What we set out to measure
Who takes your plan, and who can see you outside working hours?
Every dental practice below comes from public licensing and business records, counted whether or not it appears in this site’s directory. The findings are what the numbers came back with, not a view we formed first and then looked for support for.
Open Saturday or Sunday: 42%
That is 26 points above the 16% typical of the 24 other California markets we measure.
Share of dental practices whose published hours include Saturday or Sunday, out of the dental practices whose hours we have on record. Measured over 8 of 19.
Dental practices per 100,000 residents: 15.5
That is 13.9 lower than the 29.4 typical of the 31 other California markets we measure.
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.
No dental practice lists Periodontist
No dental practice in Clovis lists Periodontist, which appears in 27 of the other 29 California markets we measure.
Practices offering each specialty. General dentists handle most routine care; specialists handle referrals such as root canals, braces, and oral surgery.

- 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.
