About The Dentist Ranker

The Dentist Ranker is a ranked directory of dental practices across the United States. We index dentists by specialty, city, and whether they are accepting new patients, and we publish only what we can verify.

Guide Score Methodology

Our rankings are computed algorithmically from publicly available data including Google reviews, professional credentials, press coverage, and web presence. We do not accept payment for rankings.

The Guide Score (0–100) is composed of seven weighted factors:

Google Rating (35%)

The practice's Google Business rating on a 0–5 scale, normalized to 0–35 points.

Review Volume (20%)

Logarithmic scale based on total Google review count.

Web & Professional Presence (20%)

Points for website, LinkedIn, and email.

Profile Completeness (15%)

Points for description, lead dentist, tagline, featured image, and phone number.

Professional Credentials (5%)

Points for DDS, DMD, board certifications.

Press Recognition (3%)

Points per verified press mention.

Years in Practice (2%)

Based on years in business, up to the cap for 20+ years.

Scores recalculate with every data update. Practices cannot pay to appear or rank higher.

No paid placement

Rankings on specialty and city pages reflect our algorithmic Guide Score. Dental practices cannot pay to appear or to rank higher. If you believe a ranking is inaccurate, please contact us with specifics.
