At Dentist Hub, we are committed to providing patients with the most accurate and trustworthy dental practice recommendations across South Africa. Our dental listings make finding the best dentist near you a seamless process.
To achieve this, we use a proprietary ranking methodology for all organic (non-paid) listings. Each practice is evaluated based on a weighted combination of three key factors:
⭐ Aggregate Google Rating
We analyse the overall Google rating of each dental practice and compare it to others within the same geographic area.
This ensures that patients see top-performing dentists relative to their local market—not just nationally.
🗣️ Total Number of Reviews
Review volume plays a critical role in establishing credibility.
For example, a practice with a 4.8-star rating from 50+ reviews is considered more reliable than one with a perfect 5-star rating from only a handful of reviews.
By factoring in review count, we prioritise consistency and long-term patient satisfaction.
👩⚕️ In-Person Experience
Where possible, our team conducts real-world visits to dental practices across South Africa.
These visits allow us to assess:
- Patient experience
- Practice environment
- Professionalism of staff
- Overall quality of care
This hands-on approach adds a layer of human verification that goes beyond online reviews.
🔍 Continuous Improvement
Our methodology is continuously refined to ensure it reflects what matters most to patients—trust, quality, and consistency.
