# Who Google's AI Recommends for Dentists in Calgary

Source: https://enginely.ai/reports/calgary/dental-ai-visibility/

> A citation study of Google AI Overviews across 7 Calgary-region sub-markets, measuring which practices AI-generated answers name and cite. 79 practices, 273 citations, 21 queries, captured August 2, 2026.

A citation study of Google AI Overviews across seven Calgary-region sub-markets and three patient questions — implant cost, Invisalign cost, and which dentists accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan — measuring which practices AI-generated answers name and cite.

21 patient-intent queries. 273 citations captured. 79 Calgary-area practices named, and 63% of them cited exactly once. This is the most open dental market we have measured — and the least defended.

## Headline finding

**79 Calgary-area practices are cited across the region, and 63% of them appear exactly once.** The most-cited practice in the whole region has 7 citations out of 146. No practice holds even 5% of the market.

| Figure | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Calgary-area practices cited | 79 |
| Citations to local practices | 53% |
| Held by the top ten | 36% |
| Citations to Google listings | 26% |

## What did this study measure?

We ran 21 patient-intent dental queries through Google across seven Calgary-region sub-markets and recorded every source cited by the AI Overview each one returned. The result is a count of which practices Google's generated answers name, and how widely.

- **20 of 21 queries** returned an AI Overview; the miss was implant cost in Okotoks
- **273 citations captured**, de-duplicated so a practice cited twice in one answer counts once
- **53% pointed at local practice websites**, 26% at Google listings, 10% at practices outside the region and 10% at third parties
- **79 distinct Calgary-area practices** were named — half again as many as Ottawa returned on an identical query set
- **Every out-of-region domain opened by hand** and its published street address recorded
- **Single point in time** — captured August 2, 2026, and generated answers vary between runs

_This measures Google AI Overviews only. It does not measure ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Copilot, which use different retrieval systems and require separate tracking._

## Findings

### Nobody owns this market

79 distinct Calgary-area practices were cited, and 50 of them (63%) appear exactly once. The ten strongest hold only 36% of local citations, and the most-cited practice in the entire region has just 7. In Calgary the answer changes almost every time — which means a practice that publishes properly can take a position currently held by no one.

### Invisalign behaves like a different market entirely

Calgary practices take 74% of implant-cost citations and 79% of Canadian Dental Care Plan citations — but only 33% of Invisalign citations. 43% of Invisalign citations are Google Business Profile listings and 15% go to practices outside the region altogether.

### The Google listing matters in the suburbs and not at all downtown

Calgary Central and Airdrie returned zero listing citations. Chestermere returned 23, Okotoks 20 and Northeast Calgary 20. The same investment in a Google Business Profile is worth very different amounts depending on where you practise.

### An orthodontist in California is cited in Calgary answers

9 practices with verified addresses outside the Calgary region take 27 citations (10%) — including a Grande Prairie group cited 7 times across 5 sub-markets, two Greater Toronto practices we independently identified in our own GTA study, and an orthodontic group headquartered in Monterey, California.

## One Market on Paper, Three Markets in Practice

The same practice can own the implant answer and be invisible on Invisalign, because each question is answered from a different kind of page — and each has a different competitor taking the gap.

_Share of citations going to a Calgary-area practice's own website_

| Topic | Citations | Local share | Most cited | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CDCP coverage | 48 | 79% | macleodtraildental.ca (2), royalvistadental.ca (2), toothcrewdental.ca (2) | Zero listing citations and zero out-of-region citations — the cleanest, least-contested question in the study, and almost nobody in Calgary has written the page. The remaining 21% goes to insurers and information sites. |
| Implant cost | 81 | 74% | sierradental.ca (6), beddingtondentalclinic.com (6), smilenowdental.ca (6) | Won with content: a page that states the fee. Listings take 12% and out-of-region practices 7%. |
| Invisalign cost | 144 | 33% | harvestdental.ca (6), familybraces.ca (5), brentwoodvillagedental.com (5) | The outlier. 43% of citations are Google listings and 15% go to practices outside the region — less than a third reaches a local website at all. The listing and the content pages are doing separate jobs here. |

_Based on 273 citations across 20 AI Overviews, captured August 2, 2026._

## 9 Practices, 27 Citations, 10% of the Market

Every domain below was opened individually and its published street address recorded. None has a location in Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere, Okotoks or the surrounding region. Two of them — Oakville and Stouffville, Ontario — were independently identified in our own Greater Toronto Area dental study before we ever looked at Calgary.

| Practice domain | Verified location | Calgary citations | Sub-markets | Cited for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| westgpdental.com | Grande Prairie, AB | 7 | 5 | Implant cost, Invisalign cost |
| shoreline-dentistry.ca | Oakville, ON | 6 | 6 | Invisalign cost |
| renovadental.ca | Stouffville, ON | 3 | 3 | Invisalign cost |
| wowsmiles.com | Monterey, California (USA) | 3 | 3 | Invisalign cost |
| bloomdentistry.ca | Leduc, AB | 2 | 2 | Invisalign cost |
| lifedentistry.ca | Edmonton, AB | 2 | 2 | Implant cost |
| newsmilelife.ca | Burnaby / Vancouver, BC | 2 | 2 | Invisalign cost |
| dentalhaus.ca | Edmonton, AB | 1 | 1 | Implant cost |
| higsondental.com | Grande Prairie, AB | 1 | 1 | Implant cost |

_None of these practices can treat a Calgary patient. They appear because they published a clear, well-structured page about what Invisalign costs, and Google's summariser does not check whether the practice is reachable._

## Every Calgary-Area Practice Cited, Ranked

All 79 practices cited across the 21 queries analysed, ranked by how many generated answers cited the practice's own website. The most-cited practice in the whole region holds 7 of 146 local citations — read the top of this table as evidence of how thin the lead is, not of who is winning.

_Bar length is scaled to the highest citation count in the study. Repeat citations of the same domain within a single answer are counted once. 26 of 79 practices appear in two or more sub-markets; only 2 appear across all three questions. Captured August 2, 2026._

## The Listing Column Is the One to Read Twice

A Google Business Profile earns nothing in Calgary Central or Airdrie and a great deal in Chestermere, Okotoks and Northeast Calgary. That is the same split we found in Calgary legal, and it is not something a single city-wide strategy can address.

| Sub-market | AI Overviews | Calgary citations | Out of region | Listing citations | Distinct practices |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Calgary (Central) | 3/3 | 28 | 4 | 0 | 27 |
| Northwest Calgary | 3/3 | 26 | 3 | 8 | 25 |
| Northeast Calgary | 3/3 | 20 | 2 | 20 | 20 |
| Southeast Calgary | 3/3 | 19 | 2 | 1 | 19 |
| Airdrie | 3/3 | 22 | 8 | 0 | 18 |
| Chestermere | 3/3 | 21 | 5 | 23 | 19 |
| Okotoks | 2/3 | 10 | 3 | 20 | 10 |

_Sub-market labels follow Google's own location targeting, so “Northwest Calgary” is Google's quadrant rather than a municipal boundary._

## 58 Businesses Named Through a Google Listing

72 citations (26%) point to a Google Business Profile panel rather than a website. These carry no publisher domain, so they are reported by business name. Being named this way means Google recognises the business but is not quoting anything it has published.

## Third Parties Take Only a Tenth of This Market

28 citations (10%) went to something that is not a dental practice. Dentistry remains a market where the practices themselves hold the answer — unlike accounting, where in this same region 29% of citations go to forums, chains and government.

## Calgary Against Ottawa

Both studies ran the same instrument against the same three patient questions across seven sub-markets. Calgary returns half again as many distinct practices as Ottawa and its top ten hold a materially smaller share: a larger, flatter, more contestable field.

| Metro | Local practices cited | Local share | Out-of-region share | Listing share | AI Overviews |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Calgary | 79 | 53% | 10% | 26% | 20/21 |
| Ottawa | 52 | 48% | 13% | 31% | 19/21 |

## Method

1. Ran 21 patient-intent queries through Google with city-level location targeting across seven Calgary-region sub-markets: Calgary Central, Northwest Calgary, Northeast Calgary, Southeast Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere and Okotoks.
2. Tested each sub-market with the same three questions — implant cost, Invisalign cost and Canadian Dental Care Plan participation, so every area was asked identical questions.
3. Captured the complete search result page for each query, including the AI Overview block, its generated text, and every source it cited.
4. De-duplicated citations per answer, so a practice cited twice within a single AI Overview counts once.
5. Opened every practice domain whose name did not already contain an unambiguous Calgary-region place name and read its published street address from its own contact page; practices with a verified address outside the region are reported separately and that location is named.
6. Counted Google Business Profile panels separately as listing citations, attributed to the business named in the panel, and classified directories, insurers, manufacturers, forums and social platforms as third party.
7. Crawled on August 2, 2026 without personalisation, and recorded the crawl window so any figure can be re-checked against the day it was captured.

## Limitations

This is a single-point-in-time snapshot. AI Overviews are generated fresh per query and vary between runs, so exact citation lists will differ if re-run; trends require repeated sampling. Practice identification is by website domain, and where a group operates several sites each is counted separately unless the study states a merge.

One of the 21 queries — implant cost in Okotoks — returned no AI Overview and contributes no citations. Only three patient questions were tested; cleanings, emergency care, orthodontics beyond Invisalign and cosmetic dentistry may behave differently. Sub-market labels follow Google's own location targeting, so “Northwest Calgary” is Google's quadrant rather than a municipal boundary.

AI Overviews reach the largest audience of any AI answer surface — no login, no app, shown to anyone searching Google — so this is the widest-reach measurement available. It is not the whole picture, and a business performing well here may perform differently elsewhere. Every figure comes from search results captured on the date stated and can be independently checked by running the same queries yourself.

## Where your practice sits

This report shows the market. It does not show your position in it — whether you are cited at all, on which questions, and whether Google is quoting your website or only your listing. That analysis is specific to your practice, and we produce it individually.

Calgary is the most open dental market we have measured. 50 of 79 cited practices appear exactly once, no practice holds more than 7 citations, and the Canadian Dental Care Plan question — the one with the clearest patient intent — is being answered almost entirely by whichever practice happened to write a page about it. That is a position available to whoever takes it first.

The work that follows from this report is a fixed-price engagement: [the AI Visibility Accelerator](https://enginely.ai/services/ai-visibility-accelerator/dental/index.html.md). Thirteen weeks, a published price, and three separate measurements against these same queries after publication.

## Questions about this report

### Why does this report only cover Google AI Overviews?

Because an AI Overview is rendered inside a public search results page, it can be retrieved directly, for a specific city, at a specific moment — which is how every figure here was captured. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot do not publish their answers anywhere; those answers exist only when a user prompts the model, so measuring them requires running a fixed prompt set against each model repeatedly over time. That is a different instrument, and we report it separately rather than blending two methods into one number.

### Would you get the same numbers if you ran it again?

Not exactly. AI Overviews are generated fresh per query and vary between runs, so the exact citation list would differ. The structural findings — how concentrated the market is, which source types dominate, which questions are being lost — are stable enough to act on. Any specific practice's citation count is a snapshot, not a ranking position.

### Our practice is not in the table. What does that mean?

It means the practice was not cited in any of the 20 answers Google generated, in any of the seven sub-markets. With 79 practices cited and no practice holding more than 7 citations, the field here is unusually wide — so absence is common and the position is correspondingly cheap to take. It does not mean the practice is invisible in Google generally.

### Why does the leaderboard not say where each practice is?

Because the source workbook did not record it for local practices, and we will not backfill it. Every domain whose name did not already carry an unambiguous Calgary-region place name was opened and checked — but only the ones that failed that check were written down, and they appear in the out-of-region table. Inventing a sub-market for the rest would be the one thing this study cannot afford.

### How were practices identified?

By website domain, exactly as it appeared in the AI Overview source list. Where a group operates several sites, each is counted separately unless this study states otherwise, because the citation was earned by a specific page on a specific domain.

### Can we be removed from the report?

Write to us and we will discuss it. The domains here appear because they were cited in publicly generated search results on the date stated, and the study would be less useful and less checkable without them — but we would rather have the conversation than not.

### Does being cited more often mean more customers?

We did not measure that, and we will not claim it. This study measures citations in generated answers, not clicks, calls or bookings. What it establishes is which practices are present in the answer someone reads before choosing — presence is a precondition for being chosen, not a substitute for it.

## Legal note

This report is provided for information. Practice and business names appear because they were cited in publicly generated search results on the date stated; inclusion or absence is not an assessment of clinical skill, care quality or standing. Nothing here is dental or medical advice, and nothing here describes Canadian Dental Care Plan eligibility — check that with the Government of Canada. Practice locations were read from each practice’s own published website on August 2, 2026 and may change. Figures describe what Google's systems returned on August 2, 2026 and may change.
