Case Study – Stephens & Gatewood Dentistry

Stephens & Gatewood Dentistry is a high-end dental practice with two locations in the Houston area and a sister brand, Houston Sleep Solutions. After three years of partnering with Pro Impressions Marketing, the practice has seen a significant transformation in online visibility, patient engagement, and demand for high-value dental services.

Elevating a Houston Dental Brand

When the practice joined Pro Impressions Marketing, it was primarily receiving general dentistry leads, despite its desire to grow implant, cosmetic, and restorative cases. Their social media presence was minimal, the website content didn’t fully support conversions, and key service pages lacked visibility. A comprehensive digital strategy was needed to reposition the practice toward the types of cases they most wanted to attract.
