Sora AI for Social Media
Video content is the king of social media, and for dental practices, it’s one of the best ways to attract new patients, engage with your community, and showcase your services. But let’s be real—creating high-quality videos can be expensive and time-consuming. Plus, staying up to date on the latest TikTok dances is exhausting.
Regardless, videos are wildly popular online—studies show that video content gets 1200% more shares than text and images combined.
That’s where Sora by OpenAI comes in.
Sora is an advanced AI video generator that can create eye-catching, engaging, and even hilarious videos, perfect for social media. While it may not be able to accurately explain dental procedures just yet, it can produce stunning patient experience clips, fun promotional videos, and creative social media content that gets people talking.
So, how can you use AI-generated videos to boost your dental practice’s social media presence? Let’s dive into some creative ways to engage your audience, spark conversations, and make your practice stand out.
