Independent measurement · July 2026
The dentists ChatGPT actually recommends.
Patients don't just search anymore — they ask ChatGPT who to see. So we measured the answer. We asked for the best dentist in 15 Florida metros, 5 different ways each — 75 checks in all — and recorded every practice it named.
Only 7.7%
of the 3,568 Florida dentists we benchmarked ever came up. These are the ones patients are told to see.

The big chains don't own the answer.
Corporate dental chains took only about 7% of ChatGPT's recommendations in our benchmark. More than 9 out of 10 went to independent, local practices — the dentists patients are actually told to see. This list is their scoreboard.

Measured, never sold.
No dentist can pay to appear on these lists. A practice ranks here only because ChatGPT actually recommended it when we asked — and practices named more often rank higher. That's the whole formula.
Read the full methodologyCommon questions
How did you measure which Florida dentists ChatGPT recommends?
We asked ChatGPT the questions real patients ask — like "Who is the best dentist near me?" — 5 different ways, and recorded every practice it recommended. Each practice on this list was named in those answers; practices named more often rank higher. We ran 75 checks for this market and compared the answers against the 3,568 Florida practices in our dataset.
Can a dentist pay to be on this list?
No. This list is measured, never sold. A practice appears here only if ChatGPT actually recommended it when we asked. Money cannot buy a place on this list.
What does it mean if a practice is NOT on this list?
It means that when we asked ChatGPT for a dentist in Florida, that practice never came up. That says nothing about the quality of their care — only that patients who ask AI for a recommendation are being sent somewhere else. Most practices haven't shown up in AI answers yet, so the list is short.
How often is this updated?
We re-run the same benchmark quarterly with the same methodology, so practices that improve their AI visibility can appear in the next update. This edition was measured in July 2026.
Are you a Florida dentist?
If your practice isn't on these lists, patients who ask ChatGPT for a dentist are being sent to someone else. Find out where you stand — free.
