Most dental marketing feels like trying to perform oral surgery with a butter knife. You might get the job done eventually, but not without a lot of unnecessary pain, questionable results, and some serious doubts about your life choices.
You didn't spend years perfecting restorative techniques, mastering implant procedures, and learning the fine art of keeping people calm while you drill holes in their teeth just to watch your appointment book sit there emptier than a patient's mouth after wisdom tooth extraction.
But week after week, dentists tell us the exact same horror stories:
-
Patients think all dentists are the same and shop purely on price.
-
Your expertise in cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, and comprehensive care gets buried under "teeth cleaning" stereotypes.
-
Insurance hassles drive away quality patients who need real treatment.
-
Your website looks like it was designed by someone who learned HTML from a Cracker Jack box.
-
Marketing agencies treat your practice like it's just another service business instead of a specialized healthcare operation.
The plain truth is that dentistry isn't some interchangeable service like getting your oil changed. It's healthcare built on years of training, surgical precision, and expertise that literally keeps people healthy—from their mouth to their heart.
Why settle for marketing that makes your practice sound like a chain store when it could position you as a master craftsman?
At Foster Consulting®, we help dentists tell the real story—the one that positions you as the trusted oral health expert who provides life-changing care, not just "checkups and cleanings."
Because your practice deserves marketing that makes people actually want to see the dentist.
Why Most Dental Marketing Makes Your Teeth Hurt
The problem isn't that people don't need dental care. Americans have more oral health issues than ever—from cosmetic concerns to complex restorative needs to emergency situations that require immediate expertise.
The problem is that most marketing treats dentistry like a necessary evil instead of the essential healthcare service it actually is.
Generic marketing agencies approach dental practices with the same tired strategies they've been recycling since the Clinton administration. They build cookie-cutter websites with stock photos of unnaturally perfect smiles, blast out discount offers that attract bargain hunters instead of quality patients, and wonder why your schedule fills up with people who complain about every fee.
That's not marketing strategy. That's dental malpractice for your business.
At Foster Consulting®, we understand that successful dental marketing requires deep knowledge of patient psychology, insurance dynamics, seasonal treatment patterns, and the delicate art of making people excited about something they've been taught to fear since childhood.

What Makes Our Dental Marketing Different?
We Understand Dental Anxiety (And How to Market Around It)
Dental patients aren't like other healthcare patients. They come with preexisting fears, insurance concerns, and a lifetime of avoiding treatment. We create marketing that builds trust before they ever set foot in your office.
We Know Your Treatment Mix
From preventive care to complex reconstructive cases, we understand how different services require different marketing approaches. We help you attract the right mix of patients for sustainable growth.
We Speak Dentistry
From periodontics to orthodontics to oral surgery, we understand your scope of practice well enough to create marketing that positions you as the expert clinician you are, not just "the tooth guy."
We Track What Actually Matters
We don't measure success with meaningless metrics like "website visitors" or "social media likes." We track new patient appointments, treatment acceptance rates, case value, and patient lifetime value—the numbers that actually pay your lab bills.
