What we set out to measure
Who takes your plan, and who can see you outside working hours?

Dental practices counted here divided by the town's own population, expressed per 100,000 residents. Dental practices are counted where they sit, and people routinely drive to the next town, so a town centre surrounded by suburbs reads high and the suburbs read low. Read it as how concentrated dental practices are in this town, not how easy it is for residents to be seen.
Half of all dental practices sit in 10 of 39 ZIP codes
26 of them are in 89117 alone, out of the 341 we could place.
What this does not tell you
- Insurance figures describe what offices publish, not what they will accept. Confirm your own plan with the office before you book.
- Counts say nothing about price, wait time, or whether an office is taking new patients.
- A group practice with six dentists and a solo office each count as one.
