Meta Ads for Dentists

What Meta ads do for a dental practice

Google Ads catch the patient who already searched "dentist near me." Meta ads catch the patient who hasn't thought about a dentist in two years but just saw your new patient special, your before-and-after cosmetic case, or your full-arch patient story while scrolling.

For general practices under $2M, Meta works best as the awareness and promotional layer on top of Google. Run one, results are okay. Run both, the cost per new patient drops as you stack channels.

How we run Meta ads for dentists

Local targeting that doesn't bleed budget

Strict geo-targeting around your practice radius, age and income filters where it matters, exclusion lists for current patients and employees. We do not spend money on cities you don't serve.

Lead-gen forms and direct-to-website funnels

For new-patient specials, we run lead-form ads that capture name, phone, and procedure interest inside Meta. For consultations (full-arch, cosmetic, Invisalign), we run direct-to-landing-page campaigns with online scheduling, because high-ticket consults need more context before the form fill.

Retargeting that doesn't waste reach

We retarget website visitors, video viewers, and lead-form openers, not everyone in a 10-mile radius. Frequency caps keep your existing patients from being shown the same ad 14 times a week.

Creative that looks like your practice

Real photos, real videos, real patient stories. The polished stock-photo ad loses to the iPhone clip of a patient saying thank you. We help you capture what's already happening in the office.

Frequently asked questions

Are Meta ads worth it for a general dental practice?

For most general dental practices under $2M, yes, but only when paired with Google Ads. Meta drives awareness and promotional conversions (new patient specials, cosmetic consults, full-arch consults). Google captures patients who already decided they need a dentist. The two channels compound.

What kind of Facebook and Instagram ads do you run for dentists?

New patient special offers, cosmetic consultation lead-gen, full-arch consult lead-gen, smile gallery / before-and-after creative, retargeting for people who visited the website, and patient-story video. We do not run vanity engagement campaigns or like-farming.

Do you build the ad creative?

We script and direct the ads. Video shoots are an optional add-on. For practices that already have phone footage or smile-gallery photos, we build creative from the existing assets.

What does a Meta ad budget look like for dental?

Meta usually runs leaner than Google: $750–$2,000/month in ad spend is typical for a single-location general practice. The retainer covers management.
