A Personal Message From The Founder, Dr. Joseph Shohmelian
Directories.Dental is a concept I created after 47 years of successfully operating multiple private practices, personally caring for many thousands of patients, employing over 40 dentists during that time and conducting seminars as a pioneer in the field of conservative keyhole implant dentistry.
Having commenced my career at a time when advertising and marketing for dentists was prohibited, and having witnessed the evolution and explosion of online marketing by dentists, I decided to create a unique concept to promote the dental profession as a united group rather than competing against each other.
Nothing upsets me as much as seeing practices fail, or dentists achieving far less than their true potential, receiving far less recognition and reward for their talents, skills and years of sacrifice.
This concept of having a presence in multiple online sites is designed to eliminate that concern.
Given the great challenges you have overcome to gain your initial qualification and then to build your career, it troubles me deeply to see so many dentists underachieving their true potential, suffering under the stresses that are part of the daily life of a dentist, with repercussions on our health, our finances and our relationships.
I have been where you are currently and in my retirement, am now able to commit to making that road a little easier for as many colleagues as possible by providing multiple pathways for the right patients to connect with you and your practice.
I am referring to targetd dental directories which allow you to create a detailed listing to promote the services you enjoy performing. Your feature-rich listings come complete with the ability to upload photo galleries, videos, articles and more, without needing technical assistance. This is a very simple, effective and proven method to connect with more new patients.
By having a listing in more than one specifically targeted directory, such as Local Family Dentists, Cosmetic Dentists or Implant Dentists, to name a few, you can create a listing focused on those services in around 30 minutes for each directory ....... listings that perform like multiple mini websites promoting a specific service to patients who are specifically searching for that particular service in your locality.
My personal experience over more than 25 years of online advertising has proven this concept to be far more successful than having one website that is loaded with excessive information, making it harder for patients to maintain interest and focus as they search tab after tab trying to find out about what they specifically need.
Currently, we are just a few months away from launching Australia's top brand name to promote dentists .... DENTISTS.com.au which will promote the first group of directories to the public, with more to be released over the rest of 2026.
If you would like to discover how to take part in this launch to promote your practice, please complete the form below. This new online brand is destined to become the primary resource to promote every dentist to the Australian public.
In the same way that the public instinctively search HOTELS.com or TRIVAGO.com to find the right accommdation for their needs, DENTISTS.com.au will become the first website the public will visit to connect with the right dentists for their needs.
