Know the practice. Understand the evidence.
Research dental practices in the United States, using public records and published website information. Bring the source, date and context into your next conversation.
Start with the US evidence.
Source coverage and reading schedules vary. Check the date attached to each fact; the full methodology names the sources and their limits.
Practice websites
Treatment descriptions, named implant systems, technology, fees and team pages.
A published mention is evidence of what a practice says.
NPI records
NPPES identifiers and recorded provider or organization details where linked to the practice.
An NPI identifies a record; it is not a license or proof of a new hire.
State license records
Held dental-board registration fields with their state, source and read date.
Coverage varies by state. Missing information is not an adverse finding.
Practice and group context
Published locations, team associations and group relationships where supported by evidence.
A shared address or changed authorized official does not establish an acquisition.
Bring the records together.
- Practice identity. Names, addresses, websites and identifiers help connect records to the right practice. A similar name alone is not enough.
- People and relationships. Inspect held professional information and identified practice associations. An association does not by itself confirm employment or ownership.
- Treatments and technology. See what checked websites mention, with the underlying evidence and any missing information kept visible.
- Prices and local context. Compare published prices only when their scope and currency are compatible. Demographics describe an area; they do not establish treatment demand.
Read both dates, then the source.
When did the event happen? When was the source read? Those are separate questions.
Event date
The date supported for the underlying event. A recent detection does not make an older event new.
Source reading
When the source was successfully checked. Reading frequency varies by source family.
Coverage and limits
A positive observation and a claim that nothing was found require different evidence. Missing coverage stays visible.
Registration dates are not opening dates. Company charges are not proof of new investment. Technology mentions are not equipment purchases.
Turn the research into a useful list.
- 1Choose your territory. Search by city, ZIP code or radius, then narrow by the available practice evidence.
- 2Open the practice. Review its people, treatments and source context before deciding whether to follow up.
- 3Keep your shortlist. Use call lists and export permitted fields within your plan’s allowance.
Questions about the evidence
Does a website mention prove equipment ownership?
No. It records what the checked page says. A scanner or implant brand mention does not establish ownership, purchasing intent or treatment volumes.
Does a new registration mean a new practice opened?
Not by itself. A registration, an address change and an opening announcement are different records. Read the source, event date and limitations before drawing a conclusion.
Does a job advert mean a practice is hiring today?
It means an advert was observed. Its published date, latest source reading and any stated closing date provide context. Disappearance does not establish that a role was filled.
What does a missing field mean?
Not checked, unavailable and checked but unstated remain distinct. Silence on a checked website is not proof that a service or piece of equipment is absent.
Can I explore an example before requesting access?
Yes. The public sample uses the DentalGraph customer-report presentation with illustrative UK data. Real practice access follows your account and plan permissions.
