Orem, Utah · Dental Marketing Director

I ran marketing inside a $3M+ implant practice. Now I help practices everywhere get more implant patients.

From 2020 to 2024 I was Director of Marketing at Trust Implants in Newport Beach, and in 2024 I founded Streamline Dental Marketing to bring that same playbook to private practices.

Four years inside an implant practice

I wasn't an outside agency. I was the person responsible for filling the schedule at Trust Implants.

Every week Dr. John Willardsen and I went live to talk implants, answer the questions patients ask before a big procedure, and walk through real cases. People watched for months, then booked, and many traveled to Newport Beach from across the country. The practice also had an exclusive partnership with Nobel Biocare, which gave me a view of implant growth from the industry side too.

Views only matter if patients can say yes. Here's what happened to patient financing once the marketing went digital.

TV couldn't tell us which commercial worked. These campaigns show the cost of every click and every lead.

My story

One practice bet everything on TV. I moved it to digital, then turned four years of results into a company.

Before 2020

A TV-only practice spending $30K a month

Trust Implants ran long-form commercials across Southern California and did $3M to $4M a year with one doctor. It worked, but nobody could say which commercial, network, or message brought a patient in.

End of 2019

Dr. Willardsen asks me to fix the online presence

He heard about my work growing Instagram brands and asked me to take over Google and social. What he wanted was control: marketing we could measure, retarget, and understand.

2020

Director of Marketing, full time

I built an in-house team and moved the practice from TV to digital: Facebook and Instagram ads, Google Ads, YouTube, and an Instagram account that grew to 66K followers.

2020 to 2024

The channel takes off

37.4K subscribers, 523 videos, 10.8M views, and weekly live streams that brought in about one full mouth reconstruction patient a month from all over the country.

Nobel Biocare

An exclusive implant partnership

The practice partnered exclusively with Nobel Biocare, which showed me how implant growth works from the industry side, not just inside one office.

July 2024

Losing a mentor, and starting Streamline

Dr. Willardsen passed away and his family closed the practice. That summer I founded Streamline Dental Marketing, and practices that knew the work signed on right away: True Dentistry, Prosthodontics and Implants of Laguna Hills, Malmquist Oral Surgery, and Fashion Isle Smiles.

Today

A cost calculator that ranks #1

"Dental implants cost" is the top implant search in the US, so I built a calculator that answers it honestly. It ranks #1 on Google and is cited in the AI Overview for "cost of dental implants Laguna Hills," and it has brought in 50+ qualified leads.
