Frequently asked questions
How do I find dental practices opening in Minnesota?
Every practice entity files with the federal NPI registry, usually weeks before the doors open. This page lists the newest Minnesota registrations from the weekly NPPES update: 5 in the last 90 days, 1 in the 7 days to 2026-09-24. The ProviderSignal Rep plan turns the same feed into a weekly alert for your territory, with addresses and owner contacts.
Which Minnesota dental practices are about to open?
The best public signal is a new registration at an address with no dental provider on record: 5 such addresses appeared in Minnesota in the last 90 days, 0 in the 7 days to 2026-09-24. A registration precedes an opening more often than it follows one.
How do I tell a new independent practice from a DSO location?
0 of the 5 new Minnesota entities match a national DSO brand in ProviderSignal's affiliation engine and carry the chain-affiliated chip above. The brand itself, the full address and the owner contact are in the trigger feed on the Rep plan.
Can I get this as a list or an alert?
Yes. The Rep plan exports new practices and new providers for your territory as CSV and sends a weekly digest of what changed. The 7-day free trial includes both.
Where does this data come from?
Every practice entity and provider here comes from NPPES, the federal NPI registry, which ProviderSignal refreshes weekly. A registration usually accompanies a practice forming or opening, though the doors may open before or after the filing date.
How current is this page?
Updated 2026-10-14, with registrations through 2026-09-24: NPPES publishes a week or more after a filing, ProviderSignal ingests the weekly file and the page rebuilds daily. The window shown is the most recent 90 days, with the newest week and 30 days above.
