How We Score Dentists
Our Dental Honesty Score rates every dentist from 0 to 100 based on publicly available federal data. This is not a clinical quality rating — it measures transparency and trust indicators.
Scoring Factors

Starting point for all dentists
Credentials (DDS/DMD, Specialist, FAGD/MAGD)
Verified dental degree and board certifications
Practice Experience
Years since NPI enumeration
Corporate Chain Affiliation
DSO/franchise model linked to higher upselling rates
OIG Exclusion
Federally barred from Medicare/Medicaid for fraud or abuse
Important Disclaimer
This score uses publicly available NPI Registry and OIG LEIE data. It does not reflect patient outcomes, clinical skill, or malpractice history. Always verify credentials with your state dental board before choosing a provider. A high score does not guarantee good care; a low score does not necessarily indicate dishonesty.
