Ranking as a Top Dentist

After signing up to our FREE service you have full control over your dental profile – the fun does not stop after registration. The excitement of receiving appointment requests and private messages from potential patients are just some of the benefits dentists get to enjoy once they join the community. RankMyDentist.com is more than just a dental directory with various dental practices, dentist names, locations and phone numbers, but it is also a forum in which dentists and patients may discuss and talk about whatever dental topics that might arise. Once they have visited their dentists, patients have the ability to rank them and their practices based on certain criteria: demeanor, treatment and the overall comfort of the patient while in the dentist’s care.
It is important to note that the dentist must make sure that he or she along with their practice is associated with the website, this way patients will be able to find them in search results and top ranked sections. Our ranking system was designed from a patients point of view; polls were taken prior to ensure that this criteria was what made up a top dentist. We created custom algorithms that tally up all the individual scores the dentist will be assessed by and creates an overall rank for that dentist.
