Video idea #1: FAQ video

Dom: So with this video, Mel, what stands out to you?
Mel: I liked the beginning. She asked a question that people are always asking, and they showed that by putting a little clip of an actual patient asking the question. That’s a great example of educational content. If you’re tired of answering FAQs over and over, you can make a video like this. This one was professionally made, but you could literally just grab your phone and say, “Are dental implants painful? Actually, they’re not.”
Shannon: What makes this one really successful is that it addresses one of the biggest barriers to going to the dentist in a non-intimidating way. She’s positioned as an expert and quickly solves a concern.
Dom: Your patients are already giving you the content. Like Mel said, you probably get asked these same questions repeatedly. So not only is this pre-tested content that you know people care about, but now you’ve got a video you can point people to instead of repeating yourself.
Video idea #2: Team-building video

Mel: That’s a fun one. It’s such a great team-building exercise. It just makes you laugh and makes the doctors feel human.
Shannon: I loved it. I instantly fell in love with that one. Dr. J? Loved him. The way he goes, “It’s me, isn’t it?”—you just know he’s approachable. That video makes the whole team look fun and real.
Dom: It immediately shows their personalities. This isn’t a scripted “We treat you like family” video. It shows it.
Mel: You can feel the energy and the team culture. It makes you think, “I want to be there. I want to laugh with them.”
Dom: And the best part is, you don’t need a big crew or fancy equipment. They probably just used an iPhone. It makes creating content a lot less intimidating.
Mel: Honestly, they probably shot that during lunch. Bring in lunch, shoot two videos once a week. That one probably took five or ten minutes max. A few takes, and it ends up building both content and team culture.
Video idea #3: B-Roll Video

Dom: Mel, how would you describe the style of that video?
Mel: That’s a B-roll style video. It’s perfect if you don’t like being on camera. Just grab a few shots of your team waving or your comforts menu. Put some text over it, and boom—great social media content.
Shannon: B-roll means “behind the scenes.” We say it a lot in marketing. It’s how you visually prove what you’re promising. Saying you have a comforts menu is one thing—showing it is better. A few seconds scanning the room, showing the menu, that’s it. And the music adds a vibe too.
Dom: I like to describe B-roll as moving photos. Anything you’d normally take a photo of—just pan across while filming. And what’s great is how flexible these videos are. You’re not locked into a single script—you can reuse them in different ways.
Shannon: Another pro tip: Save trending audio and pair it with your behind-the-scenes B-roll. It’s a super quick way to make content.
Mel: Yeah, build a B-roll library and match it with trending songs. We do that all the time.
Video idea #4: Reviews

Shannon: I loved that one.
Dom: What stood out to you?
Shannon: The fast movement at the beginning pulls you in—like, “What’s going on here?” Then they quickly show five-star reviews. It’s a super effective way to build trust.
Dom: Totally. We used that video as an ad and started getting $5 leads, which is crazy.
Mel: We picked that one ourselves! It really shows how trust and energy can be paired together. The reviews, the music, the vibe—it all just works.
Dom: Yeah. You’re showing social proof in a fun, visual way.
Mel: And the music makes you want to take action. That’s key.
Video idea #5: Green screen video

Mel: That’s a green screen video. She’s standing in front of a photo background while explaining something. It’s another great way to create educational content.
Shannon: Her hook is strong: “Three ways to whiten without sensitivity.” That grabs attention fast.
Dom: A strong hook is everything—it stops the scroll.
Mel: Exactly. The first line in your video has to catch attention in the first three seconds.
Shannon: And we’re always helping doctors become thought leaders. Short, snappy educational videos like this position you as the expert. Especially if you want to attract higher-value patients or promote big-ticket services like sleep apnea treatment.
Dom: And the best part? You don’t need fancy equipment. You can do it with apps. It’s raw, but it works. It builds authority.
Shannon: I love that it’s raw. It complements the polished brand videos we typically do for websites and omnichannel campaigns. That balance of pro + raw content really works together.
Dom: 100%. Alright, thank you both. If you found any value in these ideas, you’re going to love our Omni-Dentist Starter Pack. It’s our actual framework to make our doctors local celebrities—and no, it doesn’t involve TikTok dances.
Mel: What’s in the starter pack? A full calendar of post ideas, video topics you can batch in one day, plug-and-play ad scripts, Canva templates for custom graphics—you name it.
Dom: There’s a lot. And we’ve tested this system ourselves. It led to a 53% boost in new sales and a 90% drop in cost per lead. If you’re running a multi-location dental practice or looking to scale, this content engine is a must.
Shannon: And hey—bonus points if you show us what you’ve made!
Dom: Peace out from Marketly.
