As an old businesswoman, I must tell you that "word of mouth" advertising is the very best kind of attraction you can possibly ever get!. Do an excellent job on your patients and try not to charge an arm and a leg for services!. Be honest and keep your appointments as near as possible!. If you do all these things, the patients will tell their friends and relatives and they will absolutely flock to your office!. Good luck to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Try local TV and radio ads!. Also, have some sort of discount for each patient's first visit!. That may attract more clients!. Another idea is to advertise your cosmetic services, like teeth whitening, if you offer any!. People tend to be more concerned with how they look and may get over their fear of the doctor/dentist for vanity reasons!. Good luck with your practice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I agree with the 'word of mouth' answer!.
Also, your staff should be welcoming and not stand-offish, and up to date on dental knowledge!. No one likes going to the dentist and his assistant/front desk person is a crab!.
Do quality work and don't be concerned with how many fillings/crowns/new patients you can see in a day!. Take the time with your patients so they're getting their money's worth!.
Get involved in the community!. Volunteer your time to those in need!.
Your name will get around, and you'll be booked ahead for weeks!

offer to have you and/or staff go to the local schools for education on oral care!. pass out free toothbrushes, and samples etc!. , of course, contact the local orthodontist in the are asking for referrals- it helps when you take the staff a nice treat, or send them a certificate for lunch!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
