Step 1: Define Your Target Dentists

Start by identifying the type of dental professionals you want to target. Whether you’re looking for general dentists, orthodontists, or pediatric specialists, clearly defining your audience will help streamline your search.

Other Potential Targets

Consider expanding your search to include different types of dental professionals:

• Orthodontists
• Pediatric Dentists
• Oral Surgeons
• Periodontists
• Prosthodontists

Step 2: Leverage NAICS Codes to Identify Dentists

Using NAICS codes will help pinpoint specific dental industries. Here's a breakdown of codes for various dental professions:

General Dentists	621210
Orthodontists	621210
Oral Surgeons	621210
Pediatric Dentists	621210
Periodontists	621210
Prosthodontists	621210

Step 3: Expand Your Reach with Lookalike Audiences

To broaden your reach, consider identifying lookalike audiences—those who are similar to your primary target. This involves finding professionals in related industries or roles that share common characteristics with your ideal audience.

How to Identify Similar NAICS Codes

NAICS codes are crucial when expanding your audience. If you want to increase your reach beyond general dentists, look for similar or adjacent NAICS codes. For instance, while the main code for dentists is 621210 (Offices of Dentists), you can explore related fields in the healthcare or outpatient sectors:

Related Healthcare Professions	NAICS Code
Chiropractors	621310
Physical Therapists	621340
Physicians (General Practice)	621111
Outpatient Care Centers	621498

Step 4: Use Geographic Filters to Narrow Down Your Search

With AvocData, you can refine your dentist search based on geography. Focus on specific regions or states to ensure you reach the most relevant dental professionals.

• Primary Geographic Focus: Nationwide or specific regions like California, New York, or Texas

Step 5: Customize Your Data Needs

Clearly defining your data requirements will make your outreach more effective. When requesting data, specify the type of contact information you need:

• Email Lists: Essential for digital marketing campaigns and personalized outreach.
• Mailing Lists: Great for sending direct mailers, brochures, or dental product samples.
• Phone Lists: Use these for direct phone outreach, especially to set appointments or consultative services.

Step 6: Enrich Your Data with Additional Information

Data enrichment helps enhance the quality of your lists by adding relevant information like practice size, years in business, and specialties.

• Data Enrichment: Add information like practice demographics, patient volume, and specific dental services offered (e.g., cosmetic, pediatric).

Step 7: Organize Your Outreach Strategy

Now that you have your dentist mailing, email, and phone lists, it’s time to plan your outreach:

• Segment your dentists based on specialization or location for more targeted messaging.
• Personalize your campaigns using enriched data. For example, send cosmetic dentistry products to dentists specializing in aesthetics.

Step 8: Grow Your Dental Practice Using a Dentist Mailing List

Using a targeted mailing list is one of the best ways to grow your dental practice.
