What stands out

These come out of the numbers rather than from any judgement we made. Each one either compares Fresno with the other markets we track or points to something uncommon in the Fresno data itself.

  • General dentist accounts for 84% of Fresno dental practices we could classify.
  • Only 2 of 156 dental practices in Fresno list Prosthodontist.

How Fresno compares

Each bar shows Fresno against the middle value across the other markets we measure. A measure with nothing to compare against is left out rather than compared to itself.

Held back for now

We have this detail for 33% of the records here, which is too few to describe the whole area.

How these numbers were produced

Counts come from public records for every dental practice in this area, whether or not it appears in our directory. That gap is the point: a directory that reports only on itself tells you nothing you could not see by browsing it.

Per-resident figures use a population of 543,615 from the Census Bureau (acs5-2023).

  • Insurance figures describe what offices publish, not what they will accept. Confirm your own plan with the office before you book.
  • Counts say nothing about price, wait time, or whether an office is taking new patients.
  • A group practice with six dentists and a solo office each count as one.

What each figure means

Dental practices counted
Every dental practice in the underlying public registry for this area, whether or not it has a profile on this site.
Dental practices per 100,000 residents
Dental practices counted here divided by the town's own population, expressed per 100,000 residents. Dental practices are counted where they sit, and people routinely drive to the next town, so a town centre surrounded by suburbs reads high and the suburbs read low. Read it as how concentrated dental practices are in this town, not how easy it is for residents to be seen.
ZIP codes with at least one dental practice
How many distinct ZIP codes in this area have at least one dental practice in the registry. A low number next to a high count means the dental practices sit close together.
Dental practices with a website
Share of dental practices with a working website on record, out of the dental practices whose contact details we have checked.
Open Saturday or Sunday
Share of dental practices whose published hours include Saturday or Sunday, out of the dental practices whose hours we have on record.
Open past 6pm on a weekday
Share of dental practices whose published hours run past 6pm on at least one weekday, out of the dental practices whose hours we have on record.
Median Google rating
The middle Google rating among dental practices that have one. Ratings come from Google and reflect reviewer opinion, not any assessment by this site.
Median Google reviews
The middle number of Google reviews among dental practices that have any. A low median usually means a market of smaller or newer dental practices.
Dental practices with more than one provider
Share of dental practices with more than one licensed provider on record. Solo dental practices often have narrower hours and longer waits for a first appointment.
Dental specialties
Practices offering each specialty. General dentists handle most routine care; specialists handle referrals such as root canals, braces, and oral surgery.
Insurance accepted
Practices listing each insurer, out of those whose insurance information we have on record. Always confirm your specific plan with the office.
