How Strategic Design + Marketing Transformed a Malibu Dental Practice

The Challenge

Dr. Perkins’ high-end Malibu practice had:

• An outdated website that didn’t reflect their luxury cosmetic dentistry (90% bounce rate)
• Zero online bookings – patients only called (but 60% went to voicemail)
• Invisible for local searches like "best cosmetic dentist Malibu" or "porcelain veneers Santa Monica"

Our Integrated Solution

1. Luxury Dental Branding That Commands Premium Fees

• Custom "Malibu chic" visual identity (serene blues, beach-inspired textures)
• Professional smile galleries shot in natural light (no clinical "before/afters")
• Replaced stock photos with authentic office/team visuals

2. Conversion-Focused Website Redesign

• 1-click booking with calendar sync (reduced missed calls by 70%)
• "Veneer ROI Calculator" (engaged high-value patients)
• Smooth scroll animations showcasing beachside office ambiance

3. Hyper-Targeted Patient Acquisition

• Instagram/Facebook ads featuring "smile stories" of local influencers
• SEO-optimized blog: "The Malibu Guide to Painless Dental Upgrades"
• Google Ads for luxury keywords ("celebrity dentist Malibu")

‍

The Results

✅ 4X more new patients (22 → 88/month)
✅ Online bookings went from 0% to 65% of appointments
✅ 42% higher case acceptance on cosmetic treatments
✅ Ranked #1 on Google for "Malibu cosmetic dentist"

"Vero Shard made us look like the $20M boutique practice we are – now our website books patients while we sleep."
— Dr. Bob Perkins
