The verdict in three sentences
In Montreal, a professional website for a dental practice commonly costs 8 000 to 35 000+ USD from a local agency and 2 500 to 9 000 USD from a freelancer, based on the 2026 ballpark drawn from public agency rate cards and Clutch agency profiles. Kolonell delivers this type of site on a fixed international grid of 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD, with native French and English copywriting, a project manager reachable during your hours and launch in 3 to 4 weeks. For an English-speaking dentist practising in Montreal, the decision rests on the 3-year total cost, on getting a French version that is genuinely well written, and on owning your domain.
This guide is for English-speaking practice owners and clinic managers in Montreal, the West Island or Westmount who already have quotes on the table and need to compare them.
How much does a dental practice website cost in Montreal in 2026?
Montreal is cheaper than Toronto or Vancouver, but agencies specialised in dental marketing still sell full projects with a maintenance contract. The amounts below are in US dollars, the currency of our grid; Montreal agencies quote in Canadian dollars, so convert at the day's rate. They are prudent ranges drawn from public agency rate cards, freelance platform rates (Upwork, Clutch listings) and minimum project sizes shown on Clutch. They vary with scope.
| Option | 2026 ballpark price | Typical timeline | Usually included | After launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dental-specialised agency | 12 000 to 35 000+ USD | 8 to 14 weeks | design, copywriting, photography, integrated booking | monthly plan, often with a commitment |
| Generalist web agency | 8 000 to 20 000 USD | 6 to 10 weeks | adapted theme, copy partly supplied by you | to be negotiated |
| Montreal freelancer | 2 500 to 9 000 USD | 4 to 10 weeks | design and build, copywriting rarely included | depends on one person |
| Agency hourly rate | 80 to 150 USD per hour | time spent | changes, new pages | billed by the hour |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | complete brochure site in French, contact form | 3 months included |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 900 USD | 3 to 4 weeks | one page per treatment, team, patient FAQ | 3 months included |

What a Montreal dental practice website must get right
French first. Quebec's Charter of the French Language governs the language of commercial websites: your site must be available in French. If you practise mainly in English, the English version is included from Premium, and we write the French natively rather than running it through a machine. Spanish, Arabic or Mandarin pages are supplied by you or quoted separately.
Law 25. In Quebec, Law 25 strengthens obligations on personal information, on top of federal PIPEDA: a clear privacy policy, cookie consent, a designated person in charge. The contact form must not collect medical history, which stays in your clinical software.
Professional advertising. The Ordre des dentistes du Québec regulates advertising by its members. Testimonials, promises of results and before-and-after photos must be checked by the practice before going live. This is not legal advice.
Practical information. Patients look first for emergencies, Saturday hours, metro access and billing: private insurance, direct billing, possible participation in the Canadian Dental Care Plan. These answers must be visible from the home page.
How do you compare quotes without surprises?
Send every provider the same brief and require a written answer on seven points: page list, copywriting included or not, English included or not, booking integration, domain owner, support period, maintenance price. Three red flags: a monthly plan that amounts to renting your site, a domain in the agency's name, and a quote with no schedule. For a firm benchmark, request a free quote with the same brief.

Mini case study
Illustrative example: Dr Walsh runs a four-chair practice in Westmount. She receives a quote at 14 000 USD for the site, plus 200 USD per month for maintenance.
- Local agency over 3 years: 14 000 + (200 × 36) = 21 200 USD.
- Kolonell Growth: 4 900 USD, 3 months of support included, then maintenance quoted on request. If she assumes the same 200 USD per month for 33 months: 4 900 + 6 600 = 11 500 USD.
The estimated gap is 9 700 USD over 3 years. Because she needs both French and English, Premium at 8 900 USD gives 8 900 + (200 × 30) = 14 900 USD, still below the local quote. This is an illustration only: real quotes are what count.
FAQ
How much does a dental practice website cost in Montreal?
In 2026 the ballpark is 8 000 to 35 000+ USD from an agency and 2 500 to 9 000 USD from a freelancer. Kolonell has a fixed price of 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD.

Will the site comply with Law 25?
We deliver a privacy policy, a cookie consent banner and a contact form with no health data. Final sign-off belongs to the practice's person in charge of personal information, and this is not legal advice.
Is online booking included?
Growth and Premium connect the site to your existing booking software. A custom-built booking module is quoted on request.
How long until launch?
