23 Jaw-Dropping Dental Branding & Logo Ideas

What makes your practice different from any other dentist in your city? 

The way you answer this question and communicate what makes you unique is incredibly important. Marketers call it “your brand,” and it’s a concept that’s vital for attracting and retaining patients.

The purpose of your brand is to clearly and consistently communicate the experience and services you provide — visually, textually, and in person. Without a brand, you risk being just another dental practice, lost in a sea of hundreds of other dentists. 

Today, we’re highlighting a collection of the best dental brands of 2020. Review these examples, see what these brands are doing right, and consider how your own practice branding holds up to the competition. Ask yourself — is my practice a brand?

And remember, patients are much more likely to choose a brand they connect with over a generic alternative.
