Best Dental Websites
Discover great dental websites that are utilizing modern dental software to help grow their practices.
It's no secret that a great dental website is a key component to building a successful modern practice. A good website raises awareness of your practice, informs potential customers about your dental services, and streamlines important business processes including new patient acquisition. According to LocalMed, 81% of today's patients want to schedule appointments online, and 38% make appointments when dental offices are closed.
