Why Online Reviews Matter for Dental Practices
Scott N. McMeen
Besides providing excellent care and treatment, a dental office needs to establish a bond of trust with its patients. While word of mouth remains a factor in building the reputation of you and your dental team, in the digital age, online reviews of your practice can reach out to far more potential patients, and are therefore crucial in the trust-building process.



Website security is imperative to safeguard your dental practice’s online platform from cyber crooks and to build trust with your patients. Security has always figured prominently in e-commerce and financial websites but many other types of businesses are now looking to embrace added data protection methods as a standard feature.
For most businesses, including dental practices, a customer’s perception is initially shaped by online presence. Although the everyday reality exists within the walls of the dental practice, perception is often set before a patient steps in the door. This is significant because it can mean their experience in reality can be informed by their initial perception. Great perception resulting from digital marketing also translates to more customers for your practice.
