Reviews don't tell you if your dentist was disciplined. We do.

Yes. Browsing, the license and disciplinary checks, and the ownership flags are all free. Dentists cannot pay to rank higher or to hide a disciplinary action.

We match each dentist's federal NPI number to the state dental board's own license file (Texas, California, and Florida publish one), then show the status the board reports, with a link to the official record. The Texas and Florida files also carry a disciplinary-action flag, which we check for every dentist attached to the practice; the California file does not, so California profiles link to the board's lookup for that. Where a state does not publish a roster, like New York, we say the license is not independently verified rather than guess.

A dental service organization is a company that owns and runs dental practices, often backed by private equity. The dentist's name may be on the door, but a chain sets the targets. Studies link corporate ownership to more aggressive treatment plans, so we flag it from public business records.

Ratings, review counts, and hours come from each practice's public Google listing. Accepted insurance, services, and technology are read from the practice's own website. We only show what is published, and never invent a value.

No. Detailed profiles are selected from public NPI records and dentists cannot pay for inclusion, ranking, or removal of a verified fact.

Texas, California, Florida, and New York today: 133,839 dental providers. More states are added as we verify them.
