Dental imaging centres · Healthcare
Dentists send the scan. Be the centre they trust with it.
An implant surgeon wants a CBCT scan before a case next week. He has a patient waiting and no machine in his clinic. He rings the centre he used last time, finds it closed, and sends the patient to a rival whose assistant picked up the phone and promised the scan by evening.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
In one paragraph
A dental imaging centre sells OPG, CBCT and cephalograms mostly to dentists, who send patients with a request. Marketing makes the centre known to the dental clinics around it. Sales is the dentist's first referral, the credit account and the report that arrives in a format they can use. GullySales handles the dentist outreach and the follow-up.
A dental imaging centre has fewer buyers than most imaging businesses, and each of them is a dentist who may send dozens of patients a year. Buyers choose on reliability, report format and speed of delivery, not on advertising. Centres lose them to a missed call, a scan delivered in the wrong format, a billing dispute, or a rival who simply visited more often.
How buyers decide
How dental imaging centres are chosen.
The dentist chooses the centre and the patient follows. Implantologists, orthodontists, endodontists and oral surgeons send patients for OPG, CBCT and cephalograms. They value a centre that reports clearly, delivers files they can open and treats their patients kindly. Patients with a request in hand rarely compare.
Some patients arrive without a dentist's request, searching dental X-ray or CBCT near me. These are a smaller group and choose on location, price and reviews. They are worth capturing, but the dentist remains the larger source.
Competition comes from clinics that buy their own machine. A busy clinic may decide to own a CBCT, and the centre loses that dentist. Staying useful with value-added reports, speed and an easy account keeps the relationship.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for dental imaging centres.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“A dentist rings and no one answers”
The centre is busy with a patient. The dentist's patient is waiting, and the dentist uses a rival next time.
“The scan is delivered in a format the dentist cannot use”
Files arrive on a disc that does not open or in a format their software does not read. The dentist loses time and patience.
“Billing to clinics becomes a muddle”
Credit accounts are tracked in a notebook. Disputes arise and good clients are annoyed.
“Dentists forget us if we are not visited”
A centre that does not visit loses to one that does. Relationships fade quietly.
“Patients arrive without a request and are confused”
A walk-in does not know what to ask for. The counter staff cannot explain the difference between scans.
“A busy clinic buys its own machine and we do not know it was coming”
A good client leaves, and nobody saw the warning signs.
What we do
What we do for dental imaging centres.
Everything included for dental imaging centres, and the result each part is there to produce.
A quick answer for dentists
A routine for answering a dentist's call or WhatsApp within the hours agreed with you, with a named contact for urgent requests.
Result: A dentist with a patient waiting reaches someone.
A dentist-friendly file and report standard
A short written standard for file formats, delivery routes and report layout, shared with the dentists who use you.
Result: Scans arrive in a form the dentist can use.
A clean account system
A simple record of credit accounts, statements and queries, kept so that a dispute is easy to settle.
Result: Billing stops being the reason a dentist leaves.
A visiting routine for dental clinics
A planned list of dental clinics within reach, with a one-page card and a follow-up after each visit.
Result: Dentists know who you are before they need you.
A page for patients and walk-ins
A plain page and listing explaining each scan, who needs it and how to book, for patients without a dentist's request.
Result: Walk-ins arrive knowing what they need.
A report against the baseline
Dentists sending scans, scans per dentist, enquiries by source and accounts at risk, against the baseline taken before work starts.
Result: You can see who is sending, who is slipping and who has gone.
How the result is measured
- Dentists sending scans, and how that changes
- Scans per dentist
- Dentist calls answered within the hours agreed
- Accounts overdue or in dispute
- Walk-in enquiries by source
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Worth a page and a campaign of their own
OPG and cephalometric imaging · CBCT for implants and orthodontics · TMJ and sinus imaging · Clear reports and annotated scans · Digital delivery to dentists · Credit accounts for dental clinics · Walk-in patients with a request · Training and support for dentists using CBCT
Priority campaigns
Campaigns for what dental imaging centres most want to sell.
Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.
Implant planning support
A short offer to implant surgeons: clear CBCT reports, file formats that work and a quick turnaround agreed in your own terms.
Result: Implant surgeons choose you for planning.
Orthodontic records
A package for orthodontists that covers OPG, cephalograms and photographs.
Result: Orthodontists have one place to send records.
New dentists in the area
Outreach to dentists who have just opened a clinic, with a welcome card and a simple account.
Result: New clinics begin with you.
Dental college and CPD tie-ups
Talks and short sessions for students and practising dentists on using CBCT.
Result: The centre becomes known as the one that teaches.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.

- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
01 · First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
04 · After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
06 · At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

- Result
- No numbers were recorded for this engagement. The work is described in full in the case study.

The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
