# The Best Dentist in Town > We search high and low for the best dentist in town, so you don't have to. Every listed practice is checked by a person: licence and education verified with the state dental board, regulatory and infection-control standing confirmed, a five-star review count weighed against the practice's own town, and care philosophy tested by an unannounced call and a real treatment plan. ## Key facts - Founded 2025. Every listing is written and signed by a person, not generated from a score. - A town carries as many listings as clear the checks — usually a small number, sometimes only one. - A town with no listing means the search there is still in progress, not that no good practice exists. - The five-star review count is judged against the practice's own town, never a national threshold. - Listings are re-checked every six months. - Listings carry no prices, fees, or insurance participation data: both change without notice and a stale answer is worse than no answer. - The award assesses credentials, standing, reputation and care philosophy. It is not a clinical opinion or a guarantee of any result. - 27 towns searched to date; 0 practices listed. ## Pages - [Home](https://thebestdentistintown.com/): Town and ZIP search, the register of towns searched, and the six checks. - [How we choose](https://thebestdentistintown.com/how-we-choose): Methodology, the five verified inputs, and the FAQ. - [Apply as a practice](https://thebestdentistintown.com/dentist-application): The nine-section application a practice submits. - [Nominate a dentist](https://thebestdentistintown.com/apply): The short form a patient uses to put a name forward. ## Contact - Patients: https://thebestdentistintown.com/apply - Practices: https://thebestdentistintown.com/dentist-application
