When Someone's in Pain, They Call the First Dentist They Find. Make Sure That's You.
Emergency dental patients don't comparison shop. They don't spend days reading reviews. They're in pain right now and they need help immediately. They search on their phone, scan the results for 30 seconds, and call the first practice that looks open, available, and trustworthy.
This is the most direct-response form of dental marketing. Show up, communicate availability, make it easy to call, and you get the patient. Miss that moment and they call the next practice in line.
But here's the real value: emergency patients who have a positive experience become long-term patients. They needed a dentist in a crisis. Now they have one. 73% of emergency dental patients continue care with the practice that treated their emergency. One phone call can be worth $5,000+ in lifetime production.
Emergencies We Market
Capture Every Type of Emergency Search
Toothache & Pain Relief
"Emergency dentist near me" / "Toothache dentist open now"
The highest-volume emergency search. Patients are in pain and will call the first practice they find that's open and available. Speed of response is everything.
Broken / Chipped Teeth
"Broken tooth dentist" / "Chipped tooth repair near me"
Accidents happen without warning. Patients with broken teeth search urgently and need to see that you offer same-day repair with quality results.
Knocked-Out Teeth
"Knocked out tooth dentist" / "Avulsed tooth emergency"
Time-critical emergencies where patients need immediate care. Your marketing must communicate availability and urgency. Every minute counts for reimplantation success.
Lost Fillings & Crowns
"Lost filling dentist" / "Crown fell off emergency"
Common emergencies that feel urgent to patients even if not medically critical. Quick, reassuring messaging and easy booking convert these searches into same-day appointments.
Dental Abscess & Infection
"Dental abscess treatment" / "Tooth infection dentist"
Patients with infections search with urgency and fear. Your marketing needs to communicate both immediate availability and the seriousness of proper treatment.
After-Hours & Weekend Care
"Weekend dentist [city]" / "Saturday dentist near me"
Patients searching outside business hours are in immediate need. If you offer extended or weekend hours, this is a massive competitive advantage worth marketing aggressively.

FAQ
Emergency Dental Marketing Questions
How quickly can emergency dental marketing generate calls?
Emergency dental ads can generate calls within 24-48 hours of launch. These are always-on campaigns because emergencies happen unpredictably. The key is being there when the patient searches, which means consistent ad presence and strong local SEO rankings.
Is emergency dental marketing worth the cost per click?
Emergency dental keywords are expensive ($15-40 per click) but convert at much higher rates than general dental searches. Patients in pain don't comparison shop. They call the first practice that looks trustworthy and available. High CPC but high conversion = strong ROI.
How do we convert emergency patients into regular patients?
This is where the real value lives. We build post-visit follow-up sequences: thank-you messages, review requests, recall scheduling, and new patient welcome flows. A $200 emergency visit can become a $5,000+ lifetime patient value with the right follow-up system.
What if we don't offer after-hours or weekend care?
We can still capture after-hours searches with priority booking for the next available slot. Pages that say "Submit now for first-available emergency appointment" convert well even outside business hours. We also help practices evaluate whether adding limited weekend hours would be profitable based on search volume in their area.
