For dentists

Recognition you earn. Not advertising you buy.

TheDentist.ai is the Michelin Guide for dental care: positive-only recognition, computed from inputs you can verify, with an audit trail you can request at any time. There is no paid placement.

How recognition works for your practice

1. You're listed by default

Every California-licensed dentist in our directory starts as Listed. No paywall to be present. Absence of an elevated tier is never a negative signal.

2. Elevation is algorithmic

Your Verified Performance Score across six axes is computed from practice-published rates, NPPES data, and opt-in patient surveys — reviewed by the Editorial Council.

3. The audit trail is yours

Every tier change is logged with timestamp, inputs, and reviewer. Request your audit trail any time at council@thedentist.ai.

The Dentist Apprentice OS (preview)

Beyond recognition, the Apprentice OS is our practice-side product: scheduling helpers, patient-facing intake that respects HIPAA, AI-assisted clinical workflows reviewed under SB 1120, and FuseBase-style portals for continuity of care. Production access opens to Editorial Council–endorsed practices first.
