Source: DentalCensus clinic profile snapshot, July 2026. Counts are aggregate research claims, not a public clinic directory.
The citable layer
The numbers behind the commercial questions.
These are the national observations a buyer can quote, compare and use to decide whether a deeper market or account-level view is worth opening.
| Module | Published signal | Scope and method |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical services | 50,000 implant practices; 10,400 all-on-X / full-arch practices | N=103,674 clinic profiles; public/website-derived observations |
| Technology | 3,900 iTero mentions; 4,400 CEREC mentions | N≈101,000 analyzed clinic websites; website-derived |
| Marketing activity | 10,500+ Google Ads; 2,400+ Meta Ads; 2,900+ call tracking | N≈101,000 analyzed clinic websites; website-derived |
| Network structure | 7,100+ affiliated locations across 1,084 DSO networks | US clinic profile snapshot; organization grouping is derived |
| Market coverage | 723 metro markets and 107K regions, including census tracts | US geography layer; regional metrics are derived |
Website-derived detections describe what a clinic source exposed during collection. They do not prove that an unobserved clinic lacks the attribute.
How to read the snapshot
Context is part of the evidence.
A number becomes useful when a team can trace its source, understand its denominator and see what was observed versus computed.
Denominator
Clinic counts use the stated clinic universe. Website detections use the analyzed-website corpus; those denominators are not interchangeable.
Observed vs derived
Website and directory observations remain observed. Organization groupings, cross-signal views and market layers are labeled derived.
Unknown
A missing source signal is unknown, not a negative finding. No public page publishes raw clinic rows, contacts or private evidence.
From coverage to intelligence
The value is in the intersections.
The national layer is the starting point. DentalCensus connects services, technology, marketing, network structure, territory context, contacts and dated movement into customer-specific intelligence models.
Next evidence slices
State reports, contact coverage and market movement.
The next releases add reviewed state aggregates and deeper evidence without publishing raw clinic records or unsupported per-capita claims.

Questions buyers ask
A clear answer before a deeper search.
What does the DentalCensus national coverage snapshot measure?
It describes 103,674 US dental clinics in the DentalCensus clinic profile snapshot, plus website-derived service, technology and marketing signals, DSO affiliation, dated change context and market coverage. It is an aggregate research snapshot, not a list of clinic records.
Are website-derived signals the same as verified absence?
No. A website-derived signal means that a source exposed the attribute during collection. When a source does not expose it, the result remains unknown rather than being counted as no.
How should a team use this coverage snapshot?
Use it to decide which commercial question is worth deeper work: territory planning, service targeting, technology adoption, marketing opportunity, DSO structure or contact intelligence. Move into the product for practice-level search and customer-specific models.
