Listing Methodology

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.
