You might not have thought social media marketing for dentists was something you even needed to think about. Perhaps you know how important it is but just can’t keep up with the 24/7 attention that social media requires. Maybe you think you have your bases covered with Facebook, but are you working on Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Pinterest, and Threads as well? Unless you have a dedicated social media manager in-house, it’s just not something that you can pawn off on your busy office manager to handle and expect to see great results.
Is Social Media Marketing Necessary for Dentists?
Great question — the answer is absolutely! We already know how important internet marketing is for medical professionals, and dental practices are among the best candidates in the medical industry for social media success. Everyone needs to go to the dentist at some point in their lives and most are visiting once or twice a year for routine cleanings.
This makes dentistry unlike other medical practices when it comes to patients choosing where to go. People will go the extra mile to make sure their dental practice is one that has a warm, inviting office & staff and comes highly-recommended by other people. The best way to show this to potential patients? You guessed it — social media!
On top of that, if you want to get new patients for your dental practice, you probably want people finding you on search engines like Google, right? Well, you better make sure search engine optimization (SEO) is something you’re doing on your website, and no SEO campaign is complete without social media. You can be sure when we do SEO for dentists, it includes complete social media marketing and management for your practice.
What Social Media Platforms are Good For Dentists?
If you have the time and budget, almost any social platform can be a good fit for your dental practice. Without a doubt, Facebook is the first platform you need to get started with on your journey to social success. Followed shortly behind is Instagram & TikTok. If done correctly, these platforms are great to give patients a personal, inside-look into your office, staff and dental work.
For the dental clinics that really want to push the bounds and develop a brand for themselves, TikTok, Instagram & Snapchat are amazing platforms to reach the younger generation who are prime candidates for many dental procedures such as braces, teeth whitening and wisdom teeth extractions. There’s no better way to stand apart from the crowd and create a personal relationship with patients in a fun, non traditional way.
