How to Get More Google Reviews for Your Dental Practice

A dental practice with 90 Google reviews and a 4.9 rating will almost always outrank and out-convert a practice with 20 reviews. When a new patient is choosing a dentist, reviews are the first thing they look at. Here's how to build your review count automatically.

Ask After Every Appointment

The best time to ask for a review is right after a positive appointment — the patient is happy and it's fresh in their mind. If you wait a week, the moment has passed. Send the request within hours of their visit.

Send a Direct Link

Don't tell patients to "find us on Google." Send a text with a direct link that opens the review form in one tap. The fewer steps, the more reviews you'll get.

Automate the Request

Your front desk is busy. Manual review requests get forgotten. An automated system sends a text to every patient after their appointment is marked complete — with a direct link to leave a review. Every patient gets asked, every time.

Filter Negative Feedback First

A smart review system asks the patient how their experience was before sending them to Google. Happy patients go to Google. Unhappy ones get sent to a private feedback form — giving you a chance to address the issue before it becomes a public 1-star review.
