Every Door Direct Mail · Dental
EDDM for dental practices
New-patient postcards only work when they land in the right mailboxes. We point your mail at family neighborhoods full of the households that book cleanings, checkups, and whitening — not just whoever lives closest.
Who your mail reaches — and why
For dental practices, our advisor leads with family neighborhoods with school-age kids — the core dental-recall audience. Parents book for the whole household, so one converted family is worth several individual patients.
We rank neighborhoods for dental by:
- •Share of households with school-age kids
- •Family-household density
- •Distance from your practice
Every recommendation comes with a plain-language reason, and you can override it with a different audience in one click.
See the competition first
Before you spend, you see how many dental businesses already serve each neighborhood — so you can aim at an open market instead of the block every practice mails.
Your neighborhoods, exclusively
One business per neighborhood per category per month — when you book it, no competing dental offer shares those mailboxes that month.
One all-in price
From $0.86 per piece down to $0.66 at volume — printing, postage, and delivery included. A typical ~1,000-mailbox neighborhood runs about $1,000. Run your numbers.

Common questions
Does EDDM work for dental offices?
Yes — dental is one of the classic EDDM categories, because almost every household needs dental care and decisions are made locally. The difference-maker is neighborhood choice: family-heavy areas respond far better to new-patient offers than average blocks do.
How much does EDDM cost for a dental practice?
One flat all-in rate covers printing, postage, and delivery: from $0.86 per piece, dropping to $0.66 at higher volumes. A typical neighborhood of about 1,000 mailboxes runs about $1,000. Try the numbers yourself with our free EDDM cost calculator.
Can another dentist mail the same neighborhoods?
Not while you hold them. When you book a neighborhood for a month, no other dental business can mail it through us that month — one business per neighborhood per category.
Why not just use the free USPS EDDM tool?
You can — USPS delivers the mail either way, and we use the same postal rails. But the free tool only shows routes and takes your postage; it won't tell a dental business which neighborhoods are actually worth mailing, print your cards, bundle them to spec, or handle the forms and the post-office drop. That's the work that decides whether the campaign pays off, and it's what our flat rate includes.
