We analyzed 260 dental practices across 13 U.S. cities. The median has 670 Google reviews and a 4.82 star rating. 83% of patients use reviews to choose a dentist, yet most practices leave reviews unanswered for weeks. We keep your profile active so patients find you and book.
Dr. Chen was great with my kids. No tears for the first time ever!
Waited 35 minutes past my appointment. The cleaning was fine but the wait was frustrating.
Best dental experience I've had. Everyone was friendly and the office was spotless.
Front desk was rude and my insurance wasn't handled correctly. Very disappointed.

Same dentist, same patients. The only difference is every review gets a timely, thoughtful reply.
Most dental marketing advice starts with SEO, Google Ads, or social media. All of those cost $1,500 to $5,000 per month and take months to show results. Your Google Business Profile is free to own and directly controls whether you show up in the map pack when someone searches 'dentist near me.' Keeping it active with review responses, weekly posts, and fresh photos is the single highest-ROI marketing move a dental practice can make.
Most new patients now check Google before they ever call a dental office. Multiple industry surveys show that roughly 7 out of 10 people read online reviews before choosing a healthcare provider, and many say they feel more confident when the dentist replies to those reviews.
For dentistry, that decision is tied to fear and trust. Patients are worried about pain, cost, and whether your team will listen if something goes wrong. When they see unanswered complaints about wait times or billing, with no reply from the practice, it is easy to move on to the next dentist.
In our analysis of 3,844 Google Business Profiles across 13 U.S. cities, the median dentist business has 670 reviews at 4.82 stars. Active profiles with consistent responses typically see 2 to 3 times more customer actions, calls, direction requests, and website clicks, than profiles that have gone silent. Read the full report →
*Based on recent surveys of patient review behavior in healthcare and local search.
Spend 15 to 20 minutes connecting your Google Business Profile and answering a few questions about your practice, services, and tone.
On business days, our team monitors your reviews and sends real, human responses the same day, with most replies going out within 2 hours.
Once a month you receive a short summary of new reviews, response times, and how your overall rating is trending.
"I waited 30 minutes past my appointment."
We acknowledge the delay, confirm this is not your standard, and invite the patient to contact the office directly so you can follow up. No private details shared.
"The cleaning felt rushed and I was uncomfortable."
We respond with empathy, reinforce your commitment to gentle care, and suggest they reach out so your team can talk through what happened and how you can do better next time.
"I was surprised by my bill and no one explained it."
We keep the reply calm and factual, avoid clinical specifics, and direct the patient to your front desk or billing coordinator to review their statement in detail.
"Our front desk used to spend 20 minutes a day on review responses. Now they don't touch it and the responses are better than anything we wrote ourselves."

During setup, you share a few examples of how you talk to patients and any phrases you want us to use or avoid. We write your first few replies for approval and turn that into a simple tone guide. Every writer on your account follows that guide so responses sound like they came from your team.
Spend 15 to 20 minutes on setup once. After that, our team replies to every Google review for your practice the same business day for $200/month.
