Why we publish these
Why all of this is free to read
When we researched this market in September 2026 we checked the seven best-known UK dental website companies. Six of them publish no pricing at all, and most keep their genuinely useful material behind an enquiry form or a downloadable PDF that costs you an email address.
There are two reasons to do that. The honest one is that scope varies and a number without context can mislead. The less honest one is that a gated answer generates a lead whether or not the reader ever wanted to speak to you.
We have taken the opposite position for a practical reason as well as a principled one. A page that says “contact us for a quote” is quoted by nobody. When a practice owner asks ChatGPT what a dental website costs in the UK, or what the GDC requires on a practice site, the systems answering that question cite pages that contain an actual answer. Publishing the number is how you get named.
There is a third reason, which is that publishing forces us to be right. A number kept in a sales deck is never checked by anyone. A number on a public page with a date attached gets read by competitors, by practice owners who know the market better than we do, and increasingly by systems that will quote it back to other people. That is a good discipline to be under.
So every figure we have is on one of these pages, dated and sourced. If a guide saves you from hiring us because you can now do the thing yourself, that is a reasonable outcome. Most practice owners who read all of this decide they would rather not spend their evenings on it.
FAQs
About these guides
Are these guides free to read?
Yes, all of them, with nothing gated behind an enquiry form. We publish the numbers because a practice owner should be able to work out a budget without booking a call, and because pages that answer a question with a figure are the ones AI systems quote.
Where do the figures in these guides come from?
Keyword volumes and costs per click are pulled from live search data and dated on the page. Practice counts are claimed Google listings within a fixed radius, counted in September 2026. Regulatory points are taken from the source itself, the GDC Guidance on Advertising, the CQC, the CAP Code and the MHRA, rather than from summaries.
How often are they updated?
We re-check every dated figure at least twice a year. A number labelled September 2026 that is still on the page in 2028 has stopped being a dated estimate and started being a stale claim, so it either gets refreshed or removed.
Can we quote these guides in our own practice material?
Please do, with a link back. If you want a figure checked or expanded for a specific use, ask and we will tell you what sits behind it.
Do you write guides on request?
Often, yes. If there is a question your practice keeps being asked and nobody has answered it properly in the UK, tell us and it is likely to be worth a guide.
How much does a dental website cost in the UK?
Across the UK market a template site runs £500 to £2,000, a professional custom build £1,500 to £6,000, and a bespoke build with integrations £5,000 to £12,000 or more. Ours start at £1,495 and the Practice package is £2,995, plus the £50 a month Essential plan. The full breakdown is in the dental website cost guide above.
