Dental Website Design
Our goal at Marketing Blendz is simple – help our clients grow their businesses.
Engage Patients With Stunning Dental Web Design
The first point of direct contact most of your patients will have with you is through your website. Over 80% of people looking for a healthcare provider – such as dentists – conduct online research before contacting any dental practice.
Most potential patients will follow a simple path in their online research. They will most likely start out by looking up dentists in their area on Google Maps. From there, they will be directed to your online reviews (on Google or another platforms) and from there progress to your website.
Make a Lasting Impression with Modern Dental Website Design
Let’s assume that you have cleared the online reviews and reputation hurdle, and your potential patient is already looking at your website. How much can go wrong from here? Well, actually quite a bit. Because it is as with anything else in life: first impressions matter.
If your website is outdated, not mobile-friendly, or simply not very informative, you may turn away potential patients that would otherwise contact you to get more information about your dental office. After all, a poorly designed and maintained website may reflect poorly on your entire practice.
Simplify Your Website Management with Expert Digital Marketing Support
But setting up and maintaining a website properly is hard and tedious work. It can fill the workload of not only one (digital marketing) specialist, but often two or three. Most dental practices don’t have the resources to entertain a team of that size.
This is where digital marketing agencies can help out. Our Marketing Blendz team is dedicated to improve your website, both in terms of content and design. We focus on a personalized approach, both in terms of web design for dentists as well as the tone of the website’s voice and content. As a result, we build brand credibility for your dental practice and increase your number of leads.
Common Problems Of Dental Website Designs
With the exception of the occasional corner store or mom-and-pop shop, every business has a website. Dental practices are obviously no exception. In fact, websites are an important part in gaining new patients: 82% of people looking for dentists are conducting online research before settling on a new dentist. That means 4 out of 5 new patients will check online reviews – and your website. As a result, dental website design is an important aspect of your online presence.
Your online reviews and reputation is one part (which we handle as well). The other is to ensure that your dental web design is up to par. Anybody dealing with online marketing and dental web design knows that there are way too many bad websites on the internet. Some are outdated, some are simply poorly designed. Here are some of the more common pitfalls in dental office website design.
Your Website Uses a (Basic) Template
Templates are essentially the fast food of websites. There is nothing inherently wrong with them. They are great tools for users, especially bloggers, programming beginners, and even some small businesses. However, an obvious and uninspired template from WordPress, for example, will not impress your potential patients.
A modern dental practice website design conveys that your dental practice is state-of-the-art and therefore ahead of the competition. Considerations range from including features like chatbots and micro animations to basic selections such as colours and fonts. A modern dental practice website design indicates to your potential and existing patients that you are a modern dental practice that goes with the times.
One aspect in web design for dentists however is so important though that it is worth mentioning separately: mobile-friendliness.
Your Website Is Not Mobile-Friendly
Around 60% of global online traffic comes from mobile devices – tendency rising. Search engines have already reacted to the change in user behavior. For example, Google penalizes any website that does not have a mobile version in its organic search results. In other words: if you do not consider this fact into your dental practice website design, you are basically throwing in the towel.
Including responsive web design for dentists in your overall web design is therefore very important. It improves your website’s usability and strengthens your SEO efforts, ultimately increasing your website’s visibility. And better visibility means that more potential patients will find you, leading to, hopefully, more leads and patients.
These are just some of the most common issues of website design for dentists. But fixing those and keeping your website ahead of the curve is labour- and time-intensive. A professional dental website design agency can take at least some of those responsibilities away from your marketing team and help you stay ahead of your competition. Our team at MarketingBlendz is here to do just that.
We will create a customized website for your dental office, following the best dental website design practices. In doing so, we go the extra mile to ensure your website stands out from the sea of competition.
So How Are Our Dental Websites Different From What I Have Right Now?
Building and designing a website is no easy task. Many people and businesses, including dental offices, therefore take advantage of so-called templates. Templates are basically pre-built layouts for websites that can then be customized to fit your personal needs and preferences. The most well-known example would probably be WordPress, though there are many, many more.
The big advantage that these templates provide is that you don’t have to be a website designer or programmer to create something decent and manageable. One problem with these templates though is that they are all very similar, if not basically the same. Your website won’t stand out. There is no soul to it. Like we mentioned earlier: they are essentially the fast food of web design.
At Marketing Blendz, our team is always looking to create a unique website for your dental office. That also means avoiding templates whenever possible. Instead, we are aiming to give your website a personal touch. That is why we put a special emphasis on getting to know your practice and environment.
How Do We Do It?
We consciously go beyond simply putting up content and changing the layout. We strive to give you the best dental website design possible. To do so, we will first need to get to know you and your team. In our initial meeting, we will ask you about your brand, your goals, as well as you personally. By getting to know you, your practice, and the people that work there, we are able to give your website to a personal, authentic touch. After this initial meeting, we will begin drafting the project outline.
The end goal is for your online presence to reflect your personal ‘voice’ and improve your brand’s credibility. Your (potential) patients will notice the extra effort and rank your practice more credible and trustworthy.
Of course, no changes will be made without your approval. Our experts will lead you through the project’s steps, inform you about best practices for dental clinic website design, and a successful (online) marketing campaign. But nothing will be done without your approval. The person ultimately in charge of your dental office website design project is you!

You may ask friends and family for references.
