Overview
Patient Retention in Practice
New patients increases your dental practice income. Yet, if those new patients only come for one appointment, the benefit is negligible. On average, new patient acquisition is seven times more costly than retention. Patient retention is defined in the same way any flourishing relationship is: By having positive touch points. This assortment of touch points is the decisive factor in how probable any patient is to stick with your practice or leave for a competing practice.
But this doesn’t come effortlessly. In fact, patient retention requires strategized processes and an action plan. Allowing retention to come about on its own or by accident will allow patients to slip through the cracks and seek their dental care somewhere else.
