Dental tourism consultancy for clinics and dentists
From first idea to a steady flow of international patients. We help clinics, dental groups and dentists build a dental tourism service that works.
Who this is for
Clinics, dental groups and individual dentists who want to welcome patients from abroad, and destinations or institutions that want to develop dental tourism. We work between the UK and Türkiye, and we know both sides of the journey.
What dental tourism needs
Dental tourism is not only marketing. It is an operation, a brand, a sales process and a team, all working together. We set up the whole system, and we make the first stages work before the campaigns begin.
Five stages, in the right order
The first four stages build the foundation. Marketing then has something solid to work with, and the results can be measured.
- Design the operationDecide how patients will travel, be treated and be looked after, from the first enquiry to the follow-up.
- Position the brand and set pricesShape what you offer, who it is for and how it is priced, so that patients and agents can understand it quickly.
- Build the systemsSet up a CRM and the tools that track every enquiry, treatment plan and patient.
- Train and organise the teamHire and train sales and patient-coordination staff, and build relationships with the agencies that bring international patients.
- Start digital marketing and patient acquisitionLaunch the campaigns, test them continuously and improve them from real results.
What a clinic needs to be ready
Fast, friendly replies
International patients compare several clinics at once. Reply to every enquiry within minutes, ideally within five, with someone who knows the market.
A sales team that knows the patient
Sales staff who understand the culture of your target market, and ideally dental tourism too.
A clinic that is ready
At least one dentist available to answer quickly, clear treatment plans prepared fast, and smooth communication in the patient’s language, with interpreters where needed.
A coordinator and a CRM
At least one coordinator to run the process, preferably with foreign languages, and a CRM that supports the whole journey.
Marketing that is steady
Skilled digital marketing, quick graphic design, constant testing and a sustained budget. Plan for at least six months of continuous activity.
Time to build trust
A new destination or clinic starts by building awareness. Early spending produces data and recognition before it produces sales.
Work that can start in parallel
Some work does not have to wait. Partnerships and promotion with third-party organisations can begin from day one, and talks with agencies that bring international patients can run alongside the set-up. This shortens the time to results once marketing begins.
In the first stage, field work aimed at a specific community, such as festivals and fairs, can also help build early awareness.
