While attracting new patients is vital for the growth of a dental practice, keeping them coming back is more crucial.

Easier said than done. According to American Dental Association (ADA), the average customer retention rate in the industry is only 41 percent. 

If your practice struggles in the area of patient retention, value-added offerings such as teeth whitening services can be a simple solution.

Package whitening services with other procedures.

A study found that many patients want to improve their dental aesthetics. In fact, 43 percent of patients are unhappy with their dental appearance.

Offer teeth whitening services at a reduced price to patients who undergo dental esthetic treatments. Patients might want to whiten their teeth before restorative work or after completing their clear aligner therapy.

Other findings from the study:

  • Twelve percent think their anterior teeth are protruding.
  • Thirty percent of patients are dismayed with the crowding of anterior teeth.
  • Seventeen percent have non-esthetic restorations.
  • Twenty-three percent of patients hide their teeth while smiling.
  • Fifty-one percent of patients are uncomfortable with the color of their teeth.
