Marketing Your Dentistry After It’s Completed
By Becky Vasquez

Several weeks ago BECDEN Client, Dr. Erik Bradley, sent me an email to show me a marketing idea his dental assistant, Megan Brewster, created. I was so impressed with the concept and design that I wanted to share it with others.

Megan thought that it would be very powerful to send patients this photo card upon completion of their dental treatment. It is designed to WOW the patient, brag about how talented their dentist is, motivate them to want more, similar treatment done, and possibly even be used by the patient to refer friends and family to Dr. Bradley.

As I showed this example to two different people their response was the same, “If I had other amalgam restorations in my mouth this would definitely motivate me to want to have them removed!” My suggestions to Megan included:
• Be sure to print this on good quality photo paper.

• Print an extra copy in black and white to keep in the patient’s file for marketing future treatments.

• Create and save dialogues for different types of cases (Smile Makeovers, Posterior Crowns, Whitening, Composites, Implants, etc) so you don’t need to re-think your wording each time. You will simply need to modify the text for each patient.
Kudos to Megan for the great idea and to Dr. Bradley for allowing me to share this with you.

For more information visit www.smilepix.com. For BECDEN clients whose patient accepts the treatment plan consisting of six or more units, BECDEN credits your account for the cost of the imaging for that patient. If you are not sure this will work for you, give it a try since the first image with SmilePix is complimentary!
