Methodology and sources

What this report counts

Provider counts come from active CMS NPPES NPI-1 records with a dental taxonomy beginning 1223 and a practice-location address in one of the communities shown. An NPI is counted once per community. The source snapshot was collected September 15, 2026.

Population denominators use California Department of Finance January 1, 2026 estimates for incorporated cities and the 2020 Census population stored in the market catalog for census-designated places. The county context figure comes from the 2026 Department of Finance E-1 estimate.

Directory practice counts come from published Central Valley Dentists office profiles and are shown for navigation only. They are not used in the provider rate. HPSA counts come from the HRSA dental designation listing dated September 1, 2026.

Questions about the report

How to read these figures

How many dentists are listed in Yolo County?
This report counts 159 active NPI-1 dental-provider records across 4 tracked communities in Yolo County. It is a provider-record census, not a count of offices, appointments, or professionally active dentists.
What does the rate per 10,000 residents measure?
The rate divides active NPI-1 dental-provider records by the combined population of the 4 communities shown in the table, then multiplies by 10,000. It does not use the full county population because the NPPES rows are assigned to the named communities in this report.
Does an NPI record mean a dentist is accepting patients?
No. NPPES is a federal provider registry. An active record can support identity and location analysis, but it does not establish current appointment availability, insurance participation, or hours.
Why is the directory practice count different?
The directory counts reviewed office profiles. The workforce table counts individual NPI-1 dental-provider records. One office can include several dentists, and an individual dentist can work at more than one office.
