Dental Website Design Cost – What Dentists Should Expect

Real expectations for dentists in 2025 - 2026

If you’re a dentist planning to build or update your website, understanding the real dental website design cost is essential. But between budget builders, flashy agencies, and templated quick fixes, prices can vary wildly — and it’s not always clear why.

At AlignMedia, we’ve worked with associate dentists, squat practices and multi-location clinics across the UK. We’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what you should expect to pay for a professional website that brings in patients.

This guide gives you a clear picture of what goes into the cost of a dental website, what’s worth your investment, and what to avoid.

What is the average dental website cost?

Here’s a breakdown of realistic costs for dental website design in the UK:

Type of website Price range What’s included
Personal brand website £1,500 – £2,500 Up to 10 pages, responsive design, booking system, content writing
Dental practice website £4,000 – £6,000+ Full custom design, unlimited pages, SEO setup, reviews, GMB, analytics
Dental website hosting £25 – £50/month Fast UK servers, security, SSL, maintenance, updates, support

👉 You can estimate your own costs using our website cost calculator — including 0% deposit and flexible monthly payments.

The importance of choosing a designer that understands dentistry

It’s not just about how your website looks — it’s about ongoing support, clear communication, and understanding what makes a dental website work. You’re not selling coffee. You’re selling trust. And your website needs to reflect that — from the first click to the final booking.

What you’re really paying for

1. A website that reflects your practice

Your practice deserves more than a template. We design patient-first websites that are clean, fast, and built to turn clicks into confirmed bookings.

  • Mobile-first approach: Over 80% of dental patients book from their phone.
  • Built around your audience: Family, cosmetic, NHS or squat.
  • Trust-focused UX: Speed, CTAs, reviews, and security built in.

2. Content that builds confidence

Patients want to know who’s behind the mask. Our content highlights your team, your treatments, and your ethos — in a tone that feels honest, not salesy.

  • Copywriting included (or we edit your drafts)
  • GDC-compliant team and treatment info
  • Strategic CTA to increase the number of leads

3. Support that doesn't disappear

We don’t use ticket systems. When you need help — before, during or after launch — we’re here.

  • Direct access to your project team
  • Ongoing edits and content updates
  • Help with hosting, domain, analytics and more

4. A website that actually performs

A pretty website that doesn’t convert isn’t just frustrating — it’s expensive. Our websites are built to be seen, trusted, and booked from.

  • Optimised for local SEO
  • Integrated with reviews, booking, and GMB
  • Built to convert, not just look good

Dental website hosting and ongoing support

A great website doesn’t stop at launch. It needs to stay fast, secure and online — 24/7.

With our dental website hosting, you get:

  • Fast UK-based servers
  • SSL certificates and encryption
  • Daily backups and uptime monitoring
  • Security protection and updates
  • Ongoing support — no ticket systems, no vanishing developers

You shouldn’t have to chase updates or worry about plugin errors. We handle all of that so your site stays solid in the background.

Why you need a dental website — not just any website

A generic website might save you money upfront, but it can cost you hundreds of leads over time.

Here’s why a dental-specific website is worth it:

  • Patients judge fast – 75% of users decide how trustworthy you are based on your website.
  • Mobile matters – 80% of patients book from their phone. If your site’s slow or clunky, they’ll leave.
  • Dental trust signals – GDC compliance, team photos, reviews, and clear treatment info build trust fast.
  • You’re being compared – Patients shop around. A basic or templated website won’t hold their attention.
  • Lost leads = lost revenue – A weak website might convert 0.5%. A well-built one can convert 3–5%. That’s up to 10x more patients from the same traffic.

A “cheap” site could cost you hundreds of new patients a year.

A dental website isn’t just about looking nice. It’s about converting interest into bookings — and making sure your online presence matches the standard of care you deliver.

What makes the best dental websites?

The best dental websites share a few things in common:

  • Clear branding and message
  • Mobile-first, fast-loading design
  • Easy-to-use navigation
  • Clear CTAs (calls to action)
  • Good SEO structure
  • Live trust signals like reviews and testimonials

Our award-nominated site for EverySmile was a finalist for Website of the Year — and every build since has raised the bar even higher.

Questions dental practice owners might ask

How much does a dental website really cost?

Most dentists can expect to invest between £1,500 and £6,000, depending on the scope and features. Don’t just look at the upfront cost — consider what will actually deliver results.

Our dental website hosting includes secure UK servers, daily backups, maintenance, support and updates — all starting from £50/month.

Yes. Templates often slow you down in the long run. A custom website is faster, better optimised for SEO, and speaks directly to your patients. It reflects your practice, not just your budget.

Most projects take 3–4 weeks. That includes strategy, design, content, testing and launch. The more timely your feedback, the smoother the process.

We do. As a full-service dental marketing agency, we offer SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, social media management and automation via GoHighLevel.
