Full-arch implant marketing works differently from general dentistry marketing. A single case is worth $20,000–$60,000, the decision cycle runs weeks to months, and most leads need several touches before they book. We build the whole path: high-intent Google Ads, a consult-focused landing page, sub-2-minute lead response, and a follow-up sequence that keeps the case alive until the patient sits down.
Most full-arch campaigns fail on the follow-up, not the ads. Practices generate inquiries, respond in hours instead of minutes, book a consult with no deposit or pre-frame, and then watch 60–80% of appointments no-show. The ad account gets blamed for a conversion problem downstream.
Run the arithmetic. If a campaign produces 40 inquiries in a month, and 30% are reachable within the day, and half of those book, and half of those show, you are sitting down 3 consults from 40 leads. The same 40 leads with a two-minute callback, a deposit-backed booking, and a reminder sequence routinely produce 8–12 seated consults. Nothing about the ad spend changed.
This is why we do not sell 'lead generation' for full arch. We build the acquisition system end to end and hold the number that matters: cost per seated consult, then cost per closed case.
In most US metros, full-arch keyword clicks run roughly $12–$40, a qualified inquiry lands around $150–$450, and a seated consult around $400–$1,200. At a typical 25–40% consult close rate on a $25,000+ case, that math works — but only when follow-up is tight.
| Metric | Typical range | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per click | $12–$40 | Metro competition, keyword intent, Quality Score |
| Cost per inquiry | $150–$450 | Landing page conversion rate, offer clarity |
| Cost per seated consult | $400–$1,200 | Speed-to-lead, deposits, reminder sequence |
| Consult-to-case close | 25%–40% | Treatment coordinator skill, financing options |
| Sensible monthly test budget | $4,000–$10,000 | One case usually pays for the month |
If you cannot commit at least $4,000/month in ad spend, or you cannot answer inbound calls within a few minutes during business hours, full-arch paid search will not work yet. We will tell you that on the audit call rather than take the engagement.
Plan on $4,000–$10,000 per month in ad spend in most US metros, plus management. At a $25,000+ case value and a 25–40% consult close rate, a single closed case typically covers the month.
Inquiries usually start within days of launch. Seated consults follow in 2–4 weeks, and closed cases in 4–10 weeks, because full-arch decisions involve financing and often a spouse.
Google Ads captures people already searching for the treatment and converts faster. Facebook and Instagram create demand among people who have not started searching and cost less per inquiry but need heavier follow-up. Most practices start with Google.
Practices that run the full system generally land between $1,500 and $4,000 in marketing cost per closed arch. Above that, the leak is almost always speed-to-lead or the consult conversion, not the ad account.
Yes. Sending full-arch ad traffic to a general dental homepage typically halves conversion. A single-offer page with financing answered up front is the highest-leverage change most practices can make.
No. We work month to month after the initial build period, because retention should come from results.
