We're adding video production as one of our services!

2010-04-19T04:01:00.001-07:00

Video content can be a great way for a dentist to attract and hold the attention of potential new patients. People who search for a dentist on the internet are seeking information that will help them make a decision. They are interested in getting a sense about a dentist from viewing his website. A video featuring a dentist can definately make a practice seem more real and can provide information that will help potential new patients make a decision to call a dental practice for an appointment.

Of course not all videos are the same and while a well produced video can send out a positive message, a poorly executed video might actually convey a negative message. It seems that the quality of the video andthe message it conveys is important.

Metro Dentist is now offering video production services to our dentist clients and is proud to anounce our partnership with Steve Cooney an experienced producer with a backround in producing video for television special projects. We have asked him to produce videos for our dentists to place on their websites. We offer a special welcome to him and are sure that his special video and television expertise will be a benefit to our Metrodentist members!

The Importance of a website for today's dentist

2010-03-21T05:32:00.000-07:00

Dentist's are expected to stay current and their patients tend to judge their 'up to dateness' via various tell tale signs. While having a clean and modern office certainly helps, probably the first thing today's patient is exposed to is internet content concerning your dental practice.

Not only is having a nice office website important, what is said about your practice is important as well. Testimonials and listings in local directories that feature dental practices is helpful in managing a dental practice's internet presence. Participation in Metro Dentist New York could be a positive statement about your practice.

Google has gone Local!

2010-02-14T08:11:00.000-08:00

Goolge search has gone local. More and more locally searched businesses have been appearing in non local terms. For example if you search the term "Dentist" on Google, you will likely find some dental terms that are taken from the Google search for "Dentist New York".

This means that if a business wants to promote itself on the internet it should promote itself locally first and for most. Establishing a local presence on the internet is important and easily done by registering and promoting your businesses in respected local directories. Google recognizes these directories as local authority sites.

Just a few of these 'local directories' are Yelp, Citysearch,Metrodentist.net, Yahoo Local and Google Maps. Metro Dentist New York is an example of a hyper local directory, just featuring local dentists from the new york metropolitan area. If you have a dental office In located in New York City or even any other municipality, you should make sure you should make sure you have your local internet listings in order and updated properly. Participating in hyperlocal New York directories can be especially helpful , since these only feature New York Area businesses. Metrodentist.net only feautures selected New York Area Dental Practices!

Dentist Tip of the Week

2009-09-08T13:04:00.000-07:00

Wrinkles and grey hairs are not the only tell tale signs of aging. As we age our teeth tend to get yellowish. Yellowed teeth can make a person look prematurely older. Teeth Whitening can make some one look years younger.

Also when someone smiles what is noticed is their smile.. Whitened teeth are the brightest thing in the visual field and tend to be the feature noticed first. Conversely, smiling faces are animated and energized and the visual effect of wrinkles is minimized. Smiling can make a person appear years younger!
