Why your dental practice needs a website
Patients choose a dentist the same way they choose a restaurant -- they search online, look at a few options, and go with whoever feels the most trustworthy and convenient. Your website is where that decision happens. A clean, professional site with clear information about your services, team, and insurance options can be the difference between a new patient and a missed opportunity.
Dental websites need to do something most business sites do not: reduce anxiety. Many patients are nervous about dental visits. This template uses calming colors, a reassuring design, and clear language to put visitors at ease. Team photos with credentials, a welcoming tone, and straightforward service descriptions all help build the trust that gets a patient to pick up the phone.
Whether you are a solo practitioner, a family dental office, or a multi-specialty clinic, this template covers the essentials. Service categories, team profiles, new patient information, insurance details, and a contact form -- all structured to help patients find what they need and book an appointment.

What pages should a dental website have?
A homepage that establishes trust and shows your team, a services page organized by category (preventive, cosmetic, restorative, emergency), a team page with dentist credentials and photos, and a contact page with scheduling options. A new patient section with forms, insurance information, and what to expect on the first visit is also highly valuable.
How do dental practices get new patients from Google?
Google Business Profile is critical -- most dental searches are local ("dentist near me"). Keep your profile complete with photos, hours, services, and insurance accepted. Collect patient reviews consistently. On your website, include pages for specific services like "teeth whitening" or "dental implants" to capture patients searching for those treatments.
Should a dental website list insurance plans accepted?
Yes. Insurance compatibility is one of the top factors patients use to choose a dentist. List every insurance plan you accept on a dedicated page or in your contact section. This also helps you rank for searches like "dentist that accepts Delta Dental" in your area.
How important are before/after photos on a dental website?
For cosmetic services like veneers, whitening, and Invisalign, before/after photos are extremely persuasive. They show real results and help patients visualize their own outcome. Even a small gallery of transformations can significantly increase inquiries for elective procedures.
