Which dental practices does AI recommend in Denver?
We asked ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity to recommend dental practices in Denver, CO — 6 hiring questions, 18 recorded answers, every one saved. They named 43 different businesses. These are the 12 that came up more than once.
Recommendations were widely spread. The name that came up most, OG Dental, still appeared in only 4 of 18 answers.
Definition: openness measures how spread out the business names were in these 18 answers. Higher means more dispersed; lower means more concentrated. It is not market saturation, demand, or a quality score.
The 12 dental practices that came up more than once.
Ordered by how many of the 18 answers named them. This is not a ranking of quality and none of these are our clients — it is a record of who three assistants surfaced for Denver, CO on July 26, 2026. If you are one of the dental practices in this market and you are not on this list, that is the gap.
- OG Dental
- Metropolitan Dental Care
- Emergency Dental of Denver
- Corson Dentistry
- Thomas E Ouellette, DDS, PC
- Denver Health Dental Clinics
- Altura Periodontics & Dental Implants
- Colorado Oral Surgery / Dr. Gregg Lurcott
- Dental & Implant Centers of Colorado (DICC)
- Mile High Denture & Implant Centers
- Urgent Dental of Denver
- Dietmeier Orthodontics
Even OG Dental does not win everything here. It was never named when we asked about dental implants or a cracked tooth in pain. Those question types returned different names in our sample.
All three assistants agreed on 1 of them
Emergency Dental of Denver was named by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity alike. Agreement across three systems that read different sources is the strongest position available in this sample. In Denver, that happened for one business.
91.2% insured: Denver dentistry runs on coverage.
Denver has one of the higher coverage rates in this study — 91.2% of 713,734 residents — which makes demand steady, insurer-routed, and heavily comparison-shopped. 271,657 residents sit in the 35–64 bracket where restorative work concentrates. Denver County answers with 370 employer dental offices, one per 1,929 county residents; the 43 practices the assistants named for Denver are a sliver of that field, which is precisely what makes the sliver valuable.
City figures: American Community Survey 2019-2023 5-year estimates, Denver city, Colorado. County figures: County Business Patterns 2023, Denver County; establishment counts include only businesses with paid employees. The two boundaries are different sizes and are never divided into each other.
In Denver, the evidence sits on toprateddentist.com.
None of this is a ranking you can buy into. The assistants named whoever was easiest to verify and safest to repeat, and in Denver they read toprateddentist.com and opencare.com to decide it. Fixing that is the same work in every market, so it is written up once: what we build for dental practices.
For Denver, the source cited most was toprateddentist.com.
All three assistants searched the web before answering and cited what they read. Across the Denver, CO answers they cited 136 sources. These are the ones they leaned on most — the pages actually deciding which dental practices get named here:
- toprateddentist.com8
- opencare.com5
- denverhealth.org5
- zocdoc.com4
- yelp.com4
- branincenter.dental3
- smilegeneration.com3
- healthgrades.com3
- emergencydentalofdenver.com3
- urgentdentalofdenver.com3
- emergencydentalofamerica.com3
- dioriodds.com2
- reddit.com2
- localpicks.ai2
- biglove.to2
- brilliantfamilydentistry.com2
- 4thavenuefamilydentistry.com2
- glennfamilydentistry.com2
- ogdentaldenver.com2
- deltadental.com2
Directories accounted for only 15.4% of the Denver citations; the rest came from businesses' own sites and local coverage. That is the better position to be in, because the page deciding the answer is one you control rather than one you have to petition to update.
Everything else the Denver scan turned up.
31 more were named exactly once
These came up in a single answer, from a single assistant, and never again across the other 17. That is the honest shape of Denver: a handful of businesses named repeatedly, and a long tail mentioned once by chance. Visibility that appears here and nowhere above will not survive the next re-run.

The assistants disagreed on 3 of 6 questions
Asked the identical question about Denver, 3 of 6 comparisons produced no shared business at all — three assistants, three separate shortlists. There is no single "AI answer" for this market to optimise against, which is why being named by one assistant tells a Denver owner very little about the other two.
22.2% of answers named nobody at all
In 4 of 18 answers the assistant declined to recommend anyone and pointed the buyer at a directory or a list of things to check instead. Those are answers where no Denver business won anything.
Same questions, other markets.

Method. 6 questions × 3 assistants = 18 answers for Denver, CO alone, collected July 26, 2026 from ChatGPT (gpt-5-mini), Google Gemini (gemini-flash-latest), Perplexity (sonar), with web search enabled because that is what a buyer's app does. Names were resolved across spelling variants first, so one company spelled three ways counts once. Assistants are non-deterministic; this is one dated run, not a standing ranking.
