Without a solid dental lab marketing strategy, even the most skilled technicians risk falling behind. At DentalLabSupport, we help dental labs across the U.S. grow by solving the exact problem most lab owners never signed up for — marketing.


Here’s why most dental lab marketing fails, and how you can fix it to start bringing in new dentists and increasing your case volume.


The Problem: Dental Labs Were Never Built to Be Marketing Machines

Let’s be honest. Most dental labs started with a simple mission — to deliver quality restorations and serve their clients. Marketing was an afterthought. And now?

  • Dentists have more options than ever

  • Big-box labs and DSOs are eating up market share

  • Your competitors are already investing in dental lab marketing

That means if you’re not consistently visible, you’re invisible.


What Makes Dental Lab Marketing So Different?

Dental lab marketing isn’t like selling products on Amazon or running Facebook ads for restaurants. It requires:

  • Deep understanding of the dentist’s pain points

  • Precise targeting by specialty (GP, Oral Surgeon, Implantologist, etc.)

  • Compliance, industry knowledge, and trust-building over time


At DentalLabSupport, we don’t just run campaigns — we build systems that speak the language of the dentist. And we back it up with 25+ years of experience working exclusively in the dental lab industry.


Our Solution: A 360° Approach to Dental Lab Marketing

Here’s how we help labs across the U.S. grow consistently — even in competitive markets:


Consulting That Starts With Strategy

We don’t throw ads at the wall. We build a roadmap:

  • Who your ideal clients are

  • What offers convert them

  • What sets your lab apart


Cold Calling With Real Conversations

Our trained dental reps make real connections with dental offices. We don’t just “generate leads” — we spark interest, set appointments, and warm up real buying opportunities.


Email Campaigns That Actually Get Read

Dentists don’t read boring emails. That’s why we create custom email journeys packed with value — from turnaround time advantages to implant scanning workflows.


Sales Support That Closes the Loop

We don’t stop at “marketing.” We equip your team with call scripts, email templates, and follow-up systems to turn interest into long-term clients.


Software That Tracks It All

With LabCell CRM, we give you a powerful yet simple tool to manage your pipeline, trigger postcard mailers, follow-up emails, and monitor ROI from every campaign.


Real Results from Real Labs

Here’s what we’ve seen when labs take dental lab marketing seriously:

  • One lab in Oklahoma doubled its case volume in 90 days through targeted cold calling and postcard campaigns.

  • A lab in California landed 14 new dentists in 6 weeks using our email journey + follow-up call strategy.

  • A digital startup lab built a predictable monthly growth engine without relying on ads — using nothing but our CRM-triggered direct mail and email automations.


Stop Chasing. Start Attracting.

If your growth relies on waiting for referrals or hoping a dentist stumbles on your website, it’s time for a change.


Let DentalLabSupport be your growth partner. Whether you're a small boutique lab or scaling nationwide, our dental lab marketing system is built to bring you dentists — consistently.
