Dental implant marketing, paid per consultation that shows
A $3,000 to $30,000 case sold through a consultation. We run paid search, local SEO and a consult-booking system for implant and cosmetic practices in Sarasota and Manatee County, and bill on consultations that show.
Implants are the highest-value case in general dentistry, and the patient journey is long: research, a consultation, financing, then treatment. The leak is between the inquiry and the chair: consults booked online that never happen. Our engine is built to fill the consultation calendar with real candidates and to bill only when the patient is in the chair.
We run implant-specific search campaigns (single implant, full-arch, All-on-4, implant-supported dentures, cost), landing pages that answer cost, candidacy, timeline and financing, local SEO for implant and cosmetic queries across both counties, a HIPAA-conscious review program, a consult-booking flow with confirmation and reminders, and attribution in Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft or Weave on appointment status only.
A real engine we run for a client in this business type. Markets differ; the model is the same.
Where the demand is in Sarasota and Manatee County
Implant demand follows age and income. Sarasota, Venice, Nokomis, Longboat Key, Siesta Key and Lakewood Ranch have some of the oldest and most affluent populations in Florida, and the implant and full-arch market there is large and under-served relative to population in Bradenton and Palmetto. Cosmetic demand (veneers, whitening, smile makeovers) concentrates in Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch. Snowbird season fills consultations from November through April; many patients research from the north in the fall and book for the winter.

Who qualifies
Questions dental implants businesses ask us
We attribute on appointment status, not on health information, and we sign a BAA where one is needed. No clinical data leaves your system.
Typically $75 to $250 per consultation that showed, set by your case mix. A practice doing full-arch work sits at the higher end because each consultation is worth far more.
Yes. Veneers and smile-makeover consultations use the same billable event and the same system.
We put call tracking on first and listen to real calls. If the desk is the leak, we fix that before scaling spend, because the fee only works if consultations happen.
