For Pediatric Dentists

Pediatric dental branding.

Pediatric dental branding that gives kids a world to walk into and gives parents a reason to choose you. A business decision — right down to the sticker.

The Audience

Your patient is six. Your customer is her mom.

A pediatric dental brand has two people to win over, and they want different things. The kid wants to know this place is going to be fun — or at least not scary. The parent wants to know it's good, and she made up her mind before the first appointment: after the mom friends weighed in, after the Google reviews, after the website.

Most pediatric practices answer both with the same kit: a smiling tooth, a rainbow of primary colors, a jungle on the wall. It's friendly. It's also what the practice across town has — which makes choosing between you a coin flip.

We build the other kind. A whole idea a child can walk into and a parent can remember: the world's happiest prep school, a day at the derby, a valley of friendly monsters, a whale with a balloon. Then we carry it through the name, the logo, the office, the website and the thing the patient takes home.

We've been doing it since 2009, for pediatric dentists and for practices that pair pediatric dentistry with orthodontics. Kids grow up. A good brand grows with them.

The Point

Kids pick the sticker. Parents pick the practice. The brand has to win both.

Asked & Answered

Pediatric dental branding, the questions.

01What is pediatric dental branding?

Pediatric dental branding is the strategy, name, logo, look, voice and office experience that make your practice the one kids ask to go back to and parents recommend. It's the whole brand identity system, built for two audiences at once.

02Does a pediatric dental brand need a mascot?

It needs an idea. Sometimes the idea has a face, and we'll draw the character and the world it lives in. Sometimes it's a place, a game or a story. What it can't be is a tooth with eyes.

03How much does pediatric dental branding cost?

Ahhh, the money question. Fair.

We don't do mystery pricing, and we don't quote before we know what we're building — that would be guessing, and you deserve better than a guess. Engagements start at $10k. A custom brand identity system runs higher: a five-figure investment, built custom every time. Exact numbers come on the very first call.

The longer answer lives in the FAQs.

04How long does it take?

Start to finish, a custom brand identity runs four to five months, and a website adds to it.

On a faster clock? Sugar Monki pre-made brand kits for dental and orthodontic practices are ready in four to six weeks.

05We're a pediatric dental and orthodontic practice. One brand or two?

One. Every combined pediatric and orthodontic practice we've branded lives under a single brand, built so the six-year-old and the sixteen-year-old both feel at home in it.

06Can you name my pediatric practice?

Yes. Many of the practices on this page were named here. Here's how we name a practice.

07Do you only work with pediatric dentists near you?

No — we work with practices around the world. The lab is wherever the video call is. If you can join one, you're local enough.
