What Makes the Internet Dental Alliance Different?

"Having been with IDA for the past 7 years, I know my website consistently and predictably provides my practice with the types of patient cases I like best - profitable ones! My results have been so positive, that recently I decided to add two more website campaigns to my current IDA Marketing program. Results have been great; I should have added more campaigns earlier! Just last week, we finished production and collection on a $17,500 Sedation/Cosmetics case. Without my internet presence, this patient never would have found our practice!"

- Alex Tavitian, D.D.S., Burbank, CA

There are four very important things that make IDA different from any other web design and site hosting company:

1. Focus - We work exclusively with dentists. We are not some ad hoc branch of a larger general website company looking to fill in a few design hours with a quick-and-dirty site for a local dentist.

2. Experience - We have over 50 years of combined clinical and management experience in dentistry. Our email communications programs, 1stDDS.com Dental Information Portals and local practice websites are designed by both graphic artists and experts in the fields of dental marketing and management. They mesh with how your practice really works and make it extremely easy to integrate new patient inquiries into your everyday office procedures.

3. Best practices - We act as a true Alliance that shares the best information, strategies and tactics among non-competing practices. With well over 1,000 IDA members in North America, we see what’s working and what’s not. We can then take the best and most innovative strategies and integrate them into your site’s design and marketing.

4. Strategy - IDA uses a unique, totally integrated and synergistic marketing strategy to generate high-value new patient leads, convert those leads to appointments, and then keep those patients in your practice to generate more new patient leads.

IDA is not another run of the mill dental website company. While IDA uses local practice website(s), they are only one part of a total Internet marketing and practice team training strategy…that only IDA can provide.

By giving each of its members an exclusive for a specific local practice web design (style and color) in their market, IDA can dramatically cut costs by re-marketing the basic structure to another non-competitive dentist. Further, each IDA local practice website is unique because of the multitude of options available along with customized copy and content.
