A dental laboratory can buy:
Those are not the same purchase.
- a brochure website;

- lab-management software;
- scanner/file integrations;
- custom production integrations.
Public website scope
A strong acquisition site may include:

Cost driver 1: Service architecture
A serious lab site usually needs more than Our Products.
Dentists search and evaluate by:
Each useful page needs real product and workflow information.
- restorations;
- implants;
- removables;
- full-arch;
- appliances.
Cost driver 2: Scanner and digital workflow content
Compatibility pages can reduce sales friction.
They may require:
- supported scanners;
- account connection steps;
- screenshots;
- technician review;
- ongoing updates as platforms change.
Cost driver 3: Portfolio photography
Dental-lab craftsmanship is visual.
A strong portfolio can require:
That can be a material content-production cost.
- macro photography;
- material labeling;
- de-identification;
- approval;
- image optimization.
Cost driver 4: Turnaround and scheduling guidance
Dentists care about predictable case scheduling.
Useful turnaround content can require:
- product-specific ranges;
- shipping assumptions;
- rush rules;
- review cadence.
Cost driver 5: Dentist enquiry and onboarding
A good B2B form can ask:
That is a different workflow from a general contact form.
- practice;
- services;
- scanner;
- case mix;
- pickup/shipping;
- consultation need.
Cost driver 6: SEO migration
A redesign should preserve useful:
- service/product URLs;
- scanner pages;
- location/coverage pages;
- workflow pages;
- resources;
- backlinks.
Cost driver 7: Secure portal integration
If the project includes a link or handoff to lab software, clarify whether the website scope includes:
Those are specialist integrations, not ordinary website work.
- single sign-on;
- secure portal branding;
- account provisioning;
- clinical file transfer;
- case status.
Compare three buying models
Generic website builder
Lower platform cost.
Higher internal burden for lab-specific copy, scanner workflows, portfolio and SEO.
OneStudio public front office
Useful when the lab wants:
Use current OneStudio pricing for plan pricing.
- owned website;
- enquiries;
- ordinary practice/contact records;
- media/portfolio;
- analytics.
OneStudio + lab-management platform
Often the cleanest architecture.
OneStudio owns:
search/referral → service/workflow proof → new dentist enquiry → ordinary relationship
Lab software owns:
secure case → prescription/scans → production → status → billing/shipping

Questions businesses ask
How much should a dental-lab website cost?
There is no useful universal number without scope. A brochure site, a polished dentist-acquisition site and a secure lab portal are different products.
Should a case portal be included in the website price?
Treat it as a separate specialist scope unless the vendor explicitly includes secure clinical case management.
Does OneStudio replace dental-lab software?
No. OneStudio should remain the public website, enquiry and ordinary client layer.
What does OneStudio's turnkey website service cost?
The current [[turnkey website service|/website]] starts from €249 per project, with the final project price fixed before work begins based on scope.
