Source: gmapsweep Canadian dental-practice cache (Google Maps listings + website enrichment), as of June 2026. The British Columbia universe is 3,010 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 3,004 re-checked British Columbia 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.

FAQ ## Questions about British Columbia. How many dental practices are in British Columbia? This analysis covers 3,010 Google-listed patient-facing dental practices in British Columbia (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 British Columbia 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. [Start free leakage scan](/free-dental-leakage-scan) [See the national report](/canadian-dental-leakage-report)
