🦷 Dentist Leads Scraper — Dental Office Emails & Phones

You sell to dental practices — SEO, patient-acquisition ads, dental supplies, practice-management software, billing services. What you actually need is a fresh, city-by-city list of dental offices with a real email address, not a stale CSV resold since 2022. This scraper builds that list live, on demand, for $8 per 1,000 dentist leads with no subscription.

Pick the dental categories you care about (general dentist, orthodontist, pediatric dentist, cosmetic dentist, dental implant clinic...), type a city, and get one clean row per practice: practice name, address, phone, website, emails scraped directly from the practice's own website, social profiles, rating and review count.

What a dentist lead looks like

{
  "name": "Bayfront Dental Studio",
  "category": "Dentist",
  "address": "120 SE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33131",
  "phone": "+1 305-555-0134",
  "website": "https://bayfrontdental.com",
  "email": "smile@bayfrontdental.com",
  "emails": ["smile@bayfrontdental.com", "frontdesk@bayfrontdental.com"],
  "socialProfiles": { "instagram": "...", "facebook": "..." },
  "rating": 4.8,
  "reviewsCount": 312
}

Every practice is discovered live from the Google Maps business index, then the scraper visits the practice's website (homepage + contact/about pages) to hunt for email addresses, extra phone numbers, and social links. Nothing comes from a pre-built database, so closed practices and dead domains don't pollute your list.

Who uses this

• Dental marketing agencies — build prospect lists per metro before a cold-email or cold-call sprint; the reviewsCount field instantly separates established practices from brand-new ones.
• Dental supply & lab sales reps — territory lists with direct phones for every practice in your patch.
• Dental software / DSO acquisition teams — filter by rating and review volume to find practices worth acquiring or upgrading.
• Local SEO consultants — practices with a low rating or no website (set onlyWithWebsite to false) are your warmest pitch.

Dental categories you can target

The searchTerms picker covers the seven practice types worth prospecting separately. Each one is its own Google Maps search, so selecting more categories means more practices — and a different buyer profile per list:

Category	What the list is good for
dentist	The broad general-practice list — the default, highest volume per city
dental clinic	Multi-chair clinics and small groups; overlaps dentist but surfaces different listings
orthodontist	Higher ticket, heavy ad spenders — the best list for patient-acquisition agencies
pediatric dentist	Family-marketing angle; usually strong social profiles
cosmetic dentist	Veneers/whitening; the highest-margin practices in most metros
dental implants clinic	Implant centers — the target for lab, imaging and implant-supply reps
emergency dentist	Extended-hours practices; small list, but they buy call-tracking and answering services

Leave the picker on dentist for the widest sweep, or select several to build a deduplicated multi-category list in one run.

Selling software or services into dental practices

A dental practice is a small business with an owner-dentist who is also the buyer, an office manager who is the gatekeeper, and almost no procurement process — which is why the columns you sort on decide whether the list converts:

• reviewsCount is the size proxy. Under ~30 reviews is usually a young or single-chair practice with no budget and no staff to run new software. Between roughly 100 and 500 is the sweet spot for practice-management, billing, patient-communication and marketing tools: enough volume to have the problem, small enough that the dentist still decides alone. Several thousand reviews across several listings in a metro generally means a DSO or group — a longer, centralised sale, and the local office cannot buy from you.
• techStack tells you whether they invest. A practice site on WordPress with Google Analytics and a tag manager is one that has already paid an agency; one with no detectable stack at all is running a template from whoever built it in 2016. Both are pitchable, but they are different pitches and different price points.
• emailFound: false is not a dead lead in this vertical. Dental front desks answer the phone all day — that is the job. The no-email rows are a call list, not waste, and they are charged at the same low rate.
• category separates the buyer. orthodontist and cosmetic dentist practices spend on patient acquisition and are the right list for ads, SEO and financing products. dental implants clinic buys imaging, lab work and implant supply. emergency dentist buys answering services and call tracking. Selling one product to all seven categories in one blast is the fastest way to burn a domain.

A practical first run: one metro, ["dentist", "dental clinic"], maxResults: 120, then filter to practices with a website and 80–500 reviews. That is typically 60–150 practices per metro and costs about a dollar — small enough to test messaging on before scaling to a state.

How to run it

1. Choose one or more dental categories (default: dentist).
2. Enter a location — "Miami, FL", "Denver, CO", "London, UK".
3. Optionally raise Max results per search (a single city search typically surfaces up to ~120 practices).
4. Run. Export the dataset as CSV, Excel or JSON, or pull it through the API into your CRM.

Power users can skip the category picker and pass raw queries like orthodontist in Scottsdale, AZ — one per line — to sweep many cities in a single run.

FAQ

How many dentists can I scrape per city? A single search ("dentist in Chicago, IL") typically yields 60–120 practices, which is what Google Maps exposes per query. To go deeper in a big metro, add neighborhood-level queries ("dentist in Lincoln Park, Chicago") or run several categories (orthodontist, pediatric dentist...) — each is its own search.

Do all leads come with an email? No — an email is only delivered when the practice publishes one on its website, which in practice is roughly 40–70% of dental offices depending on the market. Every lead always includes phone, address and website, and the emailFound flag lets you filter instantly. You pay per lead delivered, not per email.

Can I get only practices that have a website? Yes — enable onlyWithWebsite. Practices without a site are dropped before they're charged.

Does it work outside the US? Yes. Any city Google Maps covers: Canada, UK, Australia, EU, Latin America. Set the language field for non-English markets (e.g. es for "clínica dental in Madrid").

How is this different from buying a dental email list? Purchased lists decay ~2–3% per month and everyone else bought the same file. This scrapes today's data at run time — practices that opened last quarter are in; ones that closed are out.

Can I schedule it weekly? Yes — use Apify Schedules to re-run your cities weekly or monthly and keep your pipeline topped up automatically.

What does a 500-lead run cost? $0.02 for the run start + 500 × $0.008 = $4.02. No monthly fee, no seats, no expiring credits.

Data & compliance

This actor collects publicly available business information only: what dental practices themselves publish on Google Maps and on their own public websites (business name, address, business phone, business email, social links). It does not collect patient data, log into any service, or bypass any access control. You are responsible for using the output in line with the laws that apply to you (e.g. CAN-SPAM for US cold email — include an opt-out; GDPR/PECR rules if you target the EU/UK).
