I haven’t seen a few of these sites before. Thanks for finding them. Always good to be able to find new dentists.

No problem Wisdom. A lot of people are unaware of just how easy it is to find a local dentist.

Just for the record, I positioned the Americasmiles.com dentist directory in the search engines for its owner. Unfortunately though, I wasn’t given full license to improve its interface, its database of dentists, or its submission process for dentists. Still, a valuable little site.
Beyond dental directories, a majority of people seeking a dentist will simply conduct a query on a major search engine that includes either a treatment procedure, or a generic term such as “dentist”, “dental care”, etc. accompanied by their city or town.
Invaribly, since we monitor directly the Web stats for a lot of dental sites, very few, if any, people reach the dentist’s website via online directories. The lion share arrive by a search engine query. Another interesting fact is that people seldom venture past the first one or two search engine results pages.

Interesting observation, John. Empirically, that does seem to make sense. I think my primary motivation for this particular post is to highlight a more direct way of exploring local dentist results – no wading through potentially irrelevant search engine results.
However, that’s not to say that dentist directories are any better than search results. It’s just another option for people to consider.
Perhaps I’ll write a post in the near future discussing additional methods of finding local dentists and include the search engine query method.
Thanks for great comment.

Very interesting comments. I am actually indexed on most of those sites, but I agree with John most of the patient inquiries I get come from search engines queries. Did you ever write a followup post?

Alex, thanks for your comment and observations. I have not followed up with this specific post to date. However, Dental Heroes is in the midst of a transition to a more dental professional-centric focus. You can expect many more posts along these lines in the near future.

Why do many of these sites miss websites for their dentists though? That seems an unfortunate piece of information to be lacking.

Good day! I have a tooth problem. A pus inside a tissue. What should I do? When can you call very severe?
It’s painful. It makes the gums red. The pus is not easily extracted. It goes down to my teeth. Would the reddening of the gums be permanent? I don’t want to have a permanent red portion on my gums. If it would be permanent, can it be removed or go back to normal? Would that need any dental process? I don’t want to have a root extraction since I am still young and it’s not nice to look at.. I don’t want any tooth that is not real.
Please answer my questions!
Thank you very much for helping me on my problem!
