Having a strong social media presence has become more important than ever for your practice. This is because prospective patients use various social media outlets to validate dental practices and learn more about the doctor and staff. They check reviews and before and after pictures before they decide to book an appointment.
This is how important the validation process is these days when it comes to a dental practice’s social media such as Facebook and Instagram.
Where are my dental patients coming from?
As a dental practice, your website should be the first source of new patients. This is why dental websites should be built with one purpose in mind which is converting visitors to new patients.
Our highly converting dental websites are customized to help improve the user experience and turn more visitors into new patients.

We have been tracking the journey of dental patients to understand where they were coming from and what was important to them in terms of content and website features.
Eventually, we found out that over 50% of new dental patients come from Google or the internet as the primary source. And over 90% of patients will look the dentist up online even after they’ve received a referral from a friend.
We’re not saying that social media is as important as Google for driving new patients but it’s a supportive secondary platform where patients can validate a dental practice.
At the end of the day, you want to maximize your new patients, and to do this, you’re going to want to have a solid social media presence for your practice.
