Dental teaching in Newcastle began on 22 April 1895, when six dentists opened a school and hospital on Nelson Street to treat “the necessitous poor”. The school became part of Newcastle University in 1963.
Parts of the city already receive fluoridated water, and a government plan announced in March 2024 would widen the scheme across the North East to a further 1.6 million people.
Three of the four agencies on this page show dental or healthcare work, with offices in Newcastle and Gateshead, and one has been running since 1996. Published monthly retainers run from £1,300 to £2,500.

How We Score Each Agency
Every agency in the main list is based in Newcastle upon Tyne. National dental agencies that work here are shown separately below it. We checked each one’s dental client work, public reviews, published results and terms before adding it, then read every client testimonial we could find. Only agencies that pass these checks are listed, so every DSA Score starts at 80. The other 20 depend on how many of the 100 points below each agency earns: DSA Score = 80 + points earned ÷ 5.
- Profile (up to 80 points). Five factors scored out of 20 each, then scaled to 80:
- Client reviews: a verified rating on Google, Clutch, G2, UpCity, Trustpilot or a similar platform
- Experience: years in business, a named founder or leader, and a dental or healthcare focus
- Client portfolio: how many dental clients the agency names publicly
- Published results: case studies with real figures, such as traffic, leads or revenue
- Transparency: published prices, clear contract terms, and a confirmed website and location
- Client feedback (up to 20 points). What clients actually say, from the testimonials we read on Google, independent review sites and the agency’s own website:
- Independent reviews (6): how many reviews we found that the agency doesn’t control
- Client satisfaction (8): how consistently clients praise the agency, adjusted so a handful of reviews can’t outscore a long track record
- Independent sources (4): how much of the feedback comes from Google and review sites rather than the agency’s own pages
- Dental clients (2): at least one review from a dental practice
- Verification. Client feedback points are reduced when reviews or agency details can’t be verified.
We summarise each client review in our own words and link to the original, so you can read it in full.
Price ranges are a guide based on published rates and typical fees for agencies of a similar profile. Always ask for a written quote.

Dental SEO in Newcastle upon Tyne: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Visionary Marketing's dental SEO retainer cover Google Ads too?
No, ads are priced separately. Dental SEO retainers run £1,300 to £2,500 a month, and Google Ads management starts at £850 a month. Founder Chris Coussons runs the dental SEO work himself from City Quadrant on Waterloo Street. The agency reports 280% more booked patients for a London cosmetic practice. There is no public rating we could verify.
We want online booking on a new site. Who in Newcastle has built that for a clinic?
Edward Robertson. It built Gosforth Physio’s site with online booking integration, and has also built for Blyth Family Dental Practice and Keyes Eyecare. The agency has made websites since 1996 from Generator Studios on Trafalgar Street, with a second office in Darlington. Budget $150 to $199 an hour and $10,000 upwards for a project.
Mira Marketing lists the NHS as a client. Does it bill by the hour?
It says not. Listings show $100 to $149 an hour, but Mira Marketing says it prices work by outcome rather than hours. Its 16-person team does everything in-house at The Media Exchange on Coquet Street. Gavin Edmondson Solicitors saw clicks rise 322% in six months. A free SEO audit comes back in five working days.
Does Mediaworks in Gateshead have the scale for a dental group with several sites?
On scale, yes. Mediaworks runs teams in Gateshead, Leeds, London, Manchester and Edinburgh, and is a Google Premier Partner. Clients include Metro Bank, Dune and Travis Perkins. It has no dental clients named, no published prices and no public rating we could verify. It also built a benchmarking tool called MX: The Digital Performance Index.
None of the four Newcastle agencies has a verified rating. What else can we compare them on?
Published results and prices. Visionary Marketing shows 280% more booked patients for a cosmetic practice and prints its retainers. Mira Marketing shows 322% more clicks for a law firm. Edward Robertson publishes no figures but has built a site for Blyth Family Dental Practice. Mediaworks shows neither dental clients nor figures, which puts it last for most single practices.
