    Why Dentists PPC Is Different

    The 3 things wasting your dentists ad budget right now

    Most dentists ad accounts we audit are bleeding 30–60% of spend on avoidable mistakes. Here's what we typically fix in the first 30 days.

    Spending Big on $79 Cleaning Leads That Never Upgrade

    Cleaning-special PPC fills the schedule with low-LTV patients who don't convert to implants, Invisalign, or cosmetic. We rebuild dental ad accounts around the case types that actually pay — and use cleaning offers strategically, not as the whole strategy.

    Losing High-Intent Searches to Corporate DSOs

    Aspen, Heartland, and Pacific Dental are spending $50K+/month per market on Google. Independent practices that don't run tight LSA, brand defense, and competitor-conquest campaigns are quietly losing ground every quarter.

    No Landing Pages for Implants, Invisalign, or Veneers

    Sending a $40 'dental implants near me' click to your homepage converts at 2%. Dedicated implant landing pages with before/afters, financing, free consultation offers, and same-week booking convert at 10–15%.

    Full-Funnel Dentists Paid Media

    Every paid channel that books dentists jobs — managed under one roof

    Google Ads alone leaves money on the table. We blend the channels that actually drive booked appointments for dentists businesses.

    Google Local Services Ads (LSA)

    Pay-per-lead placement at the very top of dental SERPs with Google Screened verification. Highest-ROI dental channel where available.

    Google Search Ads

    Service × city campaigns for implants, Invisalign, veneers, emergency dentist, sedation dentistry, and pediatric — bid by case value.

    Call-Only & Click-to-Call

    Mobile formats that drive booking calls directly to your front desk, with CallRail recording, scoring, and missed-call alerts.

    Performance Max & Display Retargeting

    Stay in front of patients researching implants and Invisalign over the 30–60 day decision cycle — across YouTube, Gmail, and Discover.

    Meta & Instagram Ads

    Cosmetic-heavy practices win on Meta with before/after creative, smile-makeover stories, financing offers, and lead-form ads for Invisalign and veneers.

    TikTok & YouTube Pre-Roll

    For ortho, cosmetic, and DSO-style practices targeting younger demos. Geo-fenced to your service radius only.

    Dentists PPC FAQ

    What dental practice owners ask before they spend a dollar

    What's a realistic cost per new patient for dental PPC?+

    It depends heavily on the case type. New-patient cleaning leads typically run $45–$120. Invisalign consults usually $80–$220. Dental implant consultations $120–$400. Full-arch / All-on-X cases can sustain CPLs of $400–$900 because the average case value justifies it. The right benchmark is a percentage of average new-patient lifetime value — for most general practices, 5–8%.

    Should dentists use Google Ads, Meta Ads, or both?+

    Both, weighted by service line. Google Ads (Search + LSA) wins for high-intent queries — 'dental implants near me,' 'emergency dentist,' 'Invisalign cost.' Meta and Instagram win for cosmetic, smile makeovers, and Invisalign because before/after creative converts better in feed than on a SERP. Practices that lean cosmetic typically run a 60/40 Google/Meta split; practices that lean general run 80/20.

    How fast will dental PPC produce booked appointments?+

    First booked appointments typically arrive within 48–96 hours of campaign launch. The first 30 days are spent removing wasted spend (insurance-only searchers, competitor employees, job seekers) and validating which service lines and creatives produce real chair time vs. price-shoppers. By month 3, blended cost per booked appointment usually drops 30–40%.

    Do you mark up ad spend?+

    No. Ad spend goes directly to Google, Meta, and Microsoft on your practice's accounts and card. We charge a transparent monthly management fee. With dental ad budgets typically running $3,500–$30,000/month, a 15% spend markup is real money — money that should stay with the practice.

    Will you exclude PPO-only patients and insurance shoppers?+

    Yes — to the degree Google allows. We use negative keywords, audience exclusions, and ad copy to filter out 'cheap dentist,' 'free dental,' 'Medicaid dentist,' and PPO-rate-shopping traffic when those aren't the patients you want. For fee-for-service and concierge practices this is critical and is one of the biggest wins we deliver in the first 60 days.

    Will you build the landing pages?+

    Yes. Sending $35 implant clicks to your generic homepage is the single biggest leak in most dental ad accounts. We build dedicated landing pages for implants, Invisalign, veneers, sedation, emergency, and new-patient offers — with before/afters, financing, free-consult CTAs, and click-to-call heroes engineered to convert 4–6× better than homepage traffic.
