Dentists Thrive.

Our Mission

To Help Dentists Do More Good in the World.

Our mission is to help dental practitioners and orthodontists achieve their goals, increase their practice valuation, and empower them to do more good in the world.

When dentists thrive, communities benefit. More patients get the care they need. More families have access to excellent dental health. That's what drives us every day — not just revenue numbers, but real impact.

Strategy First, Always

We don't execute tactics without a plan. Every engagement starts with a deep understanding of your practice, your ideal patients, and your competitive landscape.

True Partnership

We're not a vendor who disappears after onboarding. We become an extension of your team — accountable to your results, not just your invoice.

Full Transparency

No jargon-filled reports. No black boxes. You get a real-time KPI dashboard, monthly insights walkthroughs, and honest conversations about what's working.

Relentless Execution

Great strategy without great execution is worthless. Our team is on it every single day — optimizing, creating, and pushing your practice forward.

The Guide Behind Your Growth

Ian founded Dental Marketing Heroes after watching too many great dentists get burned by underqualified, ineffective, and unscrupulous marketing vendors. He wanted to build something different — a true marketing partner dedicated to dental practices.

Today, Ian and his team work exclusively with dentists and orthodontists across North America — deploying a proven, systematic approach to marketing that produces measurable, sustainable growth. He's written the book on content marketing for local search, earned multiple national awards, and built a reputation for being the kind of marketing partner every dentist deserves but rarely finds.
