Where records are located
Provider records are concentrated unevenly
The bars compare active NPI-1 records per 10,000 residents. A higher registry rate does not establish shorter waits, broader insurance participation, or more available appointments.
Population scope
Who is included in the population rate?
This report has the smallest population denominator in the 18-county set. More than four-fifths of Yuba County residents live outside the two tracked cities.
The numerator and denominator cover the same named communities. Using the full county population with this partial location count would understate the rate.

- 16,819
- County estimate
- 87,692
- Outside the denominator
- 70,873
What this rate cannot establish
The calculation does not measure appointment capacity, patient travel, office hours, insurance participation, or dentists who serve county residents from another city.
Specialty record
Which dental specialties appear?
All eight records use general-dentistry taxonomies. No specialist record matches Marysville or Wheatland in this snapshot.
These categories come from provider-selected NPPES taxonomies. They are not a count of specialists accepting patients.

Questions about the report
How to read the Yuba County figures
How many dentist records are in Yuba County?
Yuba County has 8 active NPI-1 dental-provider records across the 2 communities in this report. This is a count of individual federal registry records, not dental offices or available appointments.
Why does this report use named communities instead of the full county?
The provider records are assigned to practice-location cities. The rate therefore uses the combined population of those same 2 communities: 16,819 people, or 19.2% of the county estimate.
How many dental practices does the directory cover in Yuba County?
The directory currently has 2 published practice profiles across the communities in this report. Practice profiles and NPI-1 records are separate measures because one office may include several dentists.
Does an NPI record mean a dentist is accepting patients?
No. An active NPI record supports provider and practice-location analysis. It does not establish appointment availability, hours, prices, insurance participation, or whether the dentist still works at that address.
What does a dental HPSA designation show?
A federal dental Health Professional Shortage Area designation identifies a geographic area, population group, or facility that meets HRSA shortage criteria. It is a separate measure from the provider-record counts on this page.
