The Full Arch Growth Show

Most full-arch practices treat SEO as the thing you do when you can't afford ads. Seth Morrisey has spent fifteen years proving that backwards.

In this episode Chelsea Morrisey sits down with Seth Morrisey, who runs search for The Implant Engine's client base, to talk about where organic search actually sits for a full-arch practice in 2026 — what still works, what agencies are still selling that does nothing, and what changes now that patients are asking AI models who the best implant provider near them is.

This one is practical. Seth covers where the clicks really go on a local search result, why your website is a conversion tool rather than a ranking tool, what Google's standards for medical content mean for the blog posts sitting on your site right now, and the one piece of the job no agency can do for you.

What you'll get out of it:

- Why the Google three-pack matters more than your homepage ranking
- What a full-arch patient actually does between seeing your ad and booking
- The blog content that is actively hurting your ability to rank
- How to get cited by AI models — and the pricing tip almost no practice
will act on
- What $500-a-month SEO is really buying you
- Why cutting one ad channel moved results on a channel nobody was watching

Most full arch doctors think the bottleneck is clinical. Dr. Ryan has

scaled full arch across multiple markets, and he says the surgery was

never the hard part.

He runs NuSet Dental Implants and Oral Surgery, holds both a DDS and an

MD, and buys small oral surgery practices rather than building expensive

implant centers. He walks Chelsea Morrisey through the acquisition model, the market math he used to size the opportunity, the office that beat him, and the one system he says took the guesswork out of lead

conversion.

If your phones are ringing and your consults are not converting, this

is the conversation.

Char Watson has spent 15 years in dentistry — receptionist, office manager, regional manager, and now fractional Director of Operations for full-arch practices.

In this episode she explains why full arch behaves like a separate business inside your practice, and what breaks when you treat it as a service line.

You'll learn:

✅ The three levers she pulls before she looks at marketing

✅ Why her strongest treatment coordinators came from outside dentistry

✅ The 30 / 60 / 90-day runway for training a TC to close at 35–40%

✅ The one-page follow-up document that keeps cases alive for months

The national average for full arch case acceptance is 20%. Stacy Farley's is 75%.

She didn't get there with better leads or a bigger ad budget. She got there by throwing out everything the industry taught about how a consult is supposed to run — and replacing it with a sales framework that actually works.

Stacy is the founder of Full Arch Sales Experts and helped build the largest single-owned implant center in the country. $8M a year. 40–50 arches a month. One location. And she did it not as a clinician — but as a closer.

In this episode she breaks down exactly why most practices are losing cases they should be winning, and what to do about it.

You'll learn:

Why the doctor should never talk money — and what the research says about trust and financial conflict of interest

The broken consult flow everyone copied from Clear Choice (and why it's killing your close rate)

The 8-step framework Stacy uses to go from greeting to signed treatment plan

How to sell the outcome, not the procedure — and why "we provide teeth" is the wrong answer

What to look for when hiring or identifying a TC who can actually close full arch cases

How to structure TC comp so it drives growth without putting the practice at risk

This is the episode your treatment coordinator needs to watch.

  Featuring: @spencermwalker
  

Dr. Spencer Ross is a solo general dentist in rural Maine who placed his first implant as a dental school sophomore and has since turned a GP practice he bought during COVID into a full-arch implant center doing cases at least once a week. In 11 months of advertising with The Implant Engine, he generated $633,000 in full-arch revenue on $52,000 in ad spend — a 12x return — while still running a full GP schedule. In this conversation, Dr. Ross breaks down exactly how he made room for full arch inside a busy general practice, why he believes most GPs are underestimating both the opportunity and the risk in this space, and what the advertising and lead-management process actually looks like from the inside.

IN THIS EPISODE

• How a solo GP went from 2–3 weeks booked out to 2.5–3 months booked out in under a year — and what that scheduling shift actually required.
• Why blocking half a day per week for full arch is the operational move most GPs resist, and how Dr. Ross got comfortable making it.
• The team reality: neither of his two dental assistants had implant experience when he started. Both are in their early 50s. He trained them himself — and they picked up everything.
• "Winter is coming" — Dr. Ross on why the full arch space is filling up with undertrained GPs, what a failed case actually costs a patient, and what proper training commitment looks like before entering the field.
• What working with The Implant Engine's call center and lead platform looks like for a busy GP who can't hand lead follow-up to his front office — and why it was the piece he couldn't have done without.
