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: 22%
That is 6 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 38 of 174.
Median Google reviews: 104
That is 42 lower than the 146 typical of the 21 other California markets we measure.
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. We could check 99% of Sacramento dental practices for this.
Half of all dental practices sit in 4 of 24 ZIP codes
38 of them are in 95825 alone, out of the 174 we could place.
What this does not tell you
- 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.
