Dental Website Checklist: 15 Things Every Practice Site Needs

A dental website needs to do three things on a phone: load in a couple of seconds, show the phone number and an appointment button without scrolling, and give each treatment its own page.

First screen

  • Practice name, town and what you do, readable in two seconds
  • Tap-to-call phone number
  • “Request an appointment” button
  • Opening hours or a link to them

Pages

  • One page per treatment you want to be found for
  • A new-patient page: first visit, insurance, payment options, forms
  • Team page with real photos and short profiles
  • Contact page with map, parking and hours
  • Emergency information

Trust

  • Link to your Google reviews
  • Photos of your actual office
  • Professional memberships and credentials

Technical

  • Mobile PageSpeed score in the green
  • Name, address and phone identical to your Google Business Profile
  • Dentist schema markup, a sitemap and secure HTTPS

Privacy

Keep medical details out of website forms. Ask for a name, contact details and a preferred time. Add a privacy notice and consent checkbox, and send anything clinical through the HIPAA-compliant system you already use.
