How this site works

Plain answers about where our information comes from and who pays us.

Preview: Draft text for layout purposes. Final policy language should be reviewed by qualified counsel before launch.

Practice listings

Office names, addresses, phone numbers, hours and ratings come from Google's public business listings and refresh automatically. A listing does not mean we have checked or endorse the practice.

Claimed listings

A practice can claim its listing and edit its details. Claims are reviewed by a person before they take effect.

Sponsored placement

Premium practices pay a monthly fee to appear first in results, marked “Sponsored”. Payment never changes ratings, reviews or price data, and sponsored practices are not ranked as better.

Prices

Every price shows its source. “Verified practice” prices were submitted by the practice and reviewed. “Advertised” prices were copied from a practice's public page, with a link. Patient cost reports are kept private and never shown as verified fees. We never invent local prices.

Percentiles

Area percentiles come from a 2025 regional fee report for the Wellesley Hills (02481) area. They describe typical charges across many offices, not any named practice. A high percentile is a reason to ask questions, not proof of overcharging.

Treatment guides

Guides are drafted, fact-checked, and labeled “pending dentist review” until a licensed dentist reviews them. Reviewed guides show the reviewer and date.

Jobs and marketplace

Some postings are submitted directly; others were found on public websites. Every card shows its source and links to the original page. We review web-found items before they appear.

Your treatment plan

The decoder runs entirely in your browser. Codes and fees you type are not sent to us or stored.

Reporting a mistake
