Boosting Dental Implant Patient Numbers

Introduction

A newly established dental clinic in Melbourne aimed to position itself as the go-to provider for high-quality dental implants and cosmetic dentistry services. Recognizing the need to build credibility and trust within the local community, they partnered with Practice Boost to create an engaging video-focused Facebook Ads campaign. This strategy leveraged the expertise of the lead dentist, using compelling video content to attract and convert potential patients in need of dental implants.

Challenges

1. Establishing Trust as a New Clinic: Since the clinic was a new entrant in a competitive Melbourne market, they needed a strategy to establish credibility quickly.
2. Low Awareness of Expertise in Dental Implants: While the lead dentist had extensive experience in implant procedures, the clinic lacked public recognition as a specialized provider for cosmetic dental solutions.
3. Reaching the Right Audience: Traditional marketing efforts failed to effectively target individuals actively searching for dental implant solutions, resulting in inefficient lead generation.
4. Competitive Market: With several well-established cosmetic dentists in the area, the clinic needed a way to stand out and position itself as a trusted authority.

SolutionsPractice Boost crafted a highly targeted video ad strategy on Facebook to enhance engagement, educate potential patients, and build trust.

2. Targeted Facebook Ads Campaign:
   • Leveraged Facebook’s audience segmentation tools to target individuals within Melbourne who had shown interest in cosmetic dentistry and dental implants.
   • Created custom audience segments based on age, location, and online behavior to maximize reach to high-intent patients.
   • Designed separate ad sets for different audience demographics, ensuring personalized messaging for each group.
3. Compelling Ad Copy & Creative:
   • Developed persuasive ad copy emphasizing the life-changing impact of dental implants, improved oral health, and restored confidence.
   • Used strong calls-to-action (CTAs) such as "Book a Free Implant Consultation Today" to encourage immediate inquiries.
   • Implemented testimonial-based video ads where real patients shared their experiences and results.
4. Lead Generation Optimization:
   • Integrated Facebook lead forms to enable seamless appointment booking without leaving the platform.
   • Developed a dedicated landing page showcasing the lead dentist’s credentials, detailed implant procedure information, and patient testimonials to drive conversions.

   • Conducted A/B testing to determine the most engaging video formats and messages.
   • Optimized ad spend based on conversion data to ensure cost-efficient lead generation.

Project Results

2. Higher Patient Bookings: The clinic experienced a notable uptick in implant procedure appointments, leading to increased revenue and practice growth.
