Transforming Dental Practices Worldwide
Our Origin Story
NextDentist was born from necessity, not opportunity. In 2018, Dr. Megha Vyas Trivedi, then practicing as Head Cosmetic Surgeon at Esthetica Hospital in Vadodara, faced the same challenge that haunts thousands of dental professionals worldwide: how to attract quality patients in an increasingly digital world while maintaining clinical excellence.
After spending over ₹2 lakh on ineffective generic marketing agencies that delivered empty promises and wasted budgets, Dr. Vyas made a pivotal decision. She would master digital marketing herself, combining her clinical understanding as an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with proven marketing strategies.
The breakthrough came within 6 months. Her practice at Esthetica Hospital saw a 300% increase in high-value treatment inquiries, with patient acquisition costs dropping by 60%. More importantly, the quality of patients improved dramatically—attracting individuals seeking comprehensive care rather than bargain hunters.
Word spread quickly through the dental community. Colleagues began requesting her expertise, leading to the formal establishment of NextDentist as a specialized dental marketing consultancy in late 2018.
1The Problem Phase (2010-2018)
Like most dental professionals, Dr. Vyas struggled with inconsistent patient flow, dependency on referrals, and the inability to attract patients for high-value treatments like maxillofacial surgery and hair restoration. Traditional marketing yielded poor ROI and attracted price-sensitive patients.
2The Learning Phase (2018-2019)
Determined to solve her practice's challenges at Esthetica Hospital, Dr. Vyas invested in understanding digital marketing from a healthcare perspective. She completed certifications, tested strategies, and developed systems specifically for dental and maxillofacial surgery practices.
3The Breakthrough (2019-Present)
Success led to demand. What began as personal necessity evolved into a mission to help dental professionals worldwide achieve sustainable practice growth through proven, dental-specific marketing strategies.
