General dentistry
“Dentist near me” and “family dentist [city]” are high-volume, high-intent searches. Tight ad groups keep the clicks local and the appointments booked.
Google Ads for Dental & Orthodontics
Google Ads for dentists. More new patients, less wasted spend.
Dental practices fight over the same searches every day. I build and manage campaigns for dentists, orthodontists and specialists so your budget goes to patients ready to book, not people browsing.

Who I work with
Every type of dental patient searches differently
Cosmetic dentistry
Whitening, veneers and smile makeovers bring self-pay patients with higher lifetime value. The ads talk about the result, not the procedure.
Orthodontics
Invisalign and braces patients compare for weeks. Campaigns catch them early and close on “Invisalign consultation near me.”
Pediatric dentistry
Parents look for trust first: gentle care, a kid-friendly office and a short drive.
Dental implants
High value but price-sensitive. Free consultations and financing messages do the work.
Emergency dentistry
People in pain book right away. Call-only ads and after-hours coverage catch them first.
Industry insight
Why this industry needs a specialist
Crowded local auctions
In most cities 10–20 practices bid on the same terms, pushing “dentist near me” to $8–$25 a click. Tight geography and negatives keep budget from evaporating.
Insurance vs. self-pay
“Does the dentist take Delta Dental” and “cosmetic dentist no insurance” need different ads. I split them so each patient hears the right message.
Seasonal procedures
Cosmetic searches jump in January and before summer. Ortho consults peak May–July. Budgets move ahead of those windows.
Calls are the real conversion
Most patients book by phone. Call tracking from day one ties every dollar to a real inquiry.
The math
What is one new dental patient worth?
- New patient exam, X-rays and cleaning: about $350–$500
- Annual value with two visits and ongoing care: about $800–$1,200
- Lifetime value over 8–10 years: $6,000–$15,000+
- Cosmetic or implant add-on for 1 in 5 patients: $2,000–$8,000
Example math
At $35 per lead and a 30% booking rate, a new patient costs about $117 in ad spend. Over their lifetime that patient can be worth $6,000 or more, before referrals.
Your numbers depend on your market, your close rate and your budget. I'll run them with you on our call.

I was struggling with trying to market my electrical contracting business. So when I was using ChatGPT to help me with some questions about Google Ads, an ad popped up for Planet Marketing. I clicked the link and connected with Francisco. This has been a game changer for me!! He’s built me a professional website. Developed professional campaigns on both Google Ads and ChatGPT. Best of all I have received more QUALIFIED LEADS that I can easily convert! Highly recommend working with Francisco!!

I've been working with Francisco & Planet Marketing for over 15 years and across multiple companies. Initially it was a company where his expertise in elevating our Craigslist & eBay posts helped us corner a highly competitive market. The next few times we worked together it was for different SEO/SEM/PPC needs and each time he out produced expectations. He's constantly been at the forefront each time the marketing landscape changes and with the roll out of ChatGPT & Gemini, he's there helping me once again gobble up market share. I highly recommend Francisco & Planet Marketing!

Francisco is a rare find. On the one hand, he has 20 years of experience, on the other, he has his feet firmly planted in the future. My meeting with him today was highly, highly productive. He has the kind of knowledge where he can show you where the systems weak points are, and how to work around them, all while being budget conscious. I think what makes him tick is when he beats the entrenched companies at their own game. I look forward to a long business arrangement with him.

Francisco at Planet Marketing was fantastic to work with! He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. He took the time to thoroughly analyze my marketing needs and clearly explain his services and the entire process. He also provided pricing right away, which I really appreciated. I’m still at the beginning of my search for marketing services, but Francisco has already made an excellent impression. He clearly knows his business and genuinely cares about providing great customer service. I highly recommend Francisco and Planet Marketing for all your marketing needs!
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much should a dental practice spend on Google Ads?
It depends on your city and the procedures you want to grow. Emergency and implant campaigns can justify a higher cost per lead than cleanings. I'll give you a realistic starting budget on our call.
Can you promote specific procedures like implants or Invisalign?
Yes. Each high-value procedure gets its own campaign, ads and landing page so you can push budget where you want more patients.
