Notice to Dental & Med Spa Clients: Beware of Current Scams Targeting Your Practice
At Ai Healthcare Marketing, we’re committed to protecting your brand and your reputation. Recently, we’ve seen a sharp increase in two specific types of scams targeting dental and med spa practices across the country:
“Free Dental Implant” & Grant Scam
What’s happening
- Misleading online ads are promoting “free dental implants” or “implant grant programs” – often using language like:“Get dental implants for free with a grant” “$499 full-mouth implants”
- These ads are frequently run by third-party lead sellers or scammers, and sometimes include your practice name, city, or address without permission.
- Patients click or call, thinking they’re responding to your offer – even if your office doesn’t offer implants at all.
What this means for your team
- Your front desk may receive calls from confused or misled patients expecting free implants.These leads may have been sold multiple times by the scammer.
- Even if your practice didn’t create the ad, your reputation may be impacted.
What to do
- Let patients know you are not affiliated with any implant grant program or “free implant” offer.
- Use a script like:
Fake “Google Ads” Phone Calls
What’s happening
- Practices are receiving multiple unsolicited calls per day from people claiming to be from “Google” or “Google Ads.”
- These callers often:
- Claim your Google Ads aren’t showing properly
- Say your business listing has issues
- Pressure you to provide login info or buy a service
Important
