How a Pediatric Dental Chain Turned New Movers into 45 Hot Leads — And Built 2.5 Years of Growth

August 4, 2026by Richard Taves0

regional pediatric dental chain was facing a common yet costly challenge – patient turnover. With roughly 5% of its patients relocating each year, maintaining a healthy pipeline of new families was crucial for sustained growth. 

The Challenge: Families Move, Patients Leave 

Even the most loyal patients can’t stick around if they move. For this pediatric dental group, family relocations were quietly eroding their patient base, making it difficult to maintain consistent growth.  

To offset this natural churn, they needed a strategy to attract new families moving into the area. 

The Solution: Hyper-Targeted Outreach to New Movers 

Welcome Wagon partners with a variety of businesses, including pediatric dental chains to reach families who’ve recently moved into the area. Using timely, personalized outreach, these practices can introduce their services to new residents when they choose local providers and services in their community. 

For this pediatric dental chain, Welcome Wagon used a mix of digital channels to reach new movers, including:

• Email campaigns
• Social media campaigns 

The Results: 45 Leads from a Single Campaign 

The first new mover campaign delivered impressive results: 

  • 45 leads 
  • A multi-year marketing strategy  
  • 2.5 years of sustained growth  

What began as a test campaign quickly became a core part of the dental chain’s new patient acquisition strategy. 

Final Thoughts 

If your dental practice (or any local service business) is losing customers due to moves, you don’t have to just accept it as the cost of doing business. With the right strategy, every new neighbor is a potential lifelong customer.
