Denture Specialist Density by City and State (NPI Register)

Data read September 29, 2026

The practice finder lists what the federal NPI register says about 245 cities in 50 states and DC: 2655 denture specialists, 4347 oral and maxillofacial surgeons and 30,714 registered dental organizations, read September 28–29, 2026. Counted rather than listed, the register shows how thin the specialty is. Across every covered city there are 8.6 denture specialists for every 100 registered dental organizations, and 47 of the 245 cities (Sun City, Las Cruces, Ogden, St. George, Murray, Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie, Gillette, Kansas City, Olathe, Norman, Henderson, Sparks, Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Des Moines, Davenport, Columbia, Jonesboro, Peoria, Rockford, South Bend, Lake Charles, Gulfport, Hattiesburg, Tupelo, Owensboro, Savannah, Macon, Athens, The Villages, Winston-Salem, Charleston, Huntington, Newark, Toms River, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Springfield, Lowell, Burlington, Rutland, Nashua, Juneau, Wasilla, Kailua) have none at all.

What the numbers mean

A count of registrations, not of care

The register lists every provider with an NPI at an address in the city. It says nothing about who is taking patients, who makes dentures in a general practice, or who is good.

Why specialists cluster

Prosthodontists are a small specialty and they register where the referrals and the labs are: the largest city in each state carries most of its specialists, and surgeons follow the same pattern.

Organizations overcount a little

A practice with two locations, or one that re-registered under a new entity, appears more than once in the organization count. The specialist count is per person, so the ratio slightly understates density.

Read dates differ by state

States are pulled independently, so a page prints its own register-read date. The counts here are as of September 28–29, 2026; the finder pages carry the date for each city.

All 245 covered cities, densest first. A city with no specialist listed is not a city without denture care: most denture work happens in general practices, which the register cannot tell apart.

How this page is made

This page is generated from the same data table its reference page carries, on every rebuild, so it can never disagree with the table. Read it with the caveats of the source data: published prices are starting figures at the office that published them; program rules are summaries of what we read on a stated date and the program’s page controls; register counts are registrations, not availability. If a figure is wrong, tell us.
