Dental patient experience is important not only for the patient but also for your practice.
When patients have a great experience, they look forward to their next appointment, are more likely to comply with oral health practices at home, and may even talk with friends about checking it out for themselves. All of these aspects can help build your reputation and grow your patient base.
Below are some tips to help make your patients’ experience engaging and memorable.
Your front desk is the first interaction of their experience, so make it a good one! Greet them with a smile and welcome them – be excited to see them. If there are any fun activities your office is conducting – a riddle solve, guessing game, etc. – let them know how they can participate.
Overall, make sure that when they walk in, they feel welcome and excited to be there.
As waiting areas continue to re-open, make sure to safely re-introduce engaging activities. These could be playing video content, games, a selfie station, etc. Find activities that they can enjoy and make the wait fly.
If your office has the resources, also try to reduce wait times, which not only is nice for the patient but also for anyone with them.
