3. Who is a good dentist in Columbus OH accepting new patients
4. Emergency dentist Columbus Ohio
5. Dentist for anxious patients in Columbus Ohio

What the recommended practices have in common

Most have hundreds of Google reviews and a website page for each kind of visit, such as emergencies, cosmetic work or anxious patients. AI assistants tend to quote those pages directly. Some practices with fewer reviews still made the list because their site states clearly what they offer and that they accept new patients.

How we tested

One fresh, logged-out run per question in each assistant on 21 October 2026. Counts include practices named in the answer text or its map list. AI answers vary between runs, users and locations, so treat this as a snapshot, not a ranking of care quality. We have no business relationship with any practice listed.
