Which dental practices does AI recommend in Las Vegas?
We asked ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity to recommend dental practices in Las Vegas, NV — 6 hiring questions, 18 recorded answers, every one saved. They named 60 different businesses. These are the 12 that came up more than once.
Recommendations were widely spread. The name that came up most, Summerlin Dental Solutions, 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 Las Vegas, NV 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.
- Summerlin Dental Solutions
- Las Vegas Dental Group
- Chenin Orthodontic Group
- Aloha Orthodontics
- Willow Springs Dental
- Most Dental
- Sunbrite Dental
- Sahara Family Dentistry
- Canyon Oral & Facial Surgery
- The Emergency Dentists (Las Vegas Office)
- The Art of Braces
- P&G Orthodontics
Even Summerlin Dental Solutions does not win everything here. It was never named when we asked about a cracked tooth in pain or Invisalign and orthodontics. Those question types returned different names in our sample.
All three assistants agreed on 2 of them
Chenin Orthodontic Group, Aloha Orthodontics were 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 Las Vegas, that happened for 2 businesses.
964 dental offices, and a seventh of Las Vegas uninsured.
Coverage in Las Vegas runs at 86.8%, lower than the study's insured-heavy markets, so a larger share of dentistry here is cash-pay and elective — the segment where patients ask an assistant rather than an insurer's directory. The demand base is 254,769 residents aged 35–64 on a median household income of $70,723; the supply is 964 employer dental offices in Clark County, one per 2,379 residents. The assistants named 60 of them for Las Vegas.
City figures: American Community Survey 2019-2023 5-year estimates, Las Vegas city, Nevada. County figures: County Business Patterns 2023, Clark County; establishment counts include only businesses with paid employees. The two boundaries are different sizes and are never divided into each other.
In Las Vegas, the evidence sits on yelp.com.
This is a record of observed answers, not a paid ranking. In Las Vegas they read yelp.com and healthgrades.com when forming their answers. The industry page explains how we address website and third-party evidence: what we build for dental practices.
For a dental practices business in Las Vegas competing with evidence from yelp.com, Routeless can build the website and connected systems. Inspect the production work.
For Las Vegas, the source cited most was yelp.com.

The assistants disagreed on 4 of 6 questions
Asked the identical question about Las Vegas, 4 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 Las Vegas owner very little about the other two.
11.1% of answers named nobody at all
In 2 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 Las Vegas business won anything.

Method. 6 questions × 3 assistants = 18 answers for Las Vegas, NV 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.
