#99: Back from the Dental Dead: Reviving Lost Patients

Ever feel like your schedule has more holes than Swiss cheese? You're not alone. 

In this episode, Mark dives into one of the most overlooked growth strategies for dental practices: patient reactivation.

Turns out, you don’t need more leads. You simply need to reconnect with the ones you already have. You know... the patients who came in once, loved you, and then vanished into the land of expired insurance cards and unanswered appointment reminders.

Mark walks you through a simple, proven approach to re-engaging past patients without sounding desperate, pushy, or like you're hosting a telethon.

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why most practices are sitting on a goldmine of inactive patients
• How reactivation campaigns often outperform new patient campaigns
• Why patients go MIA (and how it’s not always your fault)
• What to say (and what NOT to say) in texts, emails, and calls
• How reactivated patients can boost reviews, referrals, and revenue

💥 Bonus: We’ve created a free downloadable checklist to help you put this strategy into action today.

Final Word:

Reactivating past patients doesn’t require new ads, a bigger budget, or a TikTok dance. It just takes intention, a system, and a sprinkle of follow-up magic.
