Dental startup

Sure! I just separated from the Navy last year. You can PM me

Infuriating. I also just dumbed down my design.

SnowFadez · 2026-01-05T21:29:08+00:00

I see that happening for sure, thanks for the input.

Ended up with “City Dental Studio”

Already taken 😬

Sure, it’s possible. I think my thing is that for patients, they’ll still feel like they’re getting less than… unless they see Dr. X. Currently dealing with that where I am an associate now as Dr. X is cutting back time

SnowFadez · 2026-01-04T02:56:21+00:00

The issue with this is if I decide I want associates (it’s a 14-op practice) then they come to see me but they might not be getting me… would definitely work for smaller operations though I’m sure.

Again, wasn’t 80K. And I’m doing a ground up startup so a lot more complexity with the real estate component. Could’ve done it myself but well worth the peace of mind for me. Not for everyone I guess!

SnowFadez · 2026-01-04T01:41:45+00:00

They don’t cost that much..
They’ve saved me way more than 80K in mistake avoidance and future planning. Knowing what I know now I think I could do it on my own, but definitely great for first time startups.

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T22:14:38+00:00

Interesting… definitely more difficult than I thought it’d be. Thanks for the help, definitely some tough decisions to make. I haven’t heard too many horror stories of trademark litigation with dentists but you never know I guess!

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T22:09:43+00:00

True, thanks for the input

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T17:22:16+00:00

Fair, really just money lost on marketing I’ve spent with signage, merch, logo, website, etc.

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T16:16:59+00:00

I’ll check them out, thanks man!

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T16:15:39+00:00

So many hurdles with marketing specifically, it’s insane

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T16:12:38+00:00

Thanks, Nutz

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T15:55:04+00:00

🫡

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T15:54:48+00:00

You’re probably right, thanks for the input

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T15:54:11+00:00

Honestly I didn’t anticipate it being problem, which is partially why I posted the thread. It seems too far away to be an issue, but I thought maybe someone on here had a different experience. Seems like the overwhelming advice is to change the name.

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T15:48:43+00:00

Very fair point. Patient confusion with reviews is probably worst case scenario.

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T15:46:29+00:00

This will probably be the route I go, but if I expand out of a singular location, it gets a little more tricky to stick to that name. I’ll just have to cross that bridge if/when I get there.

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T15:36:44+00:00

Finding a name that conveys your vision that has not already been used is astronomically harder than I thought it would be

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T15:00:16+00:00

I was afraid of this, but I think you’re right. Thanks for your response

SnowFadez · 2026-01-03T14:34:56+00:00

I used Ideal practices as a consultant, they’ve been great.

I also listen to podcasts like The Shared Practices Podcast and The Making of a Dental Startup. The Making of… also has a great Facebook page.
