5 Awesome Brand-Boosting Dental Video Ideas

1. Getting To Know The Doctor(s)

Strong relationships with your patients develop through numerous small interactions. Videos can be a part of those interactions. Write down six or seven questions and have your doctor answer the questions on the video to help patients get to know him or her better.

Here are a few question ideas:

• “What do you like about being a dentist?”
• “What things do you you do when you aren’t fixing teeth?”
• “Which school did you go to?”
• “Tell us your favorite color/food/TV show/movie/vacation spot etc.?'”

Go the extra mile and create videos with each of your team members for a “weekly team member spotlight” post!

2. Patient Testimonial or Patient Smile Reveal

Telling your new and potential patients how great your dental practice doesn’t come close to the impact that a recommendation has. In today’s market, recommendations don’t just come from patient friends and family members. Your prospective dental patients trust the experiences they see other patients having with your practice online.

Think of a patient that you have an exceptional relationship with, and ask if they would consider providing a testimonial video for your dental practice. If you are revealing a new smile after braces, veneers, implants, etc. ask your patients if you can film their reaction to the care that you are your team gave them.

Testimonial videos are a powerful way to charm new patients and give them a taste of what their experience will be in your practice. Don’t forget to get a signed consent form (download free HIPAA consent form here!) if a patient appears in a dental office video.

It’s important to recognize that your patients, fans, and team members are your practice’s greatest marketing assets. Dental practice video marketing does not need to be professionally done or even scripted. Capturing genuine moments like a smile reveal shows your potential patients what you’re all about: your patients. That is your greatest marketing power.

3. Take A Practice Tour

Take your fans on a tour of your dental practice! A video tour can help prompt new patients to choose you over the competition in your area. The more familiar your followers become with various aspects of your practice, the more likely they are to call for an appointment.

Some of the most successful dental marketing videos have been simple office tours. Make sure to show off any unique features of your practice in your dental marketing video. If you show potential patients that the experience in your practice is different than any other dental practice, they will be more interested in your practice.

4. Have fun with patients and your team

“If you’re having fun creating and sharing content, you can bet your fans are also having fun following and interacting with you on social media! The growth difference between practices enthusiastically participating in social media together and those who aren’t is like night and day.

Involve your whole team, especially those who think they’re ‘too old for this.’ Get creative. Don’t be afraid to show your lighthearted side.” – How to Create Social Media Content That Grows Your Dental Practice Ebook.

Undoubtedly, having fun with your patients not only strengthens the relationship with that patient but allows you to show potential patients that you care about people, not teeth.

5. Highlight a service
