How to make your dental practice stand out: 3 inspiring examples

If you want your dental practice to stand out, you need to do something different. Check out these three incredible examples of practices that went beyond the typical approach and made a lasting impact.

The Dental Bar

‍

A secret hidden bar… inside a dental office? 👀

Yep, @thedentalbarco is one of the most unique practices I’ve ever seen. They took a traditional waiting room and turned it into a hidden bar, making it one of the most innovative ideas in dental office design.

Why it works:

✅ Modern, light-toned architecture that enhances both patient experience and content shoots

✅ A literal hidden bar instead of a traditional waiting room

✅ Strong social presence: 40.6K on IG, 24.8K on TikTok — and still growing

This is what happens when you add a signature twist to your brand and communicate it clearly and consistently. @thedentalbarco nailed it.

Happy Tooth

What’s the wildest thing you can put inside a pediatric dental clinic?

Believe it or not, @happytoothslc built a full-on basketball court inside their pediatric dental practice.

Why it works:

✅ Indoor basketball court to keep kids engaged and relaxed

✅ Staff in relaxed, casual clothing to make the environment feel less clinical

✅ Cartoons, graffiti, and a fun, warm vibe that makes the clinic feel like a fun space, not a scary one

A brilliant move if you don’t want kids to feel like they’re at the dentist. Instead, they feel like they’re in a space designed for fun and excitement. Well played, @happytoothslc 👏

Trident Smiles Dental

Best way to eliminate dental anxiety?

Turn dental visits into beach vacations 🏖️. That’s exactly how @tridentsmilesdental crushed it in Sunnyvale and hit 7 figures in their first year.

Why it works:

✅ Massage chairs & hot towels to help patients relax

✅ Beach-themed rooms that transport patients to a calming, vacation-like experience

✅ Netflix & whitening to make treatments feel more like entertainment than a dental appointment

This is what anxiety-free dentistry actually looks like. @tridentsmilesdental set the bar for patient experience.
