Course Description:

This online course qualifies for 1 hour of CE credit, which is automatically issued with a digital certificate upon completion.

Dental marketing is changing fast, and strategies that once worked are no longer effective. Patients are finding dentists in new ways—through AI search, “near me” results, online reviews, and short-form video. Practices that fail to adapt risk falling behind.

Presented by DOCS Education and Patrick McDonald, Head of Strategic Growth at RAMP Results, this program explores the five major trends shaping how dentists will attract patients in 2026. You’ll learn what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus to keep patient flow consistent.

Course Objectives:

  • Identify major marketing shifts impacting dentistry heading into 2026.
  • Increase visibility in local and AI-driven search results.
  • Use simple short-form video to build trust and attract more patients.
  • Strengthen online reviews and reputation to improve patient selection.
  • Run targeted paid advertising without wasting ad spend.
