Made for dentistry, open to every registrant

.Dental Domain Registration

When a patient searches for a dentist in DHA, Gulberg or Satellite Town, the address in the results matters. A .dental domain tells them instantly that they have found a dental practice, not a general hospital or a directory. Register yours with WinsHosting, billed in rupees, and build a site patients trust.

Where the .dental extension comes from and what it signals

.dental is a generic top-level domain from the Donuts registry, which now operates as Identity Digital after merging with Afilias. It arrived in the root zone during the first years of ICANN's new gTLD programme, alongside other profession-themed words. It is easy to confuse with .dentist, a separate extension launched by a different registry; both exist, and some practices register the pair.

Unlike some health extensions in other countries, .dental has no licence check at the registry level. Anyone can register one, which keeps the process quick but places responsibility on you to present accurate credentials on the website itself. Patients will look for your qualifications, your registration with the national medical and dental regulator, clinic timings and real photographs of the treatment rooms. A well-built .dental site answers those questions before the patient has to ask.

The name helps because dentistry is a decision people research. Someone considering braces, implants or a root canal treatment compares several clinics, reads reviews and checks prices before calling. A focused address like smilecare.dental or a dentist's own surname followed by .dental is easier to remember during that comparison than a generic name with numbers or abbreviations.

WinsHosting has looked after websites and domains for Pakistani professionals since 2003. You can register the .dental, add web hosting with free SSL and keep everything on one rupee invoice. The earlier version of this page wrongly mentioned the .clinic extension in its text; that is a different product with its own page, and this page is only about .dental.

Moving an existing clinic website to a .dental domain

Switching addresses without losing the patients who already find you on Google.

  1. 1

    Register the new name

    Buy the .dental address and keep the old domain active. Never let the previous name lapse, because patients and other sites still link to it.

  2. 2

    Copy the site across

    Move every page, image and booking form to hosting on the .dental name, keeping the same page paths wherever possible so redirects stay simple.

  3. 3

    Set up 301 redirects

    Redirect each old URL to its matching new page, not just the home page. This passes search value across and keeps bookmarked treatment pages working.

  4. 4

    Update Google listings

    Change the website field on your Google Business Profile, add the new property in Search Console and use its change-of-address tool.

  5. 5

    Refresh printed material

    Replace the address on prescriptions, appointment cards, signboards and WhatsApp business profiles as stock runs out, rather than reprinting everything at once.

What is included with a .dental registration

Each .dental name registered with us includes these features without additional charges.

Booking pages on your .dental

Point book.yourclinic.dental at an online appointment system or a WhatsApp chat link. Patients can choose a time slot from their phone in the evening, when the reception desk is closed and the clinic phone goes unanswered.

DNS settings for a .dental practice

Manage A, CNAME, MX and TXT records yourself to connect practice-management software, email services and your Google Business Profile verification. Changes are made from the client area without contacting support. Updates usually spread across the internet within hours.

.dental names locked by default

A clinic's web address appears on prescriptions, signboards and appointment cards. We lock every .dental against unauthorised transfer, and the authorisation code is available only to the account holder. Unlock it only when you decide to move.

Professional .dental email

Replace a personal Gmail address with appointments@ or dr.name@ on your .dental domain. Patients take emailed reports and treatment plans more seriously when they come from the clinic's own address. Setting up mailboxes takes a few minutes.

Local payment for .dental

Pay through HBL, Bank Alfalah, Standard Chartered, JazzCash, Easypaisa, card or PayPal. Receipts are issued in rupees, which keeps practice accounts simple for your accountant at tax time. No foreign currency charges apply.

Treatments to feature on a .dental clinic site

Patients search for specific procedures. Give each common one its own page.

  • Root canal treatment
  • Dental implants
  • Braces and aligners
  • Teeth whitening
  • Scaling and polishing
  • Crowns and bridges
  • Wisdom tooth removal

.dental Domain Price in Pakistan

The .dental domain price in Pakistan at WinsHosting is Rs 4,500 for the first year, shown in the price box above and taken from our published rate card. Renewal on that card was listed slightly higher, so check the figure on your renewal invoice instead of assuming both years cost the same.

The price includes DNS management, registrar lock and client area access. There is no setup charge. Registration terms run from one to ten years, and most practices choose at least two so the address on prescriptions, appointment cards and signboards cannot lapse unexpectedly.

Premium .dental names reserved by the registry, typically short dictionary words or city names, carry a higher price that the cart displays before payment. Standard names stay at the normal rate.

Clinics can pay through HBL, Bank Alfalah, Standard Chartered, JazzCash, Easypaisa, debit or credit card, or PayPal, and receive a rupee receipt for the practice accounts. If the clinic needs a website straight away, add shared hosting to the order; it includes free SSL, which matters for booking forms where patients enter phone numbers and medical concerns.

If a .dental is not renewed in time, the website, online booking and clinic email stop at once. A grace period usually allows late renewal, then a redemption stage with a restore fee applies. Make sure the registrant email is one the practice checks daily.

Buy .dental Domain Name

To buy a .dental domain name, search for it in the box at the top of this page, add it to the cart, choose a term and pay in rupees. The name is normally active within minutes and can be pointed at a new site or an existing one.

You do not need a PMDC registration number or a clinic licence to place the order; the extension is open to anyone. That openness is the reason to secure your own clinic name early, before a competitor or a fake booking site takes a near-identical address.

Already own a .pk or .com.pk website? You can keep it. Either make the .dental your new main address and redirect old pages one by one with permanent redirects, so search rankings and links carry over, or keep the .com.pk as the corporate site for a dental group and use the .dental for one department or a free check-up camp.

Holding your brand on .pk, .com.pk and .dental closes the most obvious gaps. Use our WHOIS lookup to see what is taken. As a PKNIC accredited registrar, we can register your .com.pk domain and the .dental together, host both on one plan and send a single renewal reminder to your practice manager. Finally, list the clinic's .dental address on prescriptions and appointment cards so patients learn it naturally.

.dental Domain for Dental Clinics

A .dental domain for dental clinics tells patients what the site is about before they open it. In Pakistan many practices are run by one or two dentists who built their reputation through word of mouth; a website lets new patients who search online first see that reputation, along with treatment details, a map pin and opening hours.

Specialists gain even more. Orthodontists, oral surgeons, periodontists and paediatric dentists can make their specialty part of the address, and patients searching for braces or implants find a direct match. Overseas Pakistanis planning treatment during a visit home also research clinics online before they fly.

Use the site to explain fees, payment options and what happens at a first visit. That reduces phone calls and calms nervous patients. Keep patient confidentiality in mind: share before-and-after photographs only with written consent, and never discuss a patient's treatment in public replies to reviews.

Beyond clinics, the wider industry fits the extension: dental laboratories making crowns and dentures, suppliers of instruments and consumables, and institutes running courses for assistants and hygienists. A clinic group with branches in several cities can also use one .dental address and give each branch its own page.

  • General and family dental practices
  • Orthodontic, implant and cosmetic specialists
  • Dental laboratories and technicians
  • Equipment and consumables suppliers

.dental Domain Name Ideas

Good .dental domain name ideas tend to follow one of three patterns. The first uses the clinic name, such as brightsmile.dental. The second uses the dentist's own name, which suits practitioners whose patients follow them personally, for example drayesha.dental. The third combines area and service, as in gulberg.dental or implants-karachi.dental, and helps new patients who do not yet know any clinic names.

Keep it short enough for a signboard and a business card in readable type. Avoid abbreviations only your staff understand, and avoid numbers. If your clinic name is spelled two ways in English, register both and forward one to the other.

Be careful with words that promise outcomes. A name like painless.dental or perfectteeth.dental may sound appealing but sets expectations that are hard to meet and may conflict with professional advertising guidance. Descriptive, factual names age better.

If you plan to open more branches, choose a name that covers the brand rather than a single location. Branch pages can then sit at yourbrand.dental/johar-town and yourbrand.dental/model-town, each with its own address, timings and staff, while the whole site keeps one domain and its search history. Read the final choice aloud once; if it needs explaining, simplify it. Patients who arrive through a page named after a treatment tend to book that treatment, so match names to services.

.dental Domain SEO for Dentists

.dental domain SEO for dentists starts with an honest point: the extension itself gives no ranking boost. Google treats dental content as 'Your Money or Your Life' material and looks for clear signs of expertise before ranking it. Name the dentist who wrote or reviewed each treatment page, list qualifications, and add the date each page was last checked.

Local search matters most for clinics. Link the .dental website to a verified Google Business Profile with exactly the same name, address and phone number. Ask satisfied patients to leave reviews there and reply professionally.

Write pages that answer real questions in plain language: what happens during scaling, how long aligner treatment usually takes, how to care for a child's first teeth. Those pages help patients and are the kind of content AI-generated search summaries draw from when they cite a source. A separate page per treatment works better than one long services list.

Technical basics still count. Patients often look a clinic up on a phone while stuck in traffic. A quick mobile layout, HTTPS on every page and a click-to-call button at the top make it easy to act. If you move from an older .com.pk site, keep the redirects in place permanently so earlier links continue to pass their value.

Professional conduct rules still apply on .dental

A .dental domain does not change what a practice may say in public. Dentists registered with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council should keep website claims factual, avoid promising specific outcomes and show patient photos only with written consent. Listing each dentist's qualifications and registration details is a simple way to build trust with new patients.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a .dental domain in Pakistan?

The current first-year price for a standard .dental in rupees appears in the price box on this page. Renewal is shown on your invoice each year and may be higher than the first-year rate. You can pay with a local bank transfer, JazzCash, Easypaisa, a card or PayPal, and the domain normally becomes active shortly after payment is confirmed.

Do I need to be a registered dentist to buy a .dental domain?

No. The registry does not verify professional qualifications for .dental, so suppliers, labs, publishers and students can register one. However, if you present yourself as a dentist on the website, you must be properly qualified and registered under Pakistani law, and patients and search engines will expect to see those details stated clearly.

What is the difference between .dental and .dentist?

.dental describes the field as a whole and suits clinics, labs and suppliers. .dentist describes a person and is often used by individual practitioners. The two come from different original registries and are priced separately. A clinic that wants full protection of its brand may register both and redirect one to the other.

Can I show treatment prices on my .dental website?

Many clinics publish price ranges for common treatments such as scaling, fillings and whitening, which helps patients plan and reduces calls asking only about cost. Present them as starting prices that depend on examination. Follow any professional guidance on advertising that applies to your registration, and update the figures whenever your charges change.

Is it safe to take patient bookings through a .dental website?

It can be, with care. Use HTTPS, collect only the details needed to book, and store them in a secure system rather than in an email inbox shared by several staff. Avoid asking for detailed medical history on an open web form. Our team can advise on hosting settings that suit a small clinic.

Can a dental college or student society use a .dental domain?

Yes. Dental colleges, alumni groups and student research societies can register a .dental for conference pages, study resources or event registration. Keep the registrant details in the institution's or society's name with a shared email address, so the domain passes smoothly from one batch of office bearers to the next.

Will a .dental address work with Google Business Profile?

Yes. Google Business Profile accepts any valid website address, including new extensions such as .dental. Enter the full address with https in your profile, make sure the clinic name and phone number on the website match the profile exactly, and use the TXT record option in our DNS manager if Google asks you to verify ownership.

Can I register a .dental for a dental supply shop?

Certainly. Equipment and consumables suppliers make up a large part of the dental trade in Pakistan, and a .dental name tells clinic owners immediately that your catalogue is aimed at them. Pair it with an online store on our hosting, list product codes and brands clearly, and add a WhatsApp ordering link for repeat buyers.
