Add your own: the questions your front desk hears this week belong on this list, so have them write down every one.

The shot list · six topics

What they ask, what you say, what you show.

Each opening line is one sentence that starts the answer. The doctor finishes it in their own words and owns every clinical claim. Nothing on screen ever shows real patient information, and patients appear only with their written consent.

Group 01 · 5 questions

Implants

Clinical answers come from the doctor.

01 Can I get implants if I already wear a denture?

Say on camera

If you wear a denture today, here's how we find out whether implants are an option for you.

A simple timeline on screen: consult, scans, surgery day, healing, final teeth. Your doctor fills in the time for each step.

03 I was told I don't have enough bone. Can I still get implants?

Say on camera

Hearing you don't have enough bone isn't always the end of the conversation, so here's what we look at first.

Show on screen

The doctor pointing at a demo scan on a monitor. Use a demo image from your scanner's software, never a patient's scan.

Say on camera

If your lower denture moves every time you chew, here's why that happens and what we can do about it.

Say on camera

Bonding and veneers can both change your smile, and here's how we help you choose between them.

Show on screen

A two column card on screen: how it's done, time in the chair, how you care for it. Your doctor approves the words.

Group 04 · 5 questions

Financing

Some financing checks are a soft credit check, and here's what that means for your credit.

A simple soft check versus hard check card, written from your lender's own wording. Only if your lender offers a soft check.

19 Why won't you tell me the price over the phone?

A flat lay of props: a photo ID, an insurance card, a medication list, reading glasses. Use sample cards, never real ones.

Say on camera

A consult here is about what you want fixed, and you'll leave knowing your options whether you start or not.

How to film · five in one hour

Five videos, one hour, one phone.

No crew and no studio. One topic, one setup, one take per question, captions on.

01

Pick five from one group.

About 10 minutes. One topic means one setup and one outfit. Write each opening line on a card and tape it just under the phone.

02

Set up the phone and the light.

About 10 minutes. Phone vertical at eye level on a stand, back camera, about an arm's length away. Face a window or a soft light, never with it behind you. Close the door.

03

One take per question.

About 30 minutes. Say the opening line first, answer the question, and stop. If you stumble, pause and start that sentence again, then cut it later.

04

Captions, a privacy check, then post.

About 10 minutes. Add captions, put the question on screen in the first second, and check every frame for patient information before it goes up.

Who says it

Clinical questions go to the doctor. Insurance, payment options and first visit questions can come from the front desk or your coordinator.

Sound

A quiet room matters more than gear. A small clip mic helps if the room echoes. Turn off the music and the air purifier while you record.

Captions

Use the captions in Instagram or your editing app, and read them once. Clinical words get misspelled, so fix them before you post.

Your front desk already has your content calendar.

Fun videos travel further because anybody can enjoy them, but patients book from videos that get specific. The questions your front desk hears are those videos.

My agency runs SEO, Google Ads, Meta ads and websites for dental practices, and the same questions make strong pages on your website. Film them yourself with this list. If you'd rather have my team turn them into pages and ads, that's what we do.

FAQ · before you film

Questions, answered.

Only with the patient's written consent on file, on a form your own counsel approves. If a before and after is up without it, take it down today. The checklist on this page covers what the form should spell out. This is not legal advice.

Not for every question. Clinical answers, like implants, bone, sedation or how long something lasts, should come from the doctor. Insurance, payment options, the first visit and what to bring can come from your front desk or your coordinator.

Long enough to answer one question, and no longer. If the answer needs a second question, that's a second video. Open with the opening line so the question is clear in the first second, and put it on screen as text too.

Use a demo image from your software instead. A real patient's scan, chart or X-ray is patient information, even with the name cropped out, so it needs that patient's written consent and a check with your counsel first.

Have the doctor review every clinical line before it posts, and keep promises about results out of it. The opening lines here are written to start the answer without making clinical claims. Your doctor owns those.

Follow your own pricing policy. For financing videos, explain how it works in plain words and leave out rates, payment amounts and approval promises. Check your lender's rules for advertising before you post. This is not financial or legal advice.

Don't confirm they're a patient, and leave names, treatments, dates and insurance out of your reply. Thank them and invite them to call the office. If a review comes from someone who was never a patient, report it to Google instead of replying. This is not legal advice.

On your website, as question headings with a short answer right underneath. At a practice we work with in Florida, a blog post answering one denture question became one of its biggest traffic drivers, by my own read of that site's data, not an independent study. The free AI SEO audit prompt checks your pages for exactly this.

No. A recent phone, a window for light and a quiet room cover it. A small clip mic helps with sound. One take per question, captions on, and a privacy check before each one posts.

Yes. My agency runs SEO, Google Ads, Meta ads and websites for dental practices, and these questions turn into pages that answer what patients search for. The filming stays with your team. Book a free strategy call and we'll go through which questions your site answers today and which ones it's missing.
