Welcome

You’re not like every other dentist. So why should your marketing be?

It’s time to break free from the generic, cookie-cutter marketing that every other dentist in your area is using. It’s time for you to stand apart!

The business of dentistry is changing at a faster rate, and in a broader scope than ever before. Change brings growth opportunity! And the opportunities for today’s dentists who understand the importance of top-tier marketing to drive practice growth are simply unlimited.

I work with private practice dentists and privately owned group practices who are serious and excited about growth. Regardless of your practice’s size, if you are an owner and you’re truly committed to growth, then I’m here to help you achieve that growth through more effective marketing.

My mission is to help you grow your practice, achieve greater financial success, and gain peace of mind. So that you can focus on your patients, your practice, and getting home in time for dinner with your loved ones.

Surely, you’d rather be doing that, than worrying about the fine details of your marketing. Trying to determine if you’re focused on the right initiatives, paying too much to service providers who are failing to deliver results, or invested at the right level for the growth you desire.

I serve an exclusive group of clients by designing and executing a winning marketing strategy that ensures you are getting the maximum return on investment and necessary growth levels to achieve your professional goals. And I do that, so that you don’t have to. And that allows you to focus on what really matters in your practice….and in your life!

A Different Approach
Kent Sears, MBA – Marketing & Practice Growth Consultant
When I entered this industry, I set out to offer a different type of marketing service. One that clearly stands apart from the traditional marketing agency model, and all the negatives that come along with it. One that provides unique and differentiated value. From that goal, I’ve aligned my business model and my services around five core principles:

Custom Solutions

I realize that every practice is unique. And what it takes to make each practice successful is different. I don’t use generic, cookie-cutter approaches like traditional marketing agencies. The marketing strategies and systems that I put into place, within each practice, are always unique and custom designed for your specific situation.

Results. Not Products.

I am not in the business of selling marketing ‘products’ or ‘packages’ like a traditional marketing agency. I have no financial incentive to persuade you to pay for yet another new website, or to spend thousands of dollars more per month on digital advertising. My only objective is to design and implement the optimal marketing plan that will deliver the growth results we set out to achieve.

Direct Access

You will always work with me. 100% of the time. No exceptions. Unlike traditional marketing agencies, you won’t be passed off to some recent college graduate with no real-world experience as soon as our work begins. I propose, design, execute, and ensure the success of every single engagement I take on. My expertise and my work are what you get….all of the time.

Flexibility

Dental marketing is an industry plagued with long-term contracts and no guarantees of performance. I don’t believe in long-term contracts. Period. I earn the right to work with my clients month after month after month.

Aligned Incentives

Achievement of your growth goals is all that matters to me. And my engagements are structured as such. Traditional marketing agencies profit from selling you more and more products and services (often times outsourced) without any guarantee of results. I only benefit if you benefit. My engagements are truly partnerships. And our incentives are always 100% aligned.

Success Stories

Below are a few examples of the successful results recent clients have had in partnering with me. Please know that every practice, every situation and every engagement is unique. I’ll always be up front and honest with you in telling you what we can expect in terms of results if we partner together.

Dr. Larry Dougherty

Dr. Dougherty and Rolling Oaks Dental share a common storyline with many fee-for-service practices when it comes to the struggles they’ve encountered in marketing and new patient growth.

Dr. Gloria Roberts and Dr. Mina Sung

Grace Dental, like many other practices, had traditionally relied on word-of-mouth referrals for all of their new patient growth. However, as the industry continued its dramatic shift over the last several years, word-of-mouth alone was no longer sufficient. The office then attempted multiple postcard advertising campaigns.

Dr. Haissam Dahan

Dr. Dahan is a general dentist with an exclusive focus in TMJ & Sleep Apnea Management. His credentials are simply outstanding and he is a leading expert in his field of care.

Dr. Timothy Shen

Dr. Shen and Trinity Family Dentistry is a prime example of why I got into this industry. Before we started working together, Dr. Shen had bounced around from marketing agency to marketing agency.

Dr. James Otten

In an industry where standards of care are being dictated more and more by insurance companies, Dr. James Otten set out to uphold the principles he believes in, and ensure a commitment to the highest levels of care for his patients.

Dr. Robert Ferrera

Over the past decade, the level of competition in Dr. Ferrera’s area of Tampa had drastically increased. A rising number of dentists moving into the market had made new patient attraction more and more difficult.

Dr. Ami Barakat

Dr. Barakat’s story is similar to many dentists out there who have grown frustrated over time with a lack of results from their marketing companies.

Dr. Jeremy Chin

As the owner of a specialty practice, Dr. Jeremy Chin was facing pressure from seemingly all sides.

Testimonials

Dr. Alan Stern

Ocean Township, NJ

Kent is a master marketer and analyst. He provides insight into dental marketing that we dentists simply have not been made aware of in our training and experience. His perspective is eye-opening.

Dr. Thomas Murphy

New Orleans, LA

Working with Kent has been a great decision for me and it will be for you too! I’ve worked with quite a few famous marketing groups and they do not offer near the level of customization that Kent does. Use him!

Dr. Tony Watkins

Winfield, KS

Collaborating with Kent was a great experience. He used a focused, yet flexible approach that suited my needs. I would recommend his services without hesitation!

Dr. Orrin Mackey

Dr. Orrin Mackey

Cottonwood, AZ

Kent presents a clear method to guide you in a marketing plan designed specifically for your practice. It is an invaluable education for the new and experienced practice owner

My Why
I’m not originally from the dental industry, and that’s a good thing, because my background in business consulting and marketing strategy allows be to bring a unique perspective and an entirely different approach, with fresh insights, to help dentists grow their business.

I’ve worked around the globe, both in private and public sector, across a multitude of industries, consulting to several successful organizations, and driving marketing strategy directly for leading companies like Microsoft and T-Mobile. But, making huge, multi-billion-dollar companies even bigger isn’t actually all that rewarding. And life’s short. Far too short to not be doing what you love. So, I left the corporate world, joined my wife in her mission to transform the dental industry, and now I help private practice dentists realize their full business potential through more effective marketing, so they will survive and thrive in this increasingly competitive marketplace. And that is something I am truly excited about doing!

In my personal life, my two passions are exploring the world and being with my adorable family.…luckily they travel well! Some of our most memorable moments are right here in these pictures. This is me getting to live my dream life! My professional goal is to support others in living their dream life as well!
