desk and in the operatories. It will not only be more relaxing for your patients but will make the overall atmosphere better. Yes its small investment but its the little touches that count and create referrals from happy patients.

Smile and be excited when you answer the phone.  If your service levels aren't high and inviting why would anyone choose to visit your Barrie dental practice over an other practice that answers their phones with a positive upbeat voice. First impressions are so important to your success.

Stay on top of continuing education courses and be a better Barrie dentist than the next one. Be on top of your game, know all the latest techniques and use the best technology.

If your goal is to focus on providing Barrie cosmetic dentistry services like invisalign, porcelain veneers, lumineers, dental implants or Zoom teeth whitening make sure you can show examples of your own cases. Take good digital photographs of each case so you can show other patients your work. Have photos of smiles on the walls to show the possibilities, have your before and after book on the waiting room table and much more.

Make sure your appointments run on time, no one likes to wait or has time to wait for that matter so ensure you've booked enough time to get the job done right.

Make sure your Barrie dentist website reflects the image you want and it is different from all the others out there.

Credentials and continuing education courses, make sure they can show you their own smile makeover cases NOT stock photography if they can't make sure they've taken lots of hands on courses because your smile is your best asset.  Ask for references, most dentists in Barrie that are doing right for their patients should be able to provide references.
