Custom development means the site is shaped by your group, not by a theme you bought

Custom here means the page types, the data model and the integrations are built for how your group actually works. A theme decides in advance that you have one location, one booking button and one team page, and every difference from that becomes a workaround. We start from your offices, your providers, the services each office offers and the systems each front desk already runs, then build the page types those facts require. Nothing is bent to fit a layout somebody else designed for a different business.

Where custom actually pays for itself

It pays in the awkward cases every real group has. A provider who works Tuesdays at one office and Thursdays at another. A service offered at three of your seven locations. An office with a separate surgical suite that takes its own referrals. A location whose Saturday hours change seasonally. On a theme, each of these is a manual note somebody has to remember to update in four places. Built properly, each is a relationship in the data, so the provider page lists both offices, the service page lists the three that offer it, and the finder never sends a patient somewhere the service is not available.

Built around your group's facts: providers linked to offices, services linked to offices, holiday hours per office. Tiffy ties the cards together.

Integrations built once, per office

Group front desks rarely all run the same software, and pretending otherwise is how requests end up in a shared inbox. We connect each office to the destination it actually uses, by API where one exists and through Zapier or Make where it does not, and every request carries the office, the provider and the service as structured fields rather than free text in a message body. If one office migrates to a different practice management system next year, only that office's routing changes and the rest of the group carries on untouched.

Custom without a rebuild every two years

The reason groups end up on themes is the fear that custom work becomes unmaintainable and needs replacing. That happens when custom means a pile of one-off pages. Ours means a small set of page types generated from your records, so growth is data entry rather than development: an eleventh office, a new specialty, a provider who joins. All of it is a revision, included in the monthly fee. There is no rebuild bill in year three, because there is nothing about the site that decays. The design can be refreshed without touching the structure underneath it.

What we will tell you not to build

Custom work invites feature requests, and some of them make a website worse. We will argue against a patient login you do not need, an online payment flow that belongs in your practice management system, a symptom checker of any kind, and any feature that stores clinical detail on a marketing site. We do not build tools that give dental or medical advice, and we will not put outcome claims or success rates on a page. Saying no to those is part of the work, and it keeps the site fast, simple and defensible.

Who it is for

Who custom dental group website development is for

Groups whose offices, systems or services do not fit a standard template: different practice systems per office, referral routes, specialty mixes.

  • Groups with two or more practice management systems
  • Specialty groups with referral intake
  • Groups with unusual office schedules or rotating providers

How the work is done

From order to live, step by step

The same four steps for every service. The only thing paid before launch is the first month.

  1. Day 0

    Pay the first monthly invoice

    Pick a plan and pay the first month. That is the whole commitment; the $797 build fee waits until your site is live.

  2. Day 1

    One onboarding call

    Thirty minutes with your operations lead: offices, providers, services, brand, where each office's requests should go, and hub or one site per location.

  3. Build

    We build

    We design the site, write the pages, configure the finder for each office and connect each front desk. You review, we revise.

  4. Day 7 to 15

    Live, then the build fee

    Your site goes live in 7, 10 or 15 days depending on the plan. Only then is the $797 build fee invoiced. Weekly updates start the same week.

Timeline

How long it takes

Counted from the onboarding call, not from purchase. Revisions after launch are completed within 2 to 5 working days.

  • 10 daysOperatory Suite everything, plus the ai engine
  • 15 daysGroup everything, plus the content engine

Cost

What custom dental group website development costs, and what drives it

Custom integrations per office are inside the plan. Usage-based costs such as AI minutes on the AI Engine are billed at cost; nothing else is metered.

Every line on the pricing page

What changes the price

  • The plan: Chairside $137/ month, Operatory Suite $297/ month + usage, Group $747/ month.
  • The one-time $797 build fee, invoiced after launch, charged once per group.
  • Extra revisions beyond 5 a month, $20 each.
  • AI usage on Operatory Suite, billed monthly at cost with no minimum.
  • Not the number of offices, pages or providers. The fee is per group.

Out of scope

What custom dental group website development does not include

So nobody is surprised after ordering. Each of these is a deliberate line, not an upsell waiting to happen.

  • Clinical content we would have to vouch for

    We do not write treatment recommendations, success rates, outcome claims or before-and-after captions. Your clinicians own every statement about care.

  • Patient health information in web forms

    Request forms ask for a name, contact details, the office, the service and a preferred time. Medical history, insurance IDs and consent forms stay in your own intake system, never on the website.

  • Paid ad management

    We build pages that are fast and relevant enough to be good landing pages for your ads. Running and bidding on the campaigns themselves stays with you or your ads partner.

  • Your practice management system

    We route requests into the system or CRM each office already uses, by API, Zapier or Make. We do not sell, host or administer the practice software itself.

  • Photography shoots

    We use the office and team photos you own and have consent to publish, sized for their slots. Where you have none yet we use neutral, non-clinical images until yours arrive.

  • Per-office fees or hourly billing

    There are none. One fee covers every office in the group; extra revisions beyond 5 a month are a flat $20 each.

Reviews

What groups say about custom dental group website development

  • We expected a prettier website; what we actually use every day is the new form. It collects preferred office, visit reason and callback number up front, so the back-and-forth we used to do by reply has largely gone. Most mornings I can prepare for the callback from the first message alone.

    Got Inquiry form and response workflow for dental office selection

    Miles SelwynPractice owner, Suburban family dental clinic
    Green Bay, Wisconsin
  • The idea that visitors could sort themselves before writing seemed obvious only in hindsight. The sender picks the route, which means the best-informed person does the sorting. The morning triage is minutes rather than an hour.

    Got Inquiry categories and guided navigation for dental office selection

    Theodora BlakelyFront desk coordinator, Cosmetic and restorative dental practice
    Salem, Oregon
  • We approved the new dental office selection form only after trying hard to break it. Labels stay put, errors explain themselves, and valid answers survive a failed attempt. It behaves the way we assumed forms behaved, until we tested the old one.

Built in, not bolted on

Compliance built into the site

A dental website carries obligations a brochure site does not. These ship with every plan, written for your practice and reviewed by you before launch.

These pages and practices help you meet common US requirements for a dental practice website. They are not legal advice, and we recommend your own counsel reviews the policies before launch. We are not a dental practice, dental group, dentist or healthcare provider, and we are not a law firm.

  • Privacy policy and terms

    A privacy policy and site terms written around what your site actually collects, drafted for your review and your counsel's sign-off. Built with state privacy laws such as the CCPA in California in mind.

  • Cookie policy with consent that really gates scripts

    Analytics and marketing tags load only after a visitor agrees, and the cookie policy lists what the consent banner controls.

  • Accessibility statement and an accessible build

    Real contrast ratios, visible focus states, keyboard navigation and alt text, built with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and WCAG 2.2 AA in mind, plus a statement telling patients how to report a problem.

  • No patient health information in forms

    Request forms are designed not to collect health information. That keeps the website out of your HIPAA scope as far as a website can be, while your intake system handles records.

  • SMS consent wording

    Where a form or the AI Engine sends texts, consent wording sits next to the phone field, and we file the A2P 10DLC carrier registration for you on plans with the AI Engine.

  • General-information disclaimers

    Service pages and articles say they are general information, not a diagnosis or treatment plan, and send patients to your providers for anything about their own care.

Risk reversal

The guarantees behind custom dental group website development

Each promise is written with its condition in plain sight, so nothing is discovered after the invoice.

  • Build fee only after you approve the live site

    The $797 one-time build fee is invoiced after launch, once you have seen the site live and are happy with it.

    Condition The first monthly fee is paid up front to start the plan.

  • 90+ PageSpeed, held

    Every page we build scores at or above the target on mobile and desktop at launch.

    Condition If a page drops below it because of our work, we fix it at no charge and it does not use a revision.

  • Local rankings within 3 to 5 months

    The site starts ranking for local searches in your area within the window.

    Condition If it has not, we keep working on it at no charge. We never promise a specific position.

Questions about custom dental group website development

How is this different from your standard build?

It is the same build. Every ChairsideWeb site is custom-coded around the group it is for; there is no template tier and no premium tier for custom work. The plans differ by what runs alongside the site, which is the AI Engine and the Content Engine.

Can you integrate with our practice management system?

In most cases yes, by API where the system exposes one and through Zapier or Make where it does not. Tell us the systems in use per office on the onboarding call and we will confirm the route for each before the build starts.

What if two offices use different systems?

That is the normal case and it is handled per office. Each front desk keeps its own destination, and a migration at one office changes only that office's routing.

Do you build patient portals or take payments?

No. Those belong in your practice management software, which is built to hold clinical and financial records. The website hands requests to those systems and does not store clinical detail.

How long does a custom group build take?

Live in 7 days on Chairside, 10 on Operatory Suite and 15 on Group, measured from the onboarding call rather than from purchase. The one-time build fee is invoiced only after launch.

Can the AI receptionist route calls to different systems per office?

Yes, on Operatory Suite and Group. The AI Engine is configured per office, with each office's own greeting, providers and booking destination.

Do you store patient data on the website?

No. Forms are designed not to collect health information, and requests are passed through to your own systems rather than stored on the site.

Can we change an integration later?

Yes. If one office moves to a new system, only that office's routing changes, as a revision.
