10 Memorable & Catchy Dental Slogans & Taglines

You never get a second chance at a first impression. 

When a potential patient visits your website, it’s crucial to communicate what makes your practice special right away. While there are lots of ways to do this, including an engaging logo, original photography, and modern web design, how you describe your practice in your own words makes a big impact.

When we build a dental website or create content on a practice’s behalf, one of the ways we quickly communicate what makes them unique is through an effective dental tagline or slogan.

First things first, does your website pass the 5-second test?

At :Delmain, we have a test for every client website. 

Can a reader get all the information they need within 5 seconds of viewing the page? No scrolling allowed.

The 5-second test is mostly a test of the effectiveness of the design and copy on the top part of your homepage, the “above the fold” area. While design is a big part of this equation, the words you communicate to visitors is crucial to their understanding of your practice.

Some of the words above the fold will be centered around your business name, practice location, and keyword-focused copy. Your tagline is where you can develop your brand and communicate your value.

Dental website slogans

55% of website visitors spend fewer than 15 seconds on a website before leaving. This makes the tagline, along with the rest of the content “above the fold,” crucial for clearly communicating why patients should choose your practice.

Beyond the design of your website, your slogan or tagline will be many potential patients’ first impression of your practice. Make it last.

4 tips for writing a creative dental tagline or slogan

There is no magic formula when it comes to creative dental slogans that work and it can be overwhelming to try to sum up your practice in a few words. 

Our content writers and strategists have offered some helpful tips for creating dental slogans that make an impact. When brainstorming ideas for catchy dental phrases to use, keep these in mind.

The simpler the better

An effective slogan needs to be easily digestible and immediately understandable. If you use words that are jargony or inaccessible to any portion of your audience, it can turn them away and make them feel isolated.

Additionally, it’s easy to say too much. Dental taglines and slogans should be short and sweet, and never longer than 10 words at the most.

Speak to your value proposition and what makes you different

Taglines and slogans give readers a peek inside your practice’s culture, service offerings, and personality. This is your opportunity to show potential patients why they should schedule an appointment with you.

Think about what your answer would be if someone asked you to describe your practice in 1 sentence. What would you say? Try to communicate that information in your slogan.

You only get so many words in your tagline. Make them count!

Display your personality

Don’t just use this space to list keywords that you think describe your practice. Show off your personality and have a little bit of fun. Try to speak from your practice’s voice and be welcoming.

Make sure it fits with the rest of the content on your website

Lastly, make sure your tagline fits the voice of the rest of your website. The content on your site should all be written from the same perspective, use consistent language that speaks to your core values, and never be contradictory.

While a tagline won’t be able to speak to everything at once, think of it as the north star to the rest of the content that lives on your website.
