US Dental Practices
U.S. · 112,228 locations
There are 112,228 Dental Practices in the US as of September 2026. They are in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. California has the most, with 15,805.
112,228 US dental practice locations with street address, phone and the practice's declared specialty. There is no national register of dental PRACTICES — state boards license dentists, not premises — so this has to be assembled, which is exactly why it is worth buying rather than reproducing.
More about this list
The file covers general dentistry, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, periodontics, pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics and dental public health, each tagged so a buyer selling to one specialty is not paying for the rest. One number here is deliberately smaller than it could be: the source enumerates billing entities, and a single office routinely carries several of them — one per owning PLLC, one per specialty line, one left over from an acquisition. The worst address in the raw data carried 22. Those are collapsed to one row per physical location, so 112,228 means 112,228 places you can visit, not 132,801 tax identities. Where several registrations share an address the row says so. Dental is consolidating as fast as veterinary medicine, so distributors, practice-management software vendors, equipment and imaging manufacturers, staffing agencies and the private-equity buyers rolling up practices all segment on exactly this.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?
No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the US Dental Practices and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=dental-practice-list with the filters you need and show you the count and price.
Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.
How assistants ask
No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.
If a question needs filtering, distance, drive time, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.
Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>
Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&drive=<minutes>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>
Leave out what the question does not need. Use radius for straight-line miles or drive for minutes of driving (5 to 60), not both; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.
Links an assistant can open, each showing how many rows match, a few preview rows and the price for just that part:
- The whole list: add a city, state, ZIP code or distance:

Optional: connect for repeat use or wallet payments:
Read https://locationlists.com/skill.md and follow the instructions to connect LocationLists. Then show me the US Dental Practices list.Your assistant will walk you through setup and show you the price before you pay.
For developers
Every step below has a no-connector equivalent: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=dental-practice-list with the same filters as query parameters.
- Connect your agent to
https://locationlists.com/mcp(no key, no signup). - Call
count_locationswithdataset: "dental-practice-list"and any filter — it is free, and returns how many rows match and what they cost. - Fetch the rows with
query_locations: $0.28 per 100 rows from this dataset. Above 56,114 rows, buying the whole file is cheaper.
Paid in USDC over x402 — the agent gets an HTTP 402 with the exact price, signs, and retries. Money moves only after rows are delivered, so a failed or empty query costs nothing. Setup for Claude, Cursor and VS Code
?Frequently Asked Questions
How many Dental Practices are there in the US?
There are 112,228 Dental Practices in the US as of September 2026. They are in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. California has the most, with 15,805.
Why is there no official list of dental practices?
Because state dental boards license individual dentists, not the premises they work in. A handful of states register facilities separately; most do not. So there is no register to download and the practice-level universe has to be built — the same reason a veterinary clinic list has to be assembled.
Is this practices or individual dentists?
Practices. It is built from organization registrations only, which return entities like "Turners Family Dentistry, Ltd", never individual practitioners. We checked that rather than assuming it, because an NPI-derived list returning individual dentists is the obvious way this goes wrong.
Does it say which practices are DSO-owned?
Partly, and we would rather be straight about the limit. About 7% declare a parent organization in the source, and those are named. The rest are blank — which means not declared, NOT independent. A full ownership column means scraping each DSO's own locator, which is on the roadmap. Do not filter for independents on a blank in this column yet.
How complete is it?
A practice that never registered for a provider identifier is absent, and a group that registered one identifier across several offices appears once.
Why not just filter the free CMS NPPES file myself?
You can — it is public, free of license restrictions, and it is where this file comes from. Budget for a roughly 1 GB compressed download and for four transformations that are easy to get wrong: filtering to organization registrations (NPI-2) rather than individual dentists; using the full taxonomy set, including 261QD0000X for dental clinics and 204E00000X for physician-side oral surgery, which a 1223-branch filter misses entirely; reading the practice location rather than the mailing address, which is often a PO box or a billing service; and collapsing the several registrations a single office carries down to one row. That last step alone takes 132,801 registrations to 112,228 real locations. Our guide at /guides/list-of-dental-offices-in-the-us specifies the whole build, including the taxonomy codes, whether you buy the file or not.
How does this compare to Census County Business Patterns or a commercial database like Data Axle?
County Business Patterns (NAICS 621210, Offices of Dentists) is the authoritative count of dental establishments and publishes no names at all, so it is the right way to audit a list's completeness by county and cannot be used to build one. Commercial compilers such as Data Axle do sell one row per office with firmographics NPPES has never held — employee and revenue estimates — but on annual or per-record terms that usually restrict redistribution, and their dental coverage is itself substantially NPPES-derived, so it is not an independent second opinion on the same universe.
