Build a dentist database from live Google Maps data
Build a dentist database pulled fresh from Google Maps the moment you ask: name, address, phone, website, rating, review count, and hours as clean JSON. Major metros run past 1,000 practices each.
One request, real dentists
This exact request ran while writing this page. It returned 5 Miami practices in about a second. Here is the first row, as CSV and as JSON. Phone digits are masked on this page; the API returns them in full.
The other four rows carry the same shape. One of them, Alfonso Dental Miami, came back with a 5.0 rating across 1,009 reviews. Set limit up to 100 practices per search.
The full record on each dentist
Every practice comes back complete. No field tiers, no per-column upcharges:
One thing you will not find: an email field. Google Maps listings do not carry one, so no Maps-sourced dentist database has emails from Maps. There is a clean way to add them, covered below.
Sweep a whole metro
One search returns up to 100 practices. A major metro holds far more than that. CrustAPI sweeps the whole metro for you and returns every practice, deduplicated, past Google's ~100-per-search cap. We ran that sweep on Miami and found 1,006 distinct dentist practices. A single query would have shown about a tenth of the market.
You only pay for practices that come back, so a full-metro sweep only ever costs the dentists it actually returns. The same endpoint works for any vertical; the Google Maps Scraper API page covers it in general form.
vs buying a static list
Most dentist databases for sale are flat files compiled at some point in the past. Practices move, close, rebrand, and change phones all year. Here is the trade, stated plainly:
| A static list file | CrustAPI | |
|---|---|---|
| Freshness | Snapshot from whenever it was compiled | Pulled from Google Maps at request time |
| Coverage | Fixed row count, set by the vendor | Whatever is on the map today; 1,006 in our Miami sweep |
| Ratings + review counts | Varies by vendor | On every practice |
| Hours + categories | Varies by vendor | Full weekly schedule + all specialty categories |
| Emails | Often included, a real advantage | Separate step via the LinkedIn people endpoints |
| Reuse | One file, one point in time | Rerun any time; 1 credit per practice, empties free |
When a static list is the better pick: you need emails in one flat file today, you are running a single one-time campaign where speed to send beats freshness, or you want zero technical steps of any kind. Good list vendors clean, dedupe, and verify their files, and that work has real value.
One credit per practice
The free tier is 3,000 queries a month with no card, so the whole Miami sweep (1,006 practices, 1,006 credits) fits inside it with room to spare. Prepaid packs go up from there and credits never expire: 25k for $49 · 100k for $149 · 500k for $549 · 2.5M for $1,999. At roughly 1,000 practices per major metro, the $49 pack covers about 20 metro sweeps.
Three jobs this data does
Dental SaaS teams
Count practices per metro to size territories, build target-account lists for sales, and enrich signups with rating and review counts so reps know who they are talking to.
Suppliers and labs
Every practice with a street address and a phone number, mapped by lat/lng. Route planning, territory splits, and call lists come straight out of the same JSON.
Marketers and agencies
Local SEO pitches land harder with the prospect's own numbers. One Miami practice in our sample sits at 4.9 stars with 902 reviews; its neighbors do not. That gap is the pitch.
Review text itself is one parameter away: type=reviews with a placeId returns the actual Google reviews for any practice, about 0.3s per call. Details on the Google Reviews API page.
Adding emails, the clean way
Maps gives you the practice: phone, website, address. It does not give you an email, because listings do not have one. When your outreach needs emails, use the LinkedIn people endpoints to find the dentist or office manager behind the practice. People results include a verified email where one can be found and checked.
The usual flow: practices from Maps first, then a people search on the ones worth a personal email. Both run on the same key and the same credits. Full detail on the LinkedIn People Search API page.
