More Patients. Proven ROI. One Partner.
35 years of dental marketing expertise, now with AI that captures every call and shows you exactly what your marketing produces.
Part 1: Why NPI
Dental Marketing Is All We Do. It's All We've Ever Done.
Since 1989, NPI has worked exclusively with dental practices. Not healthcare broadly. Not small businesses generally. Dentistry.
That focus compounds over 35 years.
We know how patients choose a dentist. We understand the lifetime value of a new patient relationship and what it takes to earn one. We’ve tested every marketing channel that’s come along – Yellow Pages, websites, SEO, paid search, social media, direct mail – and we know which ones actually fill chairs.
We’ve navigated compliance requirements, insurance questions, and the specific psychology of dental patients. We’ve seen what works in small towns and competitive metros, for solo practitioners and multi-location groups.
Other agencies learn your industry while you pay them. We’ve been in yours for three and a half decades.

35 Years of Partnerships That Work
We’ve never believed in doing everything ourselves. We believe in assembling the right pieces.
Over the years, we’ve built relationships with the best partners in the industry – technology providers, media specialists, software platforms. Each one chosen because they solve a specific problem better than anyone else.
Our job is putting them together in a way that actually grows your practice. Strategy. Execution. Accountability. One partner who owns the outcome.
That’s how we’ve always operated. And it’s led us to something that changes what’s possible.
Part 2: How This Partnership Changes Things
We Could Drive Patients to Your Phone. We Couldn't Make Sure Someone Answered.
For 35 years, we’ve helped practices attract the right patients. We’ve driven calls, clicks, and interest. The marketing worked.
But here’s what we couldn’t control: what happened when that patient actually called.
Did someone answer? Or did it ring five times and hit voicemail?
During the lunch rush, when your front desk is checking in patients and verifying insurance, did that new patient call go to hold? Did they hang up?
At 6 PM, when your ad convinced someone to finally deal with that toothache, was anyone there to book them?
We could measure some of this. We could show you the missed calls. But we couldn’t fix it.
And the other piece: we could track clicks, calls, and leads. But connecting marketing spend to actual patient value? To real revenue? That connection stayed fuzzy.
These two gaps – capturing every call and proving real ROI – were the pieces we couldn’t solve on our own.
Now Every Call Gets Answered. And You See What Every Patient Is Worth.
Our partnership with Yobi completes the picture.
Kate, your AI voice receptionist, answers every call to your practice.
24 hours a day. 7 days a week. She sounds human. She knows dentistry. She books appointments on the spot.
The 9 PM caller? Booked for Tuesday before she hangs up.
The lunch rush overflow? Handled without anyone waiting on hold.
The Saturday morning emergency? Triaged and scheduled.
Kate doesn’t take messages. Kate captures patients.
Marketing Buddy AI shows you what your marketing actually produces.
Not clicks. Not impressions. Actual patient value.
Which campaigns drive calls that become appointments? Which ones generate interest that goes nowhere? What’s the real cost to acquire a new patient – and what’s that patient worth over time?
You’ll see the connection between your marketing spend and your schedule. The black box opens.
This Is What's Been Slipping Through
35-38%
of calls go unanswered
80%
are appointment requests
65%
are new patients
$2.1K-$22K
lifetime value per patient
$4K-$7K
average monthly loss
Your marketing might be working exactly as it should. But if calls aren’t getting answered and you can’t see what’s producing real value, you’re flying blind.
Now you don’t have to.

35 Years of Dental Marketing Expertise
Strategy, execution, and accountability from a team that’s been doing this since 1989. Not learning on your dime.
You Have Options. Here's Why Practices Choose Us.
vs. Practice Software (Weave, etc.)
They sell software. We deliver patients.
Software gives you tools to manage. Tools don’t answer your phone at 7 PM. Tools don’t generate the calls in the first place. Tools don’t track which marketing actually produces revenue.
The NPI Difference: We’re not a platform you learn. We’re a partner who delivers.
vs. Other Marketing Agencies
They stop at the click. We own the result.
Good agencies drive interest. But their job usually ends when someone picks up the phone. What happens next – whether the call gets answered, whether it becomes an appointment, what that patient is worth – isn’t their problem.
The NPI Difference: We’re not a platform you learn. We’re a partner who delivers.
vs. AI Reception Services
They answer calls. We grow practices.
AI reception by itself solves one problem. It doesn’t generate the calls. It doesn’t track the value. It’s a piece without the puzzle.
The NPI Difference: Kate is part of 35 years of dental marketing expertise. Everything connected.
vs. Answering Services
They take messages. Kate books appointments.
Answering services write down a name and number. You call back tomorrow. By then, the patient booked somewhere else.
The NPI Difference: Kate handles it in real-time. The caller hangs up with a confirmed appointment.
| Alternative | What's Missing | With NPI |
|---|---|---|
| Practice software | Tools to manage, not results delivered | Complete service, Kate answering calls |
| Marketing agencies | Visibility ends at the click | Full transparency to patient value |
| AI-only solutions | Answering without marketing | Marketing + capture + ROI tracking |
| Answering services | Messages, not appointments | Real-time booking, real-time capture |

What if I already have a marketing agency?
We can work alongside existing marketing or replace it – your choice. Many practices add Kate and Marketing Buddy AI first. Once they see what their current marketing actually produces, priorities often shift.

Pricing depends on practice size, current marketing needs, and which services you need. We start with a free practice analysis that shows you where you stand. From there, we recommend what makes sense for your situation.
