Website builder for dental practices
Treatments and what they cost, who does them, and an appointment request that holds the time.
Dental websites lose people on price. "Contact us for a consultation" where a number should be is the most common reason someone closes the tab.
Describe the practice and the treatments are built as a real priced list with the clinicians beside them, and appointment requests hold the slot and stop once it's taken.
What they came for
What people want from a dental practice website
Four questions a visitor arrives with. Everything below is what the generated page does about them.
What does a check-up cost?
Price is where dental websites lose people. Treatments are a table with a price and a description each, so "from" pricing is a row rather than a redesign.
Are you taking new patients?
The answer people are hunting for, and it belongs at the top of the page — the announcement bar is there for the month it changes.
Who will be treating me?
The clinicians, with a photograph and a line each. For a practice people are nervous about visiting, that section does real work.
Can I get an appointment?
The request holds the slot against the capacity you set and stops once it's taken, arriving as an email and as a record you can look up.
Common problems
What tends to go wrong on dental practice websites
Three patterns that come up often. None of them is a design problem, and each is a sentence or two of work to fix.
"Contact us for a consultation" where the price should be
Treatment prices are among the most common things patients look for. Without them, the comparison happens on another practice's page.
No answer on whether you're taking NHS patients
Whether the practice is taking NHS patients is a frequent question, and the answer changes. Stating it on the page saves repeating it on the phone.
Nothing for nervous patients
Anxiety is a common reason for delaying an appointment. A couple of sentences on how you work with nervous patients answers it.
What gets built
What a dental practice website needs
The sections Sitemo plans for dentists, in the order it puts them on the page.
The opening screen
The first screen: a photograph of the real place, the name, and the one thing you want a visitor to do next.
Services
What you sell, with prices. A list when there are many, cards with photographs when there are a few.
The facts people decide on
The handful of facts a visitor decides on — walk-ins welcome, open Sundays, free parking, fully insured.
Your story
The short version of why the place exists, in your voice rather than a company profile.
Gallery
The work, the room, the finished job. Laid out as a set, so one good photograph isn't carrying the whole page.
Testimonials
Room for the reviews you already have. Your words from your customers — nothing invented to fill the space.
FAQ
The questions you answer on the phone all day, answered once on the page.
Contact form
An enquiry that reaches you as an email and is kept as a record you can open later.
The ask
The line that asks for the call, the booking or the visit.
Not a fixed list. Sitemo decides which of these your site actually needs from what you describe — a dental practice with four things to sell gets a different page from one with forty.
Underneath the page
And the parts that aren't pages
Most dentists need somewhere to keep this. It comes with the site rather than being a plugin you go and find.
Each one is a table you edit in your dashboard — change a price, add a service, take something off the list — and the published site follows. Bookings hold the slot against the capacity you set and stop accepting once it's full, so the site can't promise a time you can't keep.
The words
The same line, written twice
A general version of a line and a specific one, both about the same length. The difference is how much a visitor can do with it.
General
“Providing exceptional dental care for all the family.”
Specific
“Check-up and hygiene £75. Taking new private patients; NHS list currently closed.”
The second answers the two questions that brought the visitor to the site.
General
“We cater for nervous patients.”
Specific
“If you're anxious, book a ten-minute talk first — no chair, no examination, no charge.”
It describes a concrete first step rather than a reassurance.
The prices and areas above are made-up examples; what is being shown is the shape of the sentence. Yours go in the box below, and the site is written from them.

Questions
Websites for dental practices
- Can patients request an appointment online?
- Yes. The request holds the slot against the capacity you set and stops accepting once it's taken, and each one reaches you by email and is kept as a record you can look up.
- Can I show prices for treatments?
- Yes, and it is worth doing — treatments are a table with a price and a description each, and "from £X" is a row rather than a redesign.
- Can I show the clinicians?
- Yes, with a photograph and a line each. For a practice people are nervous about visiting, it is doing real work.
- Can I show finance or payment plans?
- You can state the plans you offer and what they cost, as rows with their own description. Taking the payment stays with whoever you use for it today.
- Can patients ask for a specific clinician?
- Yes. The request form's fields are yours, so it can ask which clinician and what the appointment is for, and the answers arrive with the booking.
- Is a submission stored securely?
- Submissions are kept as records in your dashboard, scoped to your site — no other site's dashboard can reach them. Choose the fields with care all the same: the safest way to handle clinical detail is not to collect it in a web form.
Where this isn't the right tool
Nothing clinical belongs here: no patient records, no medical histories and no appointment system tied to your practice software. Sitemo builds the public site — treatments, prices, clinicians, hours — and an appointment request that holds a slot and asks only what it needs.
