40 million views from one UGC reel.

The Chicago Dental Studio wanted content that felt human, not clinical. We produced a fun, trend-driven UGC reel of the team killing time while a patient went numb. It took off, reaching over 40 million views across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

The Challenge

Most dental content looks the same: clean, corporate, and easy to scroll past. The Chicago Dental Studio wanted to show the personality behind the practice and reach far beyond their existing audience with something people would actually share.

Our Approach
01

Trend-Native Concept

We built the reel around a relatable, trending format: the team playing tic-tac-toe to kill time while a patient got numb.

02

Authentic UGC Capture

Filmed in-office with the real team so it read as genuine, native content, not a polished ad.

03

Retention-First Edit

A fast hook and a tight 13-second cut engineered to hold attention. It held 84% average retention on YouTube.

04

Multi-Platform Launch

Published natively to Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok to compound reach across every feed.

Testing the Hook

We didn't leave the hook to chance. We split-tested two on-screen hooks, and both stopped the scroll and carried the reel across platforms.

Variant A

“POV: you’re waiting for the patient to get numb”

Variant B

“when you’re killing time waiting for the patient to get numb”
