Dental.me Maps All of American Dentistry: 249,344 Practice Records Ranked by a Score That Can’t Be Bought
A first-of-its-kind national map of 249,344 dental practice records across 56 states and territories — with organic rankings no practice can pay to change.
Figures in this July 22, 2026 announcement count catalogued practice records. Dental.me’s published profile cohort is 245,391 practice profiles carrying an indexable or indexable_basic status — 245,451 including the noindex_sparse and noindex_unconfirmed statuses — across 12,516 city directories, of 249,344 catalogued records (measured August 18, 2026).
Choosing a dentist is one of the most common decisions in American health care — and one of the most confusing. Prices are opaque, specialties blur together, and the “top-rated” listings patients see are too often the ones that paid the most. Dental.me was built to fix that. Today the company published the most comprehensive independent map of American dentistry ever assembled.
The Dental.me National Dental Market Snapshot organizes 249,344 dental practice records across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories — 56 state and territory directories in all — spanning 12,516 city directories, from Manhattan to towns most directories ignore. Profiles are cross-referenced against federal provider records and public business data where a match exists, then ranked by the independent Dental.me Score.
The Score is what sets Dental.me apart from the directories patients have learned to distrust: it cannot be bought. Rankings are built from rating strength, review-count confidence and Dental.me verification; profile completeness is used only to break close comparisons after the score — and no practice can pay to move up the organic list. Dental.me does offer clearly labeled “Featured” placements, but they appear separately and never change a single position in the independent rankings.
“Dental care is the most confusing corner of American health, and patients have been flying blind for decades. We built the map — every practice in the country in one place, ranked by an honest Score, with no way to buy your way to the top. When you can compare dentists as easily as you compare hotels, patients win.”
The July snapshot reveals the shape of the national market. California leads with 38,588 catalogued practice records, followed by Texas (20,293), New York (16,831), Florida (11,025), and Illinois (10,458). At the city level, the largest catalogued markets were New York (2,380), Houston (2,309), and Chicago (2,003), with Los Angeles and Brooklyn close behind. Beyond the generic “dentist” label, Dental.me associates 97,727 of its 245,391 published profiles with a specific specialty — from pediatric dentistry and periodontics to oral surgery and implants — counted exactly as the site’s own specialty pages count them, and holds a Google business listing identifier for 172,598 of the 249,344 catalogued records.
As of October 2026, in just its first four months online, Dental.me has received over 1,000,000 Google impressions, and AI citations of Dental.me are up 2,525% in the last 30 days.
For dental practices, the platform is a free channel to be found accurately. Any practice can claim its profile at no cost, confirm its details, add services and hours, and earn a verification badge that tells patients the information came from the office itself — not a scrape. For patients, researchers, and journalists, the new Dental Market Data hub turns a fragmented industry into something that can finally be searched, compared, and understood.
Dental.me assembles provider registries, business-profile data, practice websites, owner-submitted updates, and user corrections into one canonical profile per office — a living dataset that sharpens as practices claim their listings and patients suggest fixes.
The full national snapshot, state and city rankings, specialty coverage, and methodology are available at the Dental.me Dental Market Data hub.
About Dental.me
Dental.me is a national dentist directory and dental-data platform that helps patients find and compare dental practices by location, provider, specialty, rating, review volume, contact details, and the independent Dental.me Score.

Paid Featured visibility is always labeled and always separate from organic rankings — because the rankings patients rely on should never be for sale.
