Ranking Methodology
Last Updated: June 2026
At DentifyBD, we believe healthcare recommendations should be transparent, objective, and based on verifiable information.
This page explains how DentifyBD evaluates, organizes, and highlights dentists and dental clinics across our platform.
Our methodology is designed to help patients discover qualified dental professionals while maintaining editorial independence and transparency.
Our Philosophy
Choosing a dentist is an important healthcare decision.
For that reason, DentifyBD does not determine rankings based solely on popularity, advertising spend, paid sponsorships, or promotional agreements.
Instead, we evaluate dentists and clinics using a combination of professional, informational, and verification-based factors.
Our objective is to help users identify qualified dental professionals based on transparent criteria rather than marketing influence.
Important Disclaimer
DentifyBD rankings, recommendations, and featured listings are informational tools intended to help users discover dental professionals.
A higher ranking does not guarantee:
- Better treatment outcomes
- Clinical superiority
- Patient satisfaction
- Treatment success
Patients should independently evaluate healthcare providers and consult directly with dental professionals before making treatment decisions.
Factors We Consider
When evaluating dentists and clinics for rankings, featured listings, or recommendation pages, DentifyBD may consider one or more of the following factors.
1. Professional Registration Status
Professional registration is one of the most important evaluation factors.
DentifyBD prioritizes dentists whose professional credentials can be reasonably verified through official and institutional sources, including the Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council (BM&DC) where applicable.
Verification of registration status contributes positively to a profile’s trustworthiness and completeness.
2. Educational Qualifications
We review professional qualifications and academic credentials where available.
Examples may include:
- BDS
- DDS
- FCPS
- MCPS
- Postgraduate dental qualifications
- Specialty certifications
- Advanced clinical training
Additional recognized education and specialty training may contribute to professional profile evaluation.
3. Professional Experience
Experience is an important consideration when assessing dental professionals.
Factors may include:
- Years of clinical practice
- Specialty experience
- Academic involvement
- Professional leadership roles
- Institutional affiliations
Experience is evaluated alongside other factors rather than as a standalone measure.
4. Specialty Expertise
Dentists who focus on specific areas of dental care may be evaluated within their areas of expertise.
Examples include:
- Orthodontics
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Prosthodontics
- Endodontics
- Periodontics
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Implant Dentistry
- Cosmetic Dentistry
Specialty-specific recommendations may prioritize relevant qualifications and experience within that field.
5. Profile Completeness
Patients benefit from detailed and transparent information.
Profiles with complete and verified information may receive greater visibility than incomplete profiles.
Examples of useful profile information include:
- Professional qualifications
- Specialty areas
- Chamber information
- Clinic locations
- Contact details
- Professional biography
- Practice information
Comprehensive profiles help users make informed decisions.
6. Verification Quality
DentifyBD places significant importance on verification.
Profiles supported by multiple reliable sources may receive stronger editorial confidence than profiles with limited verifiable information.
Examples of verification sources include:
- BM&DC information
- Institutional records
- Hospital websites
- Clinic websites
- Professional documentation
- Direct verification by DentifyBD
7. Information Accuracy and Consistency
Our editorial team may assess whether profile information is:
- Accurate
- Current
- Consistent across reliable sources
- Free from obvious discrepancies
Profiles containing conflicting or unverifiable information may receive lower visibility until verification is completed.
Factors We Do Not Use
To maintain fairness and editorial independence, DentifyBD does not rank dentists or clinics based solely on:
- Advertising payments
- Sponsored placements
- Paid promotions
- Referral commissions
- Marketing budgets
- Social media follower counts
- Purchased reviews
- Artificial engagement metrics
Commercial relationships do not determine professional ranking positions.
Reviews and Ratings
DentifyBD recognizes that online reviews can sometimes be manipulated, purchased, or unrepresentative of actual patient experiences.
For this reason, online review counts alone are not used as the sole basis for determining rankings or recommendations.
Where review information is considered, it may be evaluated alongside professional qualifications, verification standards, profile completeness, and other quality indicators.
Featured Dentists and Clinics
From time to time, DentifyBD may highlight dentists or clinics within educational content, local directories, specialty guides, or informational articles.
Featured placements are selected through editorial evaluation and may consider:
- Professional qualifications
- Specialty expertise
- Verification status
- Information quality
- Relevance to the topic being discussed
Being featured does not imply endorsement, certification, or guarantee of treatment outcomes.
Continuous Review and Updates
Healthcare information changes over time.
DentifyBD periodically reviews profiles, rankings, and recommendation pages to ensure information remains accurate and relevant.
Rankings may change when:
- New information becomes available
- Credentials are updated
- Verification status changes
- Profile completeness improves
- Editorial reviews identify inaccuracies
Our Commitment to Transparency
We believe users deserve to understand how healthcare recommendations are created.
For that reason, DentifyBD publicly discloses its ranking methodology and editorial standards.
Our goal is to build trust through transparency, professional verification, and independent evaluation rather than promotional influence.
DentifyBD remains committed to helping patients across Bangladesh discover qualified dental professionals through clear, fair, and transparent information.
