Focus on Differentiation in Your Dental Office Marketing
Last September, I decided to finally take a vacation, and headed off to fabulous Las Vegas.
Vegas is one of my favorite vacation spots because it seems as if no one there has a care in the world except what time they're going to the pool, and what casino they will attempt to win money in later.
As I walked up and down the strip (it seems like you walk more than anything in Vegas), I started to notice something very peculiar about my surroundings. All that seemed to be in Vegas were Hotels and Casinos. Nothing else. No matter what door we walked in, it was still a casino; same horrible carpet, same smoky air, same noisy slot machines that the last place had.
In fact, every place in Vegas was exactly the same business. Hotel and Casino, Hotel and Casino, Hotel and Casino...
So, what created the need to go to any one particular casino? Anywhere my wife and I went, it was just a casino, and we could gamble there the same way we could gamble anywhere else. So why did we trek up and down Las Vegas Boulevard going into each and every place we could? Because, every Hotel and Casino was different.
The Luxor has a pyramid; The Bellagio has the computerized fountains; Caesars has a great mythical theme; The Mirage has an erupting Volcano; Treasure Island has a sinking pirate ship and outdoor bar; and The Stratosphere has a space needle.
All these hotel/casinos, and not a single one of them was the same. Everything had its own UNIQUE way to get patrons in the door. The owner/marketing genius of these places realized that success as a casino relies on patronage, and without other attractions to set them apart from the crowd, they were just a casino. However, add a fountain show, or a pirate ship that sinks, and you get people in the door that, in turn, bring their money.
As applied to your dental practice, how does it compare?
Drive around your city and look at the other dental practices. Same buildings, chairs, and carpet as yours. Those other dentists most likely have the same credentials, as well.
Do you have a run-of-the-mill dental practice - same chairs, carpet, service, and pictures on the wall as the place down the street... Or have you created and promoted the kind of uniqueness that creates word-of-mouth, and curiosity by people, to help draw them into your office?
Look at your local tribal casino. A regular run-of-the-mill hotel and casino, that's all. This is like your dental practice. Successful, yes. But, has it reached it's full potential? No.
Now take Treasure Island in Vegas. Hotel and casino? Yes, it is. Successful? Yes... beyond all imagination. They have created an attraction that creates word-of-mouth (I'm telling you about it right now) and creates a need to go there to see the attraction, and probably spend some money. Do you need a pirate ship in your office? It wouldn't be a bad idea, no one else has one.
But you don't need one. You just need some simple changes and promotion to show how your dental practice really goes the extra mile to make your patients excited and pleased with you and your practice. Show the public some way you are different than the others, and it will attract them to your office like a magnet.
The computer controlled fountains aren't a bad idea either. Think of the crowds that would draw.

Dental exams in Air Force basic?
I am leaving July 1 and I cant wait to get down there. I am having a little anxiety regarding dental exams during in-process week. I have all four of my wisdom teeth and they are out and not impacted. Im 23 and have not had any issues with them so far but have been told that they will pull them regardless. Others have told me they wont bother because they don't have time if its not really an issue. I may have an cavity or two in them. Even the dentist at my air guard unit is not sure. I will have them pulled before basic if tri-care covers it. Would really appreciate any information from other airmen.
You usually won't have major dental work done in Basic unless it needed to keep you in a training status. Once you're assign to your first duty station and your unit adds you to their dental readiness program, anything you need to get done WILL get done.
