Neo Tee Khin: How to build a successful implant practice

Dr. Tee Khin reviews different communication channels available to the dental practice, including print marketing, newspapers and TV media, as well as online and social media activities. It is important to invest adequate resources into marketing activities, to know our market and our practice, and to evaluate weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and threats. Treatment plans must be tailored to the patient, which will in turn result in better patient care and satisfied patients. Dr Tee Khin emphasizes that treatment quality and predictability are key, and recommends evaluating each point of contact with the patient in order to improve each one significantly. Never compete on price, as there will always be someone trying to offer for less. Compete with quality and service. Dr Tee Khin concludes that, despite all marketing tools available, word of mouth is still the strongest and most efficient marketing strategy. It is a slower but more organic and solid way to grow.
