The Ownership Map for Independent Dentists

Why it surfaced

This is a narrow public-interest tool built around a question most dental patients cannot easily answer: who owns the practice? Its four-label verification system, refusal to accept placement payments or advertising, and promise to log ownership corrections publicly give the project an unusually clear accountability angle—even though the directory currently reports zero practices.

A ZIP-code directory that helps patients distinguish dentist-owned practices from local groups, DSO or corporate affiliations, and unverified offices.
