Dentist email list by city: practice office emails, built in one run

By Keencrest · 2026-11-01

Dental practices are a favourite target for software, marketing, equipment and staffing sellers: there are many, they are local, and each one is a small business with its own website. Lists are sold everywhere, so the useful question is what a good dentist list contains and what you should pay.

Office addresses, not personal ones

For a practice, the contact you want is the front office: info@, office@, frontdesk@ or a similar address published on the practice's own site. That is both the most likely to be read and the safest to write to under anti-spam law. Lists that offer "every dentist's personal email" mix in addresses the dentist never published for business, and they carry the legal risk with them. Our packs keep only role addresses and addresses that name the practice, and drop personal-looking ones.

This is a business-contact list. It contains nothing about patients and should never be used to market to them.

Fields that matter

Business email: the address the business publishes on its own site, usually a role address such as info@ or service@. This is the field Google Maps does not give you.
Website: lets you check the business is real and open, and personalise your first line.
Phone: useful when email bounces or you prefer a call.
Socials and contact-form page: a fallback channel when a business publishes no email.
Address and rating: lets you sort by area or by how established a business looks.

Questions to ask any seller

Where was the email read, and when? Ask for the website it came from.
Are multi-location groups listed once or once per office?
What happens if the city has fewer practices than the pack size? (Ours: you get every one we find and a pro-rata refund, or a nearby city.)
Is there a free sample in my city?

What a list costs, by route

Route	What you pay	Catch
Fiverr "b2b lead list" gigs	Tiered gigs of roughly 200 to 500 leads. One buyer report cites $100 to $200 for 500 leads that delivered 200; another cites $800 for 50,000 leads of which 10,000 were clean.	Delivery takes 2 to 5 days, and quality varies by seller.
Clay	Launch about $167 to $185 a month for 2,500 to 3,000 data credits; Growth about $446 to $495 a month for 6,000 (clay.com/pricing).	A one-off list costs you a month's plan, plus time to learn the tool.
Apollo	Basic $49 per seat per month billed annually, or $65 billed monthly; Professional $79 annual, $99 monthly (apollo.io/pricing, read 2026-11-01). Credits are 30,000 a seat a year on Basic annual.	Its data leans toward named employees at larger companies, not the contacts a local business publishes itself.
Do it yourself on Apify	Our own Google Maps Leads Actor costs $0.0015 a place plus $0.002 for each site with an email found: about $3.50 per 1,000 leads.	You run the tool, handle cleaning and deduping, and check the results.
Keencrest lead packs	$19 for 250 leads, $49 for 1,000, $99 for 2,500, free 25-lead sample.	Orders are by email and paid by PayPal invoice; no automated checkout yet.

That puts a 250-lead pack below the entry gigs on Fiverr and far below a month of Clay, delivered within an hour of payment instead of days. Doing it yourself is cheaper still if you are happy to run a tool; this walkthrough covers it.

Build a dentist email list for your city in one run

Website Contact Details Scraper takes a search such as dentists in Austin, TX, finds the businesses on Google Maps, then reads each business's own website for the email it publishes. You get one row per business: name, phone, website, bestEmail, socials and contact-form page.

{"searchQueries": ["dentists in Austin, TX"], "maxPlacesPerQuery": 20}

Open the Actor page and press Try for free (the Apify free plan includes monthly credit).
Paste the input above with your own city. We keep the same setup as a public Apify task on this Actor, named "Dentist email list by city".
Export the dataset as CSV. Write to bestEmail; rows without one still carry the phone and contact-form page.

Cost, from the Actor's listing: US$0.0015 for each business found (charged by the Google Maps Leads step) plus US$0.002 for each business whose website has an email. 100 businesses with 60 emails come to about US$0.27.

A real dentist run

On 2 November 2026 the "Dentist email list by city" task ran for dentists in Austin, TX with 10 practices: 6 of the 10 returned an email from the practice's own website. At the listed prices that run costs a user about US$0.027 (10 x $0.0015 + 6 x $0.002). That is one small run in one city, not a promise for yours; the measurement below covers more sites.

How often a small-business site gives an email (measured)

On 2 November 2026 we ran Website Contact Details Scraper on 124 small-business websites taken from Google Maps listings (plumbers, dentists, electricians, accountants and hair salons in mid-size cities). 84 of them (68%) returned an email, and every one of those 84 had a domain that accepts mail. A second run gave the same result row for row.

Country	Sites	With an email
United States	40	29 (73%)
Australia	21	19 (90%)
Germany	21	18 (86%)
United Kingdom	21	11 (52%)
Canada	21	7 (33%)
All	124	84 (68%)

The samples are small (21 sites for each country outside the US), so treat the per-country figures as rough. Most misses (23 of 34) were sites that publish only a contact or booking form (how to list the contact forms for those sites). 4 sites asked crawlers not to visit in robots.txt and were skipped. Businesses with no website at all were not in the sample. Sites that give no email are not billed.

Since build 0.7.19 the same run also returns, free, each site's contact-page URL and form kind (contactPageUrl, contactFormKind). In a later run on the same kind of list (2 November 2026, 124 sites), 23 of the 38 sites that had no email came back with their contact-form URL and kind.

Proof: what a finished list looks like

We ran plumbers in Austin, TX on 2026-11-01: 51 unique qualifying businesses found and 25 delivered in the free sample. The sample CSV now holds 17 rows (rows with only a free-mail or personal-looking email, and rows from a directory whose terms forbid scraping, were removed on 2026-11-02), and all 17 have a business email and a phone. A row looks like this: Plumbing Outfitters, (512) 309-5406, plumbingoutfitters.com, info@plumbingoutfitters.com, with Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn links and a 4.9 rating. Download the 17-row sample CSV and check the emails yourself before you spend anything.

The legal basics

This is general information, not legal advice. In the US, CAN-SPAM covers commercial email to businesses as well as consumers: identify yourself, do not mislead in the subject line, include a working opt-out and honour it within 10 business days. In the UK and EU, PECR and GDPR treat emails to a company's role address (info@, sales@) far more leniently than emails to a named person, but you still need a legitimate reason to write, a clear identity and an easy way to stop. Named-person addresses are the risky ones, which is why our packs hold role addresses and business-named addresses only and drop jane.smith@ style ones. Never use a business list for consumer marketing, and keep a suppression list of everyone who opts out.
