Case Study: Nashville Dentistry Co.

See how this startup went from general services to a cosmetic-focused practice in three years!

About Nashville Dentistry Co.

Dr. Ashish Patel opened Nashville Dentistry Co. … Opens in a new window to Dr. Patel’s dental website… in the heart of Brentwood, TN. He envisioned his new business as a modern, cutting-edge practice to reflect his advanced skills and training. His goal was to have a cosmetic-focused dental practice but needed to start off with broad, bread-and-butter services to grow.  

Preview of the hassles Nashville Dentistry Co went through as a startup practice

The Challenge

Being a fresh, new dental practice, Dr. Patel had A LOT to deal with, including:

  • Needing an online presence (website, social media, Google My Business listings, etc.)
  • Dealing with the construction of his new office
  • Figuring out the logistics of running a business

Dr. Patel knew he needed to hit the ground running – and fast. He needed his new website to:

  • Reflect the same modern, sleek look of his office
  • Show off his expertise and the technology he’s invested in
  • Evoke trust and respect to anyone landing on his site

The Solution

Create a modern + friendly experience. Go big + bold with the design.

Telling a story through videos + photography.
  • Stock photos are old school (and lame!). People spot them instantly.

  • Dr. Patel knew this and invested in a professional videographer and photographer.

  • We created an interactive video hero area, giving users a virtual tour of the office. 

  • The virtual tour continued with his custom photos peppered throughout the site.

Going bold with the design (just like the doc).
  • Dr. Patel didn’t want his website a boring, templated design.

  • His office is clean, sleek with the best dental technologies available. He wanted his website the same way.
  • Keeping the website fresh and clean, we used white space and bright greens to grab people’s attention right away.

  • Created custom borders and overlays to match the office’s architecture and aesthetics.
Convenience from the website to the office.
  • People are busy. And, they have many barriers of visiting dentists – avoiding them altogether.

  • Dr. Patel breaks down those patient barriers with valet parking, modern technology, early and evening hours, and TVs in the ceilings.

  • He kept it going online by allowing people to schedule their appointments online, offering virtual consultations, and offering New Patient Specials.

  • From the office to the virtual experience, his website features all of his conveniences. We show his office décor through photos, placed large calls to action to book online, created a dedicated dental virtual consultation page, and stated his New Patient Specials throughout the site.

  • Placed multiple trust factors with testimonials and “Top Dentist” awards as his practice grew.
