How Much Do Dentists Spend on Advertising and Marketing

Range is $1000 per month to $10000 per month, depending on specialty and competition. 

The actual advertising budget for each dental practice varies. Some practices/dentists are very aggressive and spend $500 per day (or more) and some spend $1000 a month on advertising. We also have few practices/dentists who do not spend any money on online advertising, they doctors rely on referrals and very strong SEO rankings. This data refers to online advertising, not offline advertising spend. Also you have to understand that every practice area is different. If it’s a brand new practice, and they are just starting out, they will need to spend more $$ on the initial launch. If a practice is going through some issues (legal, business related, partnership related etc) they may pause or stop all advertising.  If you are in an area with low or medium competition area, and you have an excellent website with excellent SEO rankings, you may not need to spend any extra money on digital advertising.
