Dental marketing that fills your appointment book

Dental marketing for Australian practices that want a fuller appointment book, written to AHPRA’s advertising rules.

Partnership plans from $4,500 + GST a month

For dental practices

Dental marketing that keeps your chairs booked

Rock Solid Marketing runs dental marketing for practices across Australia, from regional clinics to busy suburban surgeries. You get one team for your website, search, ads, email and social media, and one account manager who knows the rules dentists advertise under.

Your diary probably tells the story already: a strong recall month, then gaps on a Tuesday afternoon and hygiene appointments nobody rebooked. New patients search for a dentist on their phone and choose from the first few practices they see. We build your marketing around those two jobs: bringing new patients in and bringing existing ones back.

Partnership plans start from $4,500 + GST a month, and every practice starts with a free 30-minute discovery call.

Common problems

What gets in the way, and how we fix it

  1. We can’t use patient testimonials in our advertising, so we’re not sure what to say.

    What we do

    We build trust with what AHPRA allows: clear treatment explanations, your team’s qualifications and real photos of the practice. Patients can still review you on Google; we just don’t copy those reviews into your ads.

  2. Recall patients drift away and the hygiene book has holes in it.

    What we do

    We set up recall and reactivation emails timed to each patient’s check-up cycle, sent only to patients who agreed, with the unsubscribe link the Spam Act 2003 requires.

  3. New patients book with whichever practice shows up first on Google Maps.

    What we do

    We tidy your Google Business Profile, build a page for each treatment you want to grow and run search ads for the treatments with room in the diary.

  4. Ads for whitening or implants bring price shoppers who don’t book.

    What we do

    We write ads that state what’s included and any conditions, and send each one to a page for that treatment. Calls and bookings are tracked, so the budget moves to what works.

What we do for dentists

Digital marketing for dentists, run by one team

Dental internet marketing works when each part has one job: more of the right patients booking the treatments you want to grow.

Found in local searches

Your Google Business Profile, treatment pages and site structure are set up so patients nearby find you when they search, with your SEO reviewed every month.

Search ads for open chairs

Google Ads campaigns for the treatments with room in your diary, paused when you’re booked out, with call and booking tracking so you see what each dollar returns.

Recall and reactivation emails

Check-up reminders, hygiene campaigns and seasonal notes that bring lapsed patients back, sent only to patients who agreed to hear from you.

Treatment explainers

Plain-English pages and posts on implants, crowns, aligners and children’s dentistry, so nervous patients understand their options and costs before they call.

Copy checked against AHPRA

Every ad, page and post follows AHPRA’s advertising guidelines: no testimonials about clinical care, no promised results and clear terms on any offer. You approve it all before it runs.

A report you can read

A monthly meeting by phone or visit, and a HubSpot dashboard showing new-patient enquiries, calls and bookings by channel, readable in five minutes.

Who it’s for

Is it the right fit?

Who it’s for

  • General practices with gaps in the hygiene and recall book
  • New practices that need a patient base from day one
  • Multi-chair and multi-site groups wanting one plan for every location
  • Practices adding implants, orthodontics or sleep dentistry
  • Practice managers who want one dental marketing company instead of four suppliers

Not a fit

  • Practices that want patient testimonials in their ads (AHPRA doesn’t allow it)
  • Clinics booked out for months with no chairs to fill
  • Anyone after a single boosted post rather than a monthly plan

How it starts

Dental marketing services that start with your diary

We start with your appointment book, not a channel. Before any campaign runs, we look at the treatments you want more of and where your gaps fall. We also check how many patients are overdue for recall and how new patients find you today.

Then you get a practical marketing roadmap: which channels we’ll use, what we’ll write, what you approve and what we’ll report. If a Google Business Profile tidy-up and a recall campaign will do more for you than a full partnership, we’ll tell you before we quote.

  • Treatments to grow and the gaps in your diary
  • Your Google Business Profile and website, checked
  • Recall list size and how reminders go out now
  • Practices near you and what they offer
  • Messages that need an AHPRA check before they run

Fill the diary first. Then grow the treatments you want.

All FAQs

Working with Rock Solid Marketing starts at $4,500 + GST a month on the Starter partnership plan, which gives you 28 hours of work. Standard is $5,500 + GST a month for 35 hours, and Advanced is $7,500 + GST a month for 45 hours. Google or Meta ad spend is paid to the platform on top. A single-location practice can start on Starter and move up when it adds chairs or treatments.

The biggest marketing pain points for dentists are empty recall slots, lost new patients and AHPRA’s limits on testimonials. New patients often choose the first practice they see on Google Maps, and price shoppers ring about whitening or implants without booking. Posting every week also takes time a busy practice doesn’t have. We work on all of them in one plan, starting with whichever costs you the most chair time.

Good marketing ideas for dentists start with your existing patients: recall reminders, school holiday check-ups for families and a tidy Google Business Profile. Then add treatment pages that answer cost and comfort questions, short videos introducing your team, and search ads for the treatments with free chairs. Keep any offer’s terms clear, as AHPRA requires, and skip anything that reads like a testimonial.

Improve email marketing for dentists by sending fewer, more useful emails to patients who agreed to hear from you. Time recall reminders to each patient’s check-up date, split your list into families, adults and lapsed patients, and give every email one clear button to book. Under the Spam Act 2003, each email needs your practice’s name and an unsubscribe link. We set this up and report bookings monthly.

Yes. We handle dental marketing in Australia wherever your practice is, from our office in Mildura. Most of the work runs by video call, phone and email, and your account manager meets you monthly by phone or in person when you’re within reach. Our specialists are based in Mildura, Sydney, the Gold Coast and other parts of the country, so someone usually shares your time zone.

No. AHPRA’s advertising guidelines don’t allow testimonials about clinical care in a registered practitioner’s advertising, and that includes reviews copied onto your website or into ads. Patients can still leave reviews on Google, and you can reply politely without discussing their care. We build trust another way: your team’s qualifications, clear treatment information and an honest picture of what each visit involves.

It depends on the channel: recall emails and search ads work fastest, while SEO builds over months. Online marketing for dentists works at different speeds because each channel reaches a different patient. Recall emails reach people who already know you, and search ads reach people looking today. We set targets in the first meeting and show progress in the monthly report, so you can move budget to what’s working.

No. Our partnership plans have no lock-in contracts, so you stay because the work is paying off, not because of a term. Your account manager reviews the plan with you each month and changes the hours or channels when your practice changes. The website content, ad accounts and patient list we work with stay yours throughout.
