No single dental marketing company is best for every practice. From their own pages, read on 30 October 2026: Gargle publishes the fullest price list, Titan Web Agency offers month-to-month terms and one practice per market, DocSites is the lowest-cost route to a site plus marketing, PracticeCafe suits start-ups and print, Wonderist leads on tying marketing to collected revenue, and Progressive Dental focuses on implant cases.
Read this with our interest in mind. Gigabit sells dental marketing, so these companies are our competitors. We wrote this page, and it can bring us business. To keep it fair, we say where each one is the better choice, and we hold ourselves to the same questions at the end. No company paid to appear here. We read public pages and terms. We didn't test the services, ask for quotes or talk to clients, so this tells you what they publish, not how well they do the work.
The nine at a glance
| Company | What it says it does | Published price | Contract, as published | Fits best (our judgement) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gargle | Websites, SEO, reviews, social, ads | Full suite $995 or $1,595 a month; ads 25% of ad spend | 12-month minimum, renews yearly | Practices that want one bundle and a clear price list |
| Titan Web Agency | Websites, local SEO, Google Ads, reviews, branding | Local SEO generally from $1,199 a month | Month to month | Practices that want a local exclusive and no lock-in |
| DocSites | Dental and medical websites, marketing packages, AI chat and phone | $1,999 setup + $89 a month; packages $499–$899 a month | No long-term contracts on packages | Tight budgets that need a site and steady posting |
| PracticeCafe | Digital, print, branding, start-up help | SEO $895 a month; PPC from $395; 6-page site $3,980 | Free site offered with a 6- or 12-month SEO contract | Start-ups, and anyone who still mails |
| Wonderist Agency | Websites, SEO, ads, social, video, reporting from practice software | Not in the page text; ask | Billed monthly; no term stated | Owners who want marketing tied to collections |
| Progressive Dental | Implant and full-arch marketing, plus sales training | Not published | 12-month initial term, renews | Practices chasing full-arch cases that want training too |
| Sesame, Henry Schein One | Websites, SEO, social management, consulting | Not published | Not on the page we read | Practices that want a large dental software supplier |
| Ekwa | Done-for-you websites, SEO, social, podcast and video | Not published | Not on the pages we read | Practices building a personal or expert profile |
| TNT Dental | Custom websites, video, marketing | Guide sent after a form | Not on the pages we read | Practices whose main need is a custom site and video |
Treat the last column as a place to start, not a verdict. We also tried Scorpion, My Social Practice, Firegang, PBHS, SmileSavvy, ProSites, Golden Proportions Marketing and RevLocal. Their pages wouldn't load for us that day, so we say nothing about them either way.
What the published prices look like
Only four of the nine publish a monthly price for ongoing marketing, and they don't cover the same work. Use this to get a sense of the range, not to rank them:
Three things sit outside those figures. Ad budgets are extra everywhere, and so is the fee for running them: Gargle charges 25% of ad spend, DocSites $999 to set up Google Ads and then $499 a month, PracticeCafe from $395 a month. Website costs differ: DocSites adds $1,999 setup, and PracticeCafe charges $3,980 for a 6-page site unless you take the free one with an SEO contract. And prices change. PracticeCafe notes that its prices may change and may be lower if you call.
Who each one suits
Gargle
Gargle has the most complete public price list we found, item by item. Its full suite bundles website and SEO, social content and a review programme. Choose it when you want one company and can compare a real number before a sales call. Read the contract closely, though. Its terms set a 12-month minimum that renews each year unless you give 30 days' written notice, and leaving early costs 75% of the remaining balance in the first six months and 50% after that. They also say copyright in the work vests jointly on final payment. A client quote on its membership page says it doesn't lock clients in, so ask which applies to your order.
Titan Web Agency
Titan says it works month to month, that the practice owns what it builds, including the website, content and ad accounts, and that it takes one practice per market. Those are strong terms for an owner. Choose it when you mainly want SEO and Google Ads and care about not sharing an agency with the practice down the road. Its $1,199 is a starting figure that depends on your market and locations, and social isn't in the service list we read.
DocSites
DocSites serves dental and medical practices. It suits a small practice that needs a decent site and some regular SEO and social posts, with packages from $499 a month and no long-term contract on them. It also lists an AI webchat, phone answering and scheduler. Add the $89 monthly maintenance to any package when you compare.
PracticeCafe
PracticeCafe is the one to look at if you're opening a practice, or if mail still works in your area. It covers naming, logos, stationery, postcards and a start-up package as well as digital work, and its menu lets you buy one thing at a time. Choose it when you want parts of the job rather than a full retainer.
Wonderist Agency
Wonderist has a San Diego office and is a sizeable team, 57 people by its own count. What stands out is its reporting, which connects to practice software such as Dentrix, Eaglesoft and Open Dental and follows a lead through to collected revenue. Choose it if you want that proof. A link into your practice software touches patient data, so settle the business associate agreement first. The pages we read don't mention one.
Progressive Dental
Progressive Dental describes itself as one of the first agencies dedicated to implant and full-arch marketing. It pairs marketing with sales training through The Closing Institute. If full-arch cases are your whole growth plan and your team needs help presenting them, a general agency, us included, is not the closer fit. It's also the heavier commitment: its terms set a 12-month initial term that renews, and say management fees stay owed for the full term if you cancel digital marketing early. Two sections read differently on who owns the finished website, so get that clarified in writing. Our implant marketing guide covers what to watch for in the copy.
Sesame, from Henry Schein One
Sesame offers website design, SEO and social management, sold by the company behind Dentrix and Ascend. It suits a practice that wants a big, established supplier and fewer vendors. Ask what actually connects to your software, because the page we read doesn't say, and ask for price and term in writing.
Ekwa
Ekwa is based in Mississauga, Ontario, says it has worked since 2008, and cites more than 850 practices in healthcare. Its dental page lists podcast and video work alongside the usual services, and talks about patients choosing you for the care, not just the insurance network. That suits a dentist building a name. Ask how its work fits your state's advertising rules.
TNT Dental
TNT Dental leads with custom websites, says it doesn't use templates or canned content, and offers video. Choose it when the site itself is the problem and you want it built properly. You'll need to fill in a form to see prices.
HIPAA: what we could and couldn't find
Only two sets of pages we read address it directly. Gargle's terms refer to the HIPAA rules and provide a business associate agreement. Progressive Dental's terms make the client responsible for the website's HIPAA compliance and for testimonial releases. The other pages we read don't mention HIPAA. That isn't proof of a problem, because we didn't read every policy page, but it does mean you should ask. If a company will handle patient information for you, ask for the signed agreement before any data moves. This is general information, not legal advice.
The contract matters more than the proposal
Long terms aren't wrong in themselves, since SEO takes months. But the cost of leaving should be a number you know before you sign. Here's how a remaining-balance clause works, with example figures:
| Monthly fee (example) | $1,000 |
| Contract term (example) | 12 months |
| Months left when you leave (example) | 8 |
| Remaining balance (8 × $1,000) | $8,000 |
| Exit charge at 75% of the balance (example) | $6,000 |
One more check. The ADA Code of Ethics (opinion 4.E.1) says that paying a marketing vendor a set share of the professional fees you collect from patients is fee splitting. A fee based on your ad spend is a different thing, but ask how any "pay per patient" or revenue-share deal really works, and check your state board's rules.
Where Gigabit fits, and where it doesn't
Gigabit's dental work is narrower than most of the list. We answer the calls your front desk misses with an AI receptionist, run recall and reactivation campaigns, and build insurance pages, with SEO and websites as well. Plans start from $499 a month. Choose us when lost calls and overdue patients are the main problem.
Choose someone else if you want social media run for you, paid ads managed, print, or sales training. Those aren't on our dental pages, and several companies above sell them. We also can't show you years of dental case studies on this page, and we name no clients without their written consent. So ask us the same questions you ask them, and get the answers in writing.
