THE RECORD BEHIND THE NAME
Connected facts.
Clear provenance.
DentistGraph connects federal provider records with California dental licenses, preserving the source and meaning of each fact.
The person and the practice
A dentist is an individual. A practice is an organization. The federal NPI identifies the provider; practice locations describe where that provider has registered an office.
California Board-only records show a city of record. Practice addresses and cities of record are labeled separately.
Declared specialties
Specialties reflect the dentist's declarations in the federal NPI registry, organized using the NUCC dental taxonomy. A dentist can declare more than one specialty.
Search recognizes everyday terms such as root canal, braces and children's dentistry, connecting them to the corresponding specialty.
Board-issued records
California license status, issuance dates and permits come from the Dental Board of California. A current license status records renewal; permits describe specific state authorizations.
License identity uses the license number together with compatible first, middle and last names. Conflicting matches remain separate.
Record coverage
The record summary shows how many evidence checks have answers and how many come from an issuing board. Each check retains its status: state-verified, declared or unknown.
Coverage describes the documentation available for a record. Search ordering reflects relevance to your query.
Privacy and access
Public profiles present identity, city, declared specialty and linked license status. Approved accounts can access the detailed record. Residential streets and individual Board addresses of record are withheld.
