FAQ

Is benchmarking really that important for dental practice growth?

You bet it is. To reach your practice goals, you need to understand where you’ve been. You also need a roadmap to help guide you and your team to achieve future success. Just like athletes analyze the previous night’s game or large organizations reflect on the past year during AGMs, it’s critical to assess recent challenges and accomplishments, and determine which dental marketing tactics work and which ones don’t, to elevate future performance.

What’s a surefire way toincrease  dental patient visits?

Is your team consistently booking the next appointment before the patient walks out the door? Your team has a critical role to play in ensuring patients don’t leave without being scheduled in. Remember that a new patient is worth almost double the value of an existing patient. Based on Practice ZEBRA data, the average existing patient spends $1,000 per year while a new patient is worth $1,700.

Can I really increase practice production with direct mail? I’ve heard that print isn’t relevant.

That rumor couldn’t be further from the truth! We are constantly inundated with digital messaging (it’s still an important part of a comprehensive marketing strategy though). And this is even more reason as to why it works and creates a meaningful connection with patients and prospects. Studies prove its effectiveness. For example, the brand recall of direct mail is 70% higher than digital, and 56% of people are delighted to read their mail. It has worked for years and will continue to work in the future. With tech companies like Google using it to get new business, that really says something!

How important is it to communicate our vision and goals to the team for dental practice growth?

Dental practice leaders need to keep their key team members in the loop when it comes to their vision. Then, let them know what the expectations are and follow up regularly to ensure they are making it happen.

How do enterprise views in Practice ZEBRA help our group practices see increases in dental-patient visits?

In one central location, you’re able to generate a list of data on patients for each of your offices. This gives you a side-by-side comparison of everything related to patient production, annual patient value, and visits. You get the total number of visits for a particular period, as well as the scheduling rate. The data for the office that is performing the best is highlighted in turquoise while the bottom performer is red. This is convenient for owners or managers to quickly get a high-level view of where each practice stands as well as the organization as a whole. It’s also an excellent way to gauge if they are on track to meeting the fiscal year’s goals. ZEBRA also features figures for industry averages and the top 10% of practices, which makes it possible to know if one is in a leadership position or not.
