Why some dentists show up and others don’t
Assistants recommend what they can find and cross-check. What tends to help:
- List the practice and each dentist the same way on Google, Healthgrades, Zocdoc and Yelp: one practice name, one address, one phone number, current hours.
- Put the facts patients ask assistants about on your own site in plain text: insurance plans accepted, new-patient openings, emergency visits, sedation options, languages spoken and weekend hours.
- Give each service its own page (implants, clear aligners, pediatric, emergency dentistry) so an assistant can match a specific question to your practice.
- Check what assistants say about you, not only whether they name you. A wrong insurance list or old hours sends a patient elsewhere even when you are recommended.

How we collected this
In October 2026 we asked ChatGPT (gpt-5.6-terra), Gemini (gemini-3.8-flash), Perplexity (perplexity/sonar) and Claude (claude-sonnet-5) the question Who is the best dentist in San Antonio, TX?
3 times each, through each provider’s API with web search turned on, as a new conversation with no account, history or location. A separate model listed the businesses each answer named; we checked every name against the answer’s own text and merged different spellings of the same business. Sources are the sites the engines linked to.
The apps use your location and history, so what you see there can differ. Nothing on this page is a rating or review by Leolens, and no business paid to appear. For how this market compares with the rest, see the October 2026 study.
