Social Media Marketing for Dentists

It’s late afternoon, and your waiting room has finally emptied. You sit back for a moment, open your phone, and scroll. As you do, you see another local dentist’s video or social media post racking up hundreds of likes, and you think to yourself, “Why aren’t we doing this?” That’s where we come in. At AMS Dental Marketing, we help dentists use social media not just to “stay active,” but to actually grow. We have over a decade of experience providing comprehensive social media marketing services to dentists across the country, and we’re here to put that experience to work for you. Contact us today so we can get started.

Why Social Media Matters for Dentists

Most people don’t flip through the phone book anymore. They scroll, they search, they compare. Social media is where those decisions begin.

When your practice shows up with a clear voice and a consistent presence, you build more than visibility; you build credibility. Patients begin to recognize your face, your staff, and your style of care. Over time, that recognition becomes comfort. Some of the various ways in which visibility can benefit your practice are as follows:

• It strengthens trust and loyalty among current patients
• It attracts new patients through authentic engagement
• It increases local visibility and brand awareness.
• It boosts SEO performance with location-tagged posts and content sharing

The Platforms That Matter Most

Different platforms connect with different audiences. We carefully craft your content to cater to where your patients already are.

• Facebook: Still the go-to for community engagement, reviews, and announcements.
• Instagram: Great for photos, short videos, and showing the personality behind your practice.
• TikTok: Ideal for quick, educational clips.
• LinkedIn: Perfect for sharing practice milestones, networking, and highlighting your expertise.
• YouTube: Home for your long-form video content, patient education, and search-optimized storytelling.

What We Post for Dentists

Social media thrives on variety, and patients respond to authenticity. For this reason, our content mix often includes the following:

• Oral health education
• Patient testimonials
• Behind-the-scenes glimpses of your team and technology
• Community involvement, events, and charitable work
• FAQs turned into approachable posts or short videos
• Limited-time promotions or special offers, if applicable

Paid Social Media Advertising

Organic reach is powerful, but targeted advertising turns attention into appointments. We create ad campaigns designed to attract high-value patients (people in your area searching for cosmetic, implant, or family dental care). Using precise demographic and geographic targeting, we help you reach the right audience at the right moment. With this, you’ll see measurable results in engagement, conversions, and new patient inquiries.
