Dental copywriting

This is copywriting with bite.

Learn how to get patients to flock through your doors every single month. Even if they’re busy, nervous or scared. It all starts with persuasive copywriting.

Dental copywriting needs to be accurate and scientific, but also accessible and friendly. The right dental copywriter can help to connect with your audience, educate them, entertain them and encourage them to put their oral health first.

As a practice owner, you have to focus on patient care, but you’re also running a business. You don’t have the time to be writing your company blog or sending newsletters. 

This is where I come in. 

I can help with everything from refreshing your website content to sharing timely updates on social media.

“Dentistry offers an interesting challenge from a marketing perspective. On the surface, it doesn’t seem like an industry well-suited to likes and shares via social media. But if we delve deeper, we find that our patients are more than happy to share their dental experiences.”

Why should you hire a specialist dental copywriter?

If you had to get a tooth pulled, would you trust a car mechanic with a pair of pliers? Probably not. The same goes for your copywriting. You could trust any general copywriter to get the grammar right, but only someone with experience in the dental field will be able to make your copy sparkle.

Dental marketing is unique in that it covers so many demographics. Understanding how to build trust at every stage of the patient journey for so many different demographics doesn’t happen overnight. It takes years of learning about dental practices and what makes them tick.

Every dental practice is different, and I take the time to find out what makes yours unique. From understanding your most popular treatments, to exploring new avenues for growth, I put your dental practice at the heart of everything.

Top Reasons Your Dental Copywriting Isn’t Working

  1. You aren’t building trust. There are so many opportunities to build trust during the customer journey. Good copywriting can help you make the most of them.
  2. You try to speak to everyone at once. Taking the safe approach to dental copywriting is a great way to guarantee your audience tune out.
  3. You don’t know your audience. Sometimes, it’s as simple as not knowing who you are speaking to. By understanding your audience, your copywriting will have more impact.
  4. You’re too focused on sales. Yes, sales are important, but you should focus on giving your audience something of value before you go in for the sale.
  5. You’re not thinking local. You next patient lives around the corner, not across town. You need to think local in everything you do to grab their attention.
  6. You’re not using a call to action. This is the easiest way to shoot yourself in the foot. If you’ve captured their attention, give them an easy next step!
