AI visibility for dental clinics is whether an assistant names you when someone asks a question like “best dentist in <city> for implants”. It is decided by whether the engine can read your site and whether you are in the pages it retrieves — both are checkable, and the first is fixable from inside the site.
Four shapes of question decide AI visibility in dental clinics: best-for, alternatives-to, cheapest, and for-a-situation. The lines below are the kind an assistant hears every day; replace the brackets with your market.
An assistant answering those questions retrieves pages and names the companies in them. For dental clinics the pages it retrieves are usually:

Add Dentist/LocalBusiness schema with address, hours and the same name as the Google profile. List services and starting prices as visible text, not in a widget. Keep the Google Business profile and the site in agreement on name, address and phone.
The free page check runs the 23 checks on your public pages — the ones above, measured on yours.
