About Us / Selection Methodology
With the aid of several dental consultants, The Nation's Top 10%™ identified numerous factors that make a dentist great. These factors include years of experience in dentistry, patient reviews, level of communication and response, disciplinary record, patient thoughtfulness, use of innovative techniques, and many more. The Nation's Top 10%™ then created a proprietary algorithm assigning various weights to each factor based on importance in the dental industry.
Then, The Nation's Top 10%™ thoroughly researched the tens of thousands of dentists practicing across the nation. We compiled data on the numerous industry-specific factors for every dentist. We then entered that data into our algorithm.
The computerized results identified those Dentists who were eligible to be considered in the top 10% of all U.S. Dentists. Those dentists at the top of the list were invited to accept their nomination into our prestigious organization. A dentist cannot pay to be invited in The Nation's Top 10%™, he or she must earn it.
