For a dental clinic to be considered successful, you must have a consistent flow of new patients that you can rely on. However, many clinics struggle to attract new patients due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Patients today, more than ever, are now more considerate of their health and wellbeing. They are cautious of visiting the dentist, and would often hold out until they experience severe pain, and this is mostly due to fear. Considering how most dentists come in close contact with patients, the Department of Health in the UAE has imposed certain regulations that are to be followed to ensure the health and safety of patients and team members are maintained.

Despite many dental clinics investing in protective safety protocols to keep patients safe, the fact remains that most patients are still left unaware. Many dental clinics do not take the time to communicate with patients and ensure they are educated on the safety protocols being established at their practice, as well as the importance of regular hygiene visits to prevent any severe complications that may occur due to neglect of oral hygiene.

Many dental business owners are unaware of how a well-designed dental marketing plan can aid in not only reactivating existing patients at the clinic but also help you attract more new patients into the practice.

In today’s digital-centric world, every dental clinic should have a strong digital marketing presence. Gone are the days when the only way you could get new patients was through word of mouth and mass marketing. In this digital-centric world, unless you have a comprehensive digital marketing strategy in place, patients will find it difficult to find you and then choose you.
