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 named 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, the scan did not observe your business among the repeat names.
- 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 a stronger observed pattern than appearing in only one system. 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.

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 optimize 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.

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.
