Map listings as of September 2026 show 5,079 dentists and orthodontists in Ohio. 633 of them (12%) are chain locations. The listings count dental practices, orthodontists included. Official counts show 3,814 businesses with payroll classed as offices of dentists in 2023, down 6.4% from 2019.
How much do households in Ohio spend on medical and dental services?
About $6.8B a year, or $1,398 per household. That is 9% above the U.S. average (an index of 109, where 100 is the U.S. average).

That spending covers all medical and dental services, which dentists and orthodontists share with other businesses in the trade. It is estimated from the incomes of the 4,863,191 households in Ohio and national spending patterns by income.

Ohio has 10.4 dentists and orthodontists per 10,000 households, 21% below the U.S. rate of 13.1. Spending per practice is $1.3M, 36% above the U.S. figure of $984K. At the U.S. ratio of dentists and orthodontists to household spending, Ohio would have about 6,911, against 5,079 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,275 households, against one for every 952 across the U.S. The official count fell 6.4% from 2019 to 2023, against −0.5% for the U.S.
Which market in Ohio has the highest market score for dentists and orthodontists?

Among 29 scored small-town markets in or partly in Ohio, the Celina area scores highest, at 80 (high). Among 77 scored counties in Ohio, Morrow County scores highest, at 89 (high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
What is the Groundwork market score?
The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Ohio scores 71 for dentists and orthodontists (upper middle), #8 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Ohio. It maps the dentists and orthodontists on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
