Dentist Email Lists in 16 US Cities: What the 2026 Data Shows

How many dentists in New York, Houston, LA and 13 more US cities list an email or lack a website? Live counts from our 30,000-practice pool.

Dental practices are one of the most popular targets for local marketing agencies, software vendors and suppliers: high lifetime value per patient, steady budgets and a lot of competition for search visibility. Before you plan an outreach campaign, it helps to know how big each market really is and how many practices you can actually reach by email. We pulled the numbers for dentists in 16 large US cities from the ToucanLeads pool on 14 November 2026.

The headline numbers

Across the 16 cities we count 30,166 dental practices. About 45% of them have an email address we found on their own website or listing, and almost all of them (98–100% in every city) list a phone number. Between 7% and 26% of practices, depending on the city, have no working website at all.

These figures change as our crawler checks more websites, so treat them as a snapshot. The live counts for each city are always on the list pages, for example Dentists in New York or Dentists in Houston.

What stands out

Houston and Austin have the highest share of practices with an email address, at 52% each. San Francisco has the lowest, at 36%. In practice this means an email-first campaign reaches roughly half the market in Texas cities but only about a third in San Francisco, where phone and LinkedIn will matter more.

Miami stands out for the opposite reason: 26% of its listed dental practices have no working website, the highest share in the group, followed by New York (21%) and Los Angeles (19%). For web design and local SEO agencies, those are the warmest prospects: a practice that patients cannot find or book online is losing them to the practice down the street.

New York is by far the largest market with 6,710 practices, more than the next two cities combined. Smaller markets such as Atlanta, Miami and Las Vegas are better for testing a message: a few hundred well-targeted emails tell you quickly whether your offer works.

How to use these lists well

• Segment before you write: practices without a website need a different pitch from practices with an outdated one.
• Personalise the first line with something real, such as missing opening hours, few reviews or no online booking.
• Send in small daily batches from a warmed-up domain, and include a clear way to opt out.
• Follow the rules: CAN-SPAM applies to commercial email in the US, and some states have extra telemarketing rules for calls.
