What your practice gets
Cosmetic Patients Compare Smiles Before They Compare Dentists
A patient who wants veneers does not start with a dentist's name. They look at smiles. They search veneers near me, open the map listings with the most reviews, and then look for real before-and-after photos and what other patients said about the result. The practice that shows real cases, real reviews and a clear page for the treatment gets the consultation. The practice with a generic homepage and a services list does not.
Implant and Invisalign patients behave the same way, with price and recovery questions added. Our job is to make sure that whichever of those searches a patient starts with, your practice is the one they find, and the page they land on answers the question they had.
What Our Dental SEO Includes
Treatment pages in your own words
Veneers, dental implants, Invisalign, crowns, smile makeovers, whitening, emergency visits. Each one written from your answers, with your candidacy rules, your process and your pricing where you publish it.
Your Google Business Profile run every week
The right categories, services, photos from the practice, posts, review replies and disputes.
A smile gallery built from your real cases
Each case described and each photo named and tagged so search engines can read it.
A review program that never pays for reviews
The same honest ask after every visit and a reply to every review.
Citations and booking platforms that agree
Your name, address, phone and hours identical everywhere a patient can find them.
Pages AI tools can quote
Structured so the answer a patient gets when they ask for a dentist near them can name you.
How Patients Ask AI About a Dentist Near Them
Patients now ask AI tools the questions they used to ask a friend: who does good veneers near me, is this dentist right for a nervous patient, what should I ask before I agree to implants. The answers name practices, and they draw on three things: the practice's listing and reviews, the treatment pages on its website, and whether the information in both agrees. We run the same questions a patient would ask, read what the AI answers today, and write the sections your pages are missing, in plain language, so the next answer names you.
A Smile Gallery That Ranks: Real Cases, Real Photos
The gallery is the page that convinces a cosmetic patient to book, and it is usually the worst-built page on a dental site: a grid of unnamed images, heavy files, no text. We build it from your real cases, with written consent on file, each case with a short description of what was done, each image sized to load fast and named and tagged with the treatment and the location. No stock photos and no composite smiles from a supplier. A gallery built this way ranks for the treatment searches on its own and gives the AI tools something to cite.
How We Write Your Pages From Your Own Answers
We research what patients actually ask about each treatment and bring you a short set of questions: how you decide who is a candidate for veneers, what an implant visit looks like, how long Invisalign takes in your hands, what you tell a patient who is afraid of the drill. Your answers become the pages. Nothing is copied from another practice's site, because copied content does not rank and does not sound like you.
"Everything has to come from the business. You cannot take content that already exists, rewrite it, and hope that brings rankings."

Which Dental Practices This Is Built For
- Cosmetic dentists competing for veneer, smile makeover and whitening searches in a large city.
- Implant-focused practices where one treatment carries the business and the page has to answer cost, candidacy and recovery.
- Orthodontic practices and dentists offering Invisalign, where patients compare options for weeks before booking.
- General dentists with a cosmetic side who want the cosmetic work to grow without losing the family patients.
One Dental Practice per City
We take one dental practice per city. We will not build up the practice across town that you compete against for the same patients.
The Numbers You Will See Every Month
Calls, bookings and new patients from search and from the listing, with the previous year next to them. Where your treatment pages rank for the searches that matter, how often AI tools mention your practice, and what changed on the site and the listing that month. In our own work, a Manhattan cosmetic dental practice reached the third position for cosmetic dentist searches in its city and the second position for porcelain veneers, measured on the live results page, not on an average.
Questions Dentists Ask Us Before Signing
How long until the veneer and implant pages bring patients?
Search engines read a real treatment page within days. Rankings for competitive cosmetic terms move over weeks to months depending on the city and on how many reviews the practices above you have. We show you the trajectory monthly from the first month.
Do you need my before-and-after photos?
Yes, for the gallery and the listing, with your patients' written consent. If you have none yet, we start with the treatment pages and the listing and build the gallery as cases come in.
Who owns my website?
You do: the site, the content and the domain. If you leave, everything we built goes with you.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Month to month, one flat fee agreed upfront.
Will you work with another dentist in my area?
No. One dental practice per city.
Who will I be working with?
Artem Saribekyan, the founder. You deal with him directly from the first call, and there is no account manager between you and the work.
What does onboarding look like?
A first call where we look at where your practice shows up today for the treatments you want more of. Then access to your Google Business Profile and Search Console, a set of questions about your treatments, and the first pages within the first month.
