UpElevate vs Progressive Dental Marketing

Progressive Dental Marketing is one of the best known names in dental implant marketing, and for good reason. This page lays out where the two approaches genuinely differ, using only what their own site publishes.

The honest answer

Neither of us is right for everyone.

Choose Progressive Dental Marketing if

A practice that wants a single established partner across several treatment categories, and that values in-person events, mentorship and a large training programme as a core part of the relationship.

Choose UpElevate if

A practice that only cares about full-arch case volume, wants the agency carrying the risk in writing, and would rather have a market-exclusive partner than the biggest name in the category.

Straight answers

The questions this raises.

Is Progressive Dental Marketing a good agency?+
They are an established and well-regarded name in this space, with a genuine full-arch focus and a substantial training arm. We would not tell you otherwise. The honest difference is breadth versus concentration. They serve several treatment categories and put significant weight on events and mentorship. We only do full-arch patient acquisition, and we put the money-back guarantee in writing.
Why should we believe a comparison written by a competitor?+
You should not take it on faith, which is why every claim above is sourced from their public website with the date we checked it, and why we write "not stated" rather than guessing whenever something is not published. If you find anything inaccurate, tell us and we will correct it.
Do you offer training like The Closing Institute?+
We offer case-acceptance training for treatment coordinators and doctors, covering consult structure, financing conversations and objection handling. It is a service rather than a conference and mentorship programme, so if large in-person events are what you want, they are the better fit.
