Verification Standards
How we audit credentials, inspect safety protocols, and verify dental specialists.
The 3-Tier ClinicRanks Audit
MDS Postgraduate Verification
We verify that the specialist holds a post-graduate Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) degree in their respective clinical specialty from a recognized college or university. General dentists (BDS only) do not qualify for specialist listing.
- Confirmation of university graduation logs and degree certificate.
- Verification of college recognition by the government dental bodies.
National Dental Commission (NDC) Match
All registered clinicians are verified against the National Dental Commission (NDC) and respective State Dental Council registries.
- Active state council license verification.
- Cross-reference registration number (e.g. MDS reg number) on official portals.
- Audit to confirm zero history of malpractice penalties or license suspensions.
Clinical Sterilization & Safety Audit
A clinic can only be featured if it complies with international standards of patient safety. We perform physical or documentation-verified checks of:
- Weekly biological spore test logs demonstrating autoclave sterility.
- Use of Class B fractionated vacuum autoclaves.
- Waterline testing logs showing no bacterial biofilm.
- Use of chemical indicator tape in sealed instrument pouches.
Passed Audits Guarantee
We do not accept payments to fast-track or bypass audits. If a featured clinic fails a safety audit during routine checks, their verification status is suspended immediately.
