59.1% have no online booking link on their Google
Business Profile, and only 13.7% offer real-time self-scheduling —
so 86.3% have no instant way to book online. Schedule leakage
starts here: a ready-to-book patient who can’t book or reach the office leaks
the moment the front desk is busy or closed.

Method

## How we measured this.

Source: gmapsweep Canadian dental-practice cache (Google Maps listings + website enrichment), as of June 2026. The Alberta universe is
2,132 Google-listed businesses categorized as
patient-facing dental practices; dental labs, supply stores, hygienist
clinics, schools, and uncategorized listings are excluded. Province is
derived from the postal Forward Sortation Area on each listing.

The booking figures come from a place-page recount: we open each Google
Business Profile and record the Book button and what kind of booking it
offers (real-time scheduler vs. appointment-request form), refreshed June
18, 2026, across 2,126 re-checked Alberta listings.
The website figure comes from the Google listing. These are discoverability
signals, not a quality judgment of any practice and not a per-practice
dollar figure. See the full national picture and method in the

FAQ

## Questions about Alberta.

How many dental practices are in Alberta?

This analysis covers 2,132 Google-listed patient-facing dental practices in Alberta (of 19,374 across Canada). Province is derived from the postal Forward Sortation Area on each Google listing.

What does "no online booking link" mean for Alberta practices?

It means no booking action on the practice’s Google Business Profile — the one-tap "Book online" patients see in Google Search and Maps. A practice may still offer booking on its own website; this figure is specifically about bookability directly from the Google listing, from a place-page recount that opens each profile.

Is this a ranking or quality judgment of these practices?

No. These are discoverability signals — how easily a ready-to-book patient can find and book online — not a judgment of clinical quality, and not a per-practice figure. No individual practice is named; every number is an aggregate.
