ScoutBriefCompetitor Analysis for Dental Practices
Patients rarely switch dentists without a reason, so the reasons matter: price transparency, how fast they can get an appointment, and whether they trust the team. That is what your research should uncover about nearby practices.
What to compare
Check-ups, fillings, whitening, implants. Practices that show prices online attract people who are shopping around.
How soon a new patient can get an appointment, and whether emergencies are seen the same day.
General dentistry only, or orthodontics, implants and cosmetic work. Patients like fewer referrals elsewhere.
Team photos, reviews, before-and-after cases and clear explanations. Fear is the main barrier for many patients.
Gaps that often exist
- No practice nearby offers evening or Saturday appointments.
- Prices are hard to find, especially for bigger treatments like implants.
- Nobody speaks directly to nervous patients or to families with children.
Where customers look
- Google search and Maps reviews
- Facebook, especially local groups
- Referrals from existing patients
- Diaspora patients visiting in summer, where that's relevant
