Use the search bar on the homepage. Enter a dentist's name, practice name, city, or zip code. Results appear instantly with practice profiles including ratings, technology badges, and Vitals Scores.

Each search result card shows the practice name, lead dentist, specialty, Google rating, Vitals Score, and key technology badges. Click any card to view the full practice profile with all 50+ data points.

Search for practices in your area and compare them side-by-side in the results view. Look at Vitals Scores, technology badges, Google ratings, and whether they're accepting new patients to make an informed decision.

The Vitals Score is a 0–100 proprietary rating that measures a practice's digital readiness and modernity. It factors in technology adoption, online booking, patient portals, web presence, and digital engagement tools.

Technology badges indicate specific equipment and digital tools a practice uses — like Digital X-Rays, CEREC same-day crowns, Intraoral Cameras, 3D Imaging, Laser Dentistry, and Online Booking. A checkmark means the practice has that technology; a dash means it wasn't detected.

The modernity rating reflects how up-to-date a practice's technology and digital infrastructure are. Practices with newer equipment, digital workflows, and patient-facing tools score higher than those using older or manual processes.

On any practice profile page, click the "Request Appointment" button. Fill in your name, phone, email, and preferred date. The request goes directly to the practice, who will follow up to confirm.

The practice receives your request by email and will contact you to confirm the appointment. Response times vary by practice — most respond within 1–2 business days.

Since appointment requests are sent directly to the practice, you'll need to contact them directly to cancel. Their phone number and email are available on their profile page.
