One thing that sets 1-800-DENTIST apart is the fact that we carefully match patients with pre-screened dentists.
But people often ask us "What does ‘pre-screened' dentist mean?"
First, let's start with what pre-screened doesn't mean. Pre-screened doesn't mean that we judge the clinical skills of our dentists. We're not qualified to do that.
What we can do is use an objective pre-screening process to evaluate potential member dentists. And that's exactly what we do.
Our pre-screening process includes:
- Confirming state dental licenses and renewals
- Reviewing any disciplinary action on record
- Verifying specialty certificates and sedation permits
- Monitoring malpractice insurance levels and renewals
Once a potential dentist successfully completes our pre-screening process, they are eligible to become a 1-800-DENTIST approved dentist.
In addition, to ensure that member dentists continue to meet our membership standards, our dedicated Quality Assurance team continually confirms dental licenses, reviews disciplinary records, monitors malpractice coverage and evaluates patient feedback throughout the duration of each dentist's membership.
