About Dental Marketing
Society

We exist to empower dental practice owners with the education, tools, and community they need to grow with confidence and stop guessing about marketing.

Our Mission

To be the #1 trusted authority in dental practice marketing. To give practice owners the knowledge, tools, and community they need to attract more patients, build stronger brands, and grow their practices profitably. Not through selling consulting services, but through radical transparency, peer learning, and expert education.

The Story of DMS

Dental Marketing Society was born from a simple frustration: practice owners were tired of overpaying for vague consulting services and marketing agencies that couldn't explain their strategies in plain English.

In 2023, the team at Ekwa Marketing — a search engine marketing agency that's been working with dental practices since 2009 — decided to flip the model. Instead of keeping our best practices secret to protect our consulting business, we opened the doors. We created DMS to teach practice owners everything we know about marketing their practices across every channel.

We share case studies with real numbers. We break down how Google Ads actually work. We teach the SEO fundamentals that the big agencies keep hidden. And we built a community where practice owners can ask thousands of peers: "Has anyone tried this?"

The result? A community of 10,000+ practice owners who are smarter about marketing, more confident in their decisions, and seeing better results.

DMS isn't a side project for us. It's how we believe marketing education should work in dentistry: transparent, practical, and peer-driven.

The Ekwa Connection — Transparent Sponsorship

We're backed by Ekwa Marketing.

Dental Marketing Society is a product of Ekwa Marketing, the leading search engine marketing agency for dental practices. Ekwa invests in DMS because we believe in lifting the entire industry — educated practice owners make smarter decisions, and that benefits everyone.

How is this transparent?

  • ✓ We clearly state DMS is brought to you by Ekwa
  • ✓ We teach you how to do marketing yourself — whether you use Ekwa or not
  • ✓ We feature case studies and strategies from competitors too
  • ✓ Our community is vendor-neutral; no spam or sales pitches allowed
  • ✓ Premium members can get Ekwa advisory sessions, but it's optional

Bottom line: We want you to grow your practice with or without Ekwa. An educated, empowered practice owner is our win.
