Denver, CO · measured July 26, 2026

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.

The measured shortlist

In Denver, the name that came up most was OG Dental.

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.

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 are separate questions with separate winners, and in Denver they are open.

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 on this surface, and in Denver it is currently held by one business.

And 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.

Diorio DDS; University Dental Arts; Branin Center for Dentistry; Rankin & Mingle Dentistry; Wynkoop Dentistry; Arbor Dental Group; Brilliant Family Dentistry; 4th Avenue Family Dentistry; Glenn Family Dentistry; Miller Family Dental; Rodeo Dental & Orthodontics; Hampden Family Dental; River North Modern Dentistry; Belleview Dentist Office; New Day Dentistry; Peak OMS / Dr. Haeman Noori; Smile Now Denver; Denver Dental; Emergency Dental Care USA; Lowry Advanced Dentistry; CU Anschutz Dental First Aid Clinic; Landmark Total Dentistry; Espire Dental; My Cherry Creek Dentist; Raabe Family Dentistry; 5280 Orthodontics; Eberle Orthodontics; Trinity Orthodontics; Owens Orthodontics; Aligned Orthodontics; University Park Family Dental.

How many each assistant would name

  • Google Gemini 27 dental practices named in Denver
  • Perplexity 20 dental practices named in Denver
  • ChatGPT 6 dental practices named in Denver

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.

Where the answers came from

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.

What we would do about it

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.

The rest of the study
