The Best Form of Dental Marketing? A Great Patient Experience

 In dentistry , we have more marketing tools available to us than ever before. We can run digital ads. We can invest in social media. We can improve our websites, send emails, create videos, optimize our Google presence and spend money trying to reach new patients. All of those things can be valuable. But at LADD Dental Group , we believe there is one form of marketing that will always be more powerful than anything we can buy: A truly great patient experience. Because when a patient has an exceptional experience, something special happens—they tell someone else. And that referral means more than just acquiring another new patient. It means someone trusted us enough to recommend their family member, friend, coworker or neighbor. People Remember How You Made Them Feel Dental care can be intimidating for many people. Some patients have anxiety. Some have had negative experiences in the past. Others may have avoided the dentist for years because they were embarrassed, uncomfortable ...

What a 5%+ 10-Year Treasury Yield Means for the Dental Industry

 The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield recently moved back above the 5% threshold, reaching 5.1% in September 2026. While that may sound like a macroeconomic issue that belongs on Wall Street, it has very real implications for the dental industry. For dentists , practice owners, DSOs, dental real estate investors, and private equity firms, the cost of capital matters. And when the risk-free rate rises, the ripple effects can reach nearly every major financial decision in dentistry. The Cost of Money Matters The 10-year Treasury is one of the most important benchmarks in the financial markets. It influences the rates investors demand for other investments and helps establish the baseline for borrowing costs across the economy. When the Treasury yield rises, lenders generally require higher returns on loans and investments that carry more risk. That means a dental practice loan, equipment loan, commercial real estate loan, or acquisition financing may become more expensive—even if the dent...
