This is what one of our videos looks like.

Reason to Smile Dental, on what they most want patients to know before they come in: "They are involved in their treatment decisions."

Reason to Smile Dental, on what they most want patients to know before they come in: "They are involved in their treatment decisions."

From the video: "I think I would want patients to know most about coming to the dental office is that they are involved in their treatment decisions. And we want to make them feel comfortable about the treatment that they receive, that they get to make those choices. We will, of course, make suggestions based on what we see, but they're in control of that."

The setup fee

The setup fee

No setup fee if you sign up by November 30 (normally $399). It covers the work before your first chat: we research your business, your customers and your market, send you a short questionnaire, and write the questions for your first video chat. The chat goes better because of it.

What short-form video usually costs

What short-form video usually costs

A production studio typically quotes $1,000 to $5,000 for one professionally made short-form video, and bigger productions run $10,000 or more. Monthly video retainers run $1,500 to $5,000 or more. That usually means a crew, a shoot day and a script.

A freelance editor costs less, about $50 to $300 a clip. You film it yourself and send them the footage.
