Best Dental Link Building Services — 2026 Ranked

Rhino Rank leads our 2026 dental ranking on defined per-link health and dental units, while JBH and Reboot Online sell earned dental press and Direction pairs dentist links with local SEO. Compare channels, approval rights and remedies before money: most scopes here are quoted per campaign.

Published: 2026-09-06Updated: 2026-09-06Evidence cutoff: 2026-09-06Methodology: M1.3

Rhino Rank is the best dental link building service for 2026. Its evidence is the most concrete here: an attributed private-practice campaign pairing curated health and dental insertions with guest posts, bought per link with site pre-approval available when requested before ordering, twelve-month replacement cover and a capped first-order refund. Practices that want defined link units without building publisher relationships themselves should start here.[1][2][3][4]

The rest divide by method. JBH and Reboot Online sell earned digital PR — a named London dental-group campaign on one side, a dentist press page with national placements on the other. Direction pairs dentist link building with local SEO for single-site practices and dental groups. Click Intelligence, Stan Ventures, Stellar SEO and Loganix sell healthcare or health-blog outreach that accepts dental buyers without running a dental-channel playbook, and The HOTH folds links into managed SEO for multi-office ortho practices.[5][7][10][12][14][16][17][19][20]

No provider here publishes a current dental price you can check out with: per-link sellers quote tiers without verifiable numbers and the PR and managed SEO scopes are quoted per campaign. Treat the case figures on this page as attributed provider reports, not forecasts, and settle approval, markets and remedies in writing before ordering.[1][2][9][15][18]

Rank 1

Rhino Rank

Rhino Rank logo
Best for

Private practices ordering health-site insertions[1][2]

Introduction

Rhino Rank is a link building provider whose dental evidence is an attributed private-practice campaign: curated insertions on health and dental sites plus guest posts on dental, wellness and lifestyle blogs, aimed at local queries such as cosmetic dentist in [city]. You buy per link through its Curated Links and guest-post units rather than a retainer. The differentiator is concreteness: stated dofollow placements, a 14–21 day curated target and written replacement and refund terms, set against an anonymous case with no published clinical review.[1][2][3][4]

What they do

Rhino Rank researches the target URL and niche, then inserts a contextual link into an existing article or commissions a 750+ word guest article carrying one contextual dofollow link. Site pre-approval is available if asked in advance of the order.[2][3][4]

Our verdict

We recommend Rhino Rank for most small and medium practices and agencies that want defined per-link dental units without building health-publisher relationships themselves. The attributed practice campaign, an 80/20 branded-to-service anchor mix around treatments such as whitening and Invisalign, stated dofollow placements and written twelve-month replacement make this the clearest offer here. The trade-off we accept in that recommendation: the case client is anonymous, clinical review is unpublished and there is no DSO playbook, so groups needing multi-location process should weigh Direction instead.[1][2][3][4]

Strengths

  • Attributed private-practice campaign on health and dental publishers with a published branded and service anchor mix.[1]
  • Curated Links state dofollow placements, a 14–21 day target and tiering by referring-domain strength.[2]

Limitations

  • No published clinician sign-off or HIPAA workflow for dental copy.[1]
  • Case package totals are historical and not a current public price list.[1]

Price and engagement

Curated Links and guest posts are bought per link with no contract; managed work runs on proposal or rolling monthly terms.[2][4]

Every delivered link carries twelve-month replacement, and the first order is refundable up to the lesser of the amount paid or US$550 within 14 days after full delivery.[4]

Dental campaign construction

Treat the dental case as a campaign template: audit first, then curated insertions on health and dental sites plus guest posts, with roughly 80% branded dental-care anchors and 20% service terms such as teeth whitening in [city] and Invisalign specialist.[1]

What is purchased today

Curated Links are insertions into existing articles; guest posts are 750+ word articles carrying one contextual dofollow link. Read the reported traffic percentages as provider-reported shape, not promised growth.[1][2][3]

Approval and remedy

Request site pre-approval before ordering so the review right is agreed up front. Replacement and the capped first-order refund follow the current written terms.[2][4]

Rank 2

Click Intelligence

Click Intelligence logo
Best for

Healthcare teams adding dentist-accepted outreach[5][6]

Introduction

Click Intelligence is a UK link building agency whose healthcare industry page explicitly names dentist link building in its title and URL. You engage through consultation and a quoted campaign built on backlink audit, competitor review and manual blogger outreach. The differentiator is acceptance rather than specialism: dentists are named buyers inside a medical and healthcare outreach operation, though the tactics and delivery record stay healthcare-generic.[5][6]

What they do

Campaigns open with a backlink-profile audit and competitor review, then map target pages to niche-relevant publishers for manual outreach with reporting. Engagement is quote-led after consultation.[6]

Our verdict

We recommend Click Intelligence for healthcare teams whose link programme must explicitly accept dentists but need not run a dental-channel playbook. The named dentist title and URL plus a stated publisher inventory behind fulfilment make acceptance checkable rather than assumed. The trade-off: body copy is generic medical outreach with no named dental campaign, no clinical-review workflow and no dental timing or remedy published, so practices wanting dental-specific channels should weigh JBH or Reboot Online instead.[5][6]

Strengths

  • First-party industry title and URL explicitly include dentist inside a medical offer.[5]
  • Publisher inventory is described as supporting managed fulfilment rather than as the purchased product.[6]

Limitations

  • No named dental campaign and no clinical-review workflow on the pages read.[5]
  • Link follow status is assumed rather than stated on the fulfilment page.[6]

Price and engagement

Quote-led campaigns after consultation; no dental programme price is published.[5][6]

Dental first-placement timing and link remedy are unpublished on the pages read.[6]

How dentist is named

Dentist appears in the industry page title and URL while the headline and tactics describe medical and healthcare blogger outreach. Read this as dental acceptance inside a healthcare service, not a dental-specialist operation.[5]

Fulfilment

Expect an audit, competitor benchmark, targeted manual outreach and reporting, quoted after a call. Confirm dental publisher examples, timing and remedy in the brief, since none is published.[6]

Rank 3

JBH

PBS 56.3SFS 70.8OS 63.1
Best for

Dental groups needing earned health-press coverage[7][8]

Introduction

JBH is a Manchester and London digital PR agency whose 2026 case for The Neem Tree, a holistic dental group, is a named multi-location dental campaign. You engage through a quoted press-office retainer covering hero campaigns, always-on outreach, service-page links and dashboards. The differentiator is earned dental press: national, regional, health, lifestyle and dental-trade titles including Dental Review and Dental-Nursing, with practice experts supplying the commentary.[7][8][9]

What they do

JBH runs hero research campaigns and an always-on press office, builds links to commercial and local pages, and reports through dashboards. Work starts with a discovery call, promised within one business day on the healthcare page.[8][9]

Our verdict

We recommend JBH for dental groups that can run a press-office retainer and want earned health-press coverage rather than per-link units. The named two-site campaign, 205 reported links at an average DA of 69 and local-page targeting for enquiries are the strongest named dental delivery here. The trade-off: terms are quote-led with no public price, only 58% of links are dofollow and there is no published replacement cover, so buyers wanting per-link units with written remedies should weigh Rhino Rank instead.[7][8][9]

Strengths

  • Named dental-group client with location-level targeting and dental-trade titles in the coverage mix.[7]
  • Healthcare service names hero research, press office and commercial-page links with reporting dashboards.[8]

Limitations

  • Reported link mix is 58% dofollow, the rest nofollow on relevant dental titles.[7]
  • No public retainer amount and no published link-replacement terms.[9]

Price and engagement

Quote-led digital PR retainer; no programme amount is published.[8][9]

Discovery call within one business day; campaign term and replacement cover are unpublished.[8][9]

The Neem Tree campaign

The case covers a holistic dental group across Wandsworth and Esher, with 205 reported links, 65 regional-news pieces and trend placements aimed at local pages for enquiries. Treat the counts as provider-reported delivery, not guaranteed replication.[7]

Healthcare offer

Hero campaigns, press office, commercial-page links and dashboards make up the healthcare service; its other named clients are not dental, so confirm dental resourcing at discovery. Digital PR here is a quoted retainer, not a per-link SKU.[8][9]

Tied at rank 4

Stan Ventures

Best for

Dental practices inside a healthcare link programme[10][11]

Introduction

Stan Ventures is a managed link building provider whose healthcare page explicitly addresses dental practices, using dentist near me as its local example. You engage through a custom proposal, delivered within 24 hours of enquiry, across guest posts, blogger outreach and niche edits. The differentiator is control: you review every site and article before anything is published, with 100% manual outreach and no PBNs stated.[10][11]

What they do

Outreach runs across guest posts, blogger outreach and niche edits with live URL reporting, after a custom proposal within 24 hours of the enquiry form. Every site and article needs buyer sign-off before publishing.[10][11]

Our verdict

We recommend Stan Ventures for practices that want site-and-article pre-approval inside a healthcare-labelled outreach programme. The explicit dental-practice buyer sentence and published review-before-publish control are concrete where most healthcare-generic offers are vague. The trade-off: no named dental campaign and no treatment-page playbook are published, and follow status is assumed rather than stated, so buyers wanting demonstrated dental delivery should weigh JBH or Rhino Rank instead.[10][11]

Strengths

  • Explicit dental-practice buyer sentence on the healthcare service page.[10]
  • Site-and-article pre-approval with live URL reporting on the link-building page.[11]

Limitations

  • No named dental delivery artifact and no treatment-page mapping published.[10]
  • Link follow status is assumed rather than stated on the pages read.[11]

Price and engagement

Custom proposal only; no public dental price.[10][11]

Proposal-led engagement with white-label availability; term and remedy are unpublished.[11]

How dental is included

Dental practice sits alongside wellness clinics and hospitals as a named healthcare buyer, with local directories, community sites and regional publications as the local route. Confirm which of those channels your campaign actually gets.[10]

Control

Review every site and article before publishing and expect live URL reporting. Put the approval step and the follow-status assumption in the proposal before signing.[11]

Tied at rank 4

Stellar SEO

PBS 64.6SFS 60.2OS 62.4
Stellar SEO logo
Best for

Practices needing HIPAA-aware healthcare placements[12][13]

Introduction

Stellar SEO is a healthcare link building provider whose compliance language — HIPAA, FDA advertising rules, medical review boards and BAA experience — is the most explicit YMYL wording among these providers. You buy manual guest posts in tiered DR bands with US-based writing and a 27-point quality check. The differentiator is compliance process over dental specificity: private practices are named buyers, but dentistry itself is not named and no local dental process is published.[12][13]

What they do

Manual outreach places guest posts on DR30+ sites with 1,000+ monthly organic visits and geo-matched audiences, written by US-based writers, with white-label reporting and volume discounts from ten links. Stated placement target is about 30 days.[13]

Our verdict

We recommend Stellar SEO for practices where compliance review matters more than dental-channel specificity. The HIPAA, FDA and BAA wording plus stated dofollow guest posts with no sponsored tags give regulated buyers something concrete to contract against. The trade-off: dental is never named, no local or DSO process is published and no dental campaign was inspected, so buyers wanting dental-matched publishers should weigh Rhino Rank or Direction instead.[12][13]

Strengths

  • Explicit HIPAA, FDA and BAA healthcare operating claims.[12]
  • Guest posts state dofollow links with no sponsored tags and natural in-article anchors.[13]

Limitations

  • Dental specialty and local or DSO process are not established on the pages read.[12]

Price and engagement

Per-link guest posts in DR-tiered cards with volume discounts from ten links; no current price is published.[13]

Healthcare campaigns are enquiry-led; replacement and refund detail was not captured on the extract read.[12][13]

Healthcare compliance

BAA experience, HIPAA handling, FDA advertising awareness and medical review boards sit on the healthcare service page. Confirm which review steps apply to dental copy in writing, since dental itself is unnamed.[12]

Guest-post unit

DR30+ minimum, 1,000+ organic visits, geo-matched audiences, dofollow and no sponsored tags define the unit, with about 30-day delivery. Guest-post exclusions name casino, gambling, adult and essay writing — dental is not excluded.[13]

Rank 6

Direction

Direction logo
Best for

Dental groups bundling PR links with local SEO[19][20]

Introduction

Direction is an Austin, Texas healthcare marketing firm led by chief executive Chris Kirksey, with a dedicated dentist link-building page. You engage as a dental SEO client: content marketing, pitching to health journalists, approval and publication, alongside local SEO, business-profile and paid-media work. The differentiator is group fit: the homepage names 20+ location dental groups as a served buyer, with calls, appointments and leads as stated outcomes.[19][20][21]

What they do

As a dental SEO client you get content marketing, editorial pitching to health journalists with approval before publication, plus local SEO, business-profile management and paid media. Enquiries run through the Austin office on 737-510-2477.[19][20][21]

Our verdict

We recommend Direction for dental groups that want a healthcare SEO partner with an explicit dentist page and multi-location experience. Association, trade-press, journalist-request and sponsorship routes plus stated call and appointment outcomes fit group buying better than per-link SKUs. The trade-off: engagement is quote-led full-funnel SEO with no public price, no named dental case study and follow status assumed, so buyers wanting defined per-link units should weigh Rhino Rank instead.[19][20][21]

Strengths

  • Dedicated dentist link-building page covering associations, local and journalist-request channels.[19]
  • Homepage names 20+ location dental groups as a served buyer.[20]

Limitations

  • No public programme price; engagement is quote-led.[19][21]
  • Link follow status is assumed rather than stated; no named dental campaign was inspected.[19][20]

Price and engagement

Investment and partnership framing with no amount on the contact or dentist pages.[19][21]

Average client relationship of over 36 months is claimed; term and remedy are unpublished.[21]

Dentist link page

Editorial pitching, associations, local community, journalist requests and sponsorship mentions make up the channel mix, with writer approval mentioned. Content is pitched around searched-for dental questions rather than generic health topics.[19]

Buyer type

Healthcare practices that can invest and scale, from single sites to 20+ location dental groups. Confirm price, term and reporting before signing, since none is published.[20][21]

Rank 7

Reboot Online

PBS 56.4SFS 63.6OS 59.9
Reboot Online logo
Best for

Practices commissioning data-led dental digital PR[14][15]

Introduction

Reboot Online is a digital PR agency with its own dentist service page selling tailored media campaigns and links. You commission news stories and data studies pitched to a journalist and newspaper database, with reporting tied to rankings and commercial impact. The differentiator is earned national press for dentistry: an attributed client comment piece on teeth and health earned 19 reported placements including The Sun, with explicit follow links.[14][15]

What they do

News stories and data-led studies are pitched to local and international press from a journalist database; campaigns can target new treatments, local growth or seasonal angles. Engagement is on monthly retainers with guaranteed minima.[14][15]

Our verdict

We recommend Reboot Online for practices that want national and local earned coverage rather than per-link guest posts. The dedicated dentist page and an attributed dentistry example with follow links in national titles are rare dental-specific PR evidence. The trade-off: retainers are quote-led with amounts truncated on the pages read, clinician sign-off is unpublished and no first-placement timing is stated, so buyers wanting defined units and written remedies should weigh Rhino Rank instead.[14][15]

Strengths

  • Own dentist digital PR service page with tailored dental media campaigns.[14]
  • Attributed dentistry placements including follow links in The Sun.[14]

Limitations

  • Retainer amounts truncated; no public price to compare.[15]
  • Clinician sign-off and dental first-placement timing are unpublished.[14]

Price and engagement

Monthly retainers with guaranteed minima; the amount wording was truncated on the pages read.[15]

Remedy and first-placement timing are unpublished on the extracts read.[14][15]

Dentist offer

Tailored coverage for new-treatment launches, local growth or seasonal campaigns, sold from a dedicated dentist page rather than a generic PR menu. Confirm which journalist database tiers your retainer reaches.[14]

Example placement

A professional comment piece on teeth and health earned 19 reported placements with follow links in The Sun, Daily Post and Republika. Read the count as provider-reported delivery, not guaranteed replication.[14]

Rank 8

Loganix

Loganix logo
Best for

Teams approving health-blog guest posts[16]

Introduction

Loganix sells done-for-you guest posts on DA30+ health blogs with stated traffic floors: prospecting, writing, placement and white-label reporting, paying only for approved links. You submit target URLs and anchors, then approve or replace domains from the shortlist. The differentiator is buyer control over a single clear SKU — though the niche is health, not dental, and associations, trade press and sponsorship sit outside it.[16]

What they do

Share target URLs and anchors, approve or replace proposed domains, and receive roughly 500-word content from US and Canadian writers with white-label reporting. Average delivery is about one month, with rejected placements replaced.[16]

Our verdict

We recommend Loganix for teams whose purchase is a health-site guest post with a domain veto rather than a dental PR programme. Domain approval before placement, replacement of rejected sites and stated DA30+ and traffic floors make this the most controllable per-link health SKU here. The trade-off: dentistry is never named, there is no dental-channel mix and follow status is assumed rather than stated, so buyers wanting dental-matched publishers should weigh Rhino Rank instead.[16]

Strengths

  • Domain approval before placement with replacement if a site is rejected.[16]
  • DA30+ health blogs with stated traffic floors.[16]

Limitations

  • Health niche only: no dental-channel mix of associations, sponsorship or trade press.[16]
  • Link follow status is assumed rather than stated on the page read.[16]

Price and engagement

Per-link orders in Basic and Premium cards including content; no current price is published.[16]

Pay only for approved links received; rejected placements are replaced with equal or better.[16]

Health guest-post workflow

URL and anchor in, domain shortlist to approve, write, place, white-label report — with about one month average delivery. Keep your anchor list treatment-specific, since the publishers are health-generic.[16]

What this is not

This SKU is not citations, not dental-association outreach and not local sponsorship. Buy it as controlled health placements alongside, not instead of, dental-channel work.[16]

Rank 9

The HOTH

The HOTH logo
Best for

Ortho practices buying managed SEO that includes links[17][18]

Introduction

The HOTH sells HOTH X, a managed SEO retainer with a dedicated manager covering links, content and technical SEO across tiered monthly budgets. Its dental evidence is a Texas clear-aligner orthodontics case across three offices with bilingual content. The differentiator is full-service scope: links arrive inside a managed growth retainer that reports consultations and traffic, rather than as standalone dental placements.[17][18]

What they do

HOTH X opens with an audit and easy-win keywords, then runs content, links and technical work on a recurring monthly retainer. The ortho case paired aligner and braces content with Spanish-language pages for bilingual patients.[17][18]

Our verdict

We recommend The HOTH for multi-location ortho and aligner practices that want a managed SEO retainer rather than a dental PR desk. The three-office Texas case with bilingual SEO and a consultations-and-traffic goal maps directly onto group ortho buying. The trade-off: links are one module inside HOTH X, the dental-channel mix is unpublished, follow status is assumed and no link-level timing or remedy is stated, so buyers wanting standalone dental placements should weigh Rhino Rank instead.[17][18]

Strengths

  • Texas multi-office clear-aligner case including bilingual SEO.[17]
  • HOTH X publishes tiered monthly budget cards for the managed scope.[18]

Limitations

  • Links are a module inside managed SEO, not a dental-association or sponsorship specialism.[17][18]
  • Follow status is assumed rather than stated; link-level remedy was not captured.[18]

Price and engagement

Recurring monthly managed SEO across Starter to Enterprise budget tiers; no current price is published.[18]

The case describes a six-month link-growth window as delivery history, not a product timing promise.[17]

Orthodontics case

A Texas provider with three offices and Spanish-speaking patients commissioned HOTH X for clear aligners; the provider reports 500 new links in six months against roughly 15 a year before. Read the counts as provider-reported history, and note the image credit is not the client name.[17]

What HOTH X includes

Link building, content, technical SEO, a dedicated manager and monthly budget tiers. Confirm which link channels, timing and remedies your tier gets, since the pages read do not state them.[18]

Buyer guide

Dental link building is not a citation package

Citations on health directories, chambers and review profiles prove a practice exists at an address; they do not pass editorial authority. This page ranks earned and managed links — placements a publisher chose to print — not address-verification products.[16]

Dental content sits under clinical standards, so generic lifestyle guest posts are a weak starting point for a practice. Buy placements where the publisher’s topic matches the treatment, not where the metrics look cheapest.[1]

Channels that match a dental practice

The channels that fit a practice are dental associations and specialty bodies, dental trade press, local news, health publications, genuine community sponsorship with a real local page, and journalist-request commentary.[7][19]

A national health-blog guest post is not a substitute for local editorial when the buyer is a single-site practice. Match the channel to the patients you want: local press for local bookings, trade titles for referral credibility.[7][16]

Practice, specialty and DSO are different jobs

Orthodontics, implants, paediatric and cosmetic pages need specialty-matched publishers, not a generic dental label. The ortho case here won on aligner and braces content, not homepage links.[17]

Multi-location and group work needs location-page allocation across sites; a homepage-only campaign is a different product. Ask how links split across locations before comparing retainers.[1][20]

What to ask before commissioning

Ask who approves clinical claims — the practice, a dentist, or nobody — and which local markets and treatment URLs sit in scope. Then ask whether you approve publishers before outreach and what happens if a link is removed.[4][11][12][16]

Put the answers in the brief or proposal. Approval rights, markets and remedies agreed up front are worth more than any placement count promised in a sales call.[4][11]

Budgets and engagement models

Per-link health guest posts, curated insertions, digital PR retainers and bundled managed SEO are four different products with incomparable prices. Compare what each unit buys — a placement, a story, or a managed programme — before comparing money.[2][15][16][18]

No current dental prices are published on the pages read, and digital PR stays quote-led. Settle the unit, the minimum and the remedy in writing rather than anchoring on case budgets.[2][9][15]

Compliance without a scare section

HIPAA and BAA handling and medical review matter exactly where the provider publishes them — Stellar SEO’s healthcare page is the concrete example here. Treat them as contracting points, not as a reason to avoid the category.[12]

Where no clinical-review workflow is published, confirm sign-off in the brief. An unpublished process is a question to ask, not a verdict on the provider.

How this page differs from healthcare and local rankings

Healthcare rankings cover hospitals, telehealth and pharma; this page covers dentists, orthodontists, practices and groups. A provider can appear on both where its evidence spans both.[10][12]

Local citation and local link products already rank address and locality mechanics; every criterion here judges dental-practice fit instead. If your need is listings verification rather than editorial links, a citations product is the right shelf.[16]

FAQs

What counts as a dental link building service here?

A current managed service that acquires third-party or earned-PR links, paired with stated dental acceptance or demonstrated dental, ortho or group delivery, counts here. Generic all-industries outreach and citation-only products do not qualify.[1][5]

Rhino Rank’s attributed practice campaign and Click Intelligence’s named dentist title show the two routes in: dental delivery, or stated dental acceptance.[1][5]

Are directory citations the same as dental backlinks?

No. Citations verify a practice’s existence and address; backlinks are editorial placements that pass authority, and this ranking scores only the latter.[16]

Loganix states the boundary directly: its health guest-post SKU is not citations, not association outreach and not local sponsorship.[16]

Do dental associations and sponsorships matter?

Yes, as acquisition channels when they produce a genuine editorial or organisation page — not as a stand-in for a citation product.[7][19]

Direction’s dentist page describes association, trade-press and community sponsorship routes, and JBH’s dental case earned coverage in dental-trade titles.[7][19]

Can a healthcare link builder serve a dental practice?

Only where it states dental, healthcare or private-practice acceptance, or shows dental delivery.[10][12]

Stan Ventures names dental practices as healthcare buyers and Stellar SEO names private practices; confirm dental scope in writing before signing either.[10][12]

How should a DSO or multi-location group buy links?

Ask for location-page allocation across sites, not homepage-only links.[7][17][20]

Direction names 20+ location dental groups as buyers, JBH aimed trend pieces at local pages for two practice sites, and HOTH X served a three-office ortho group.[7][17][20]

Can we approve sites and clinical copy?

Often. Loganix and Stan Ventures publish domain or article approval, and Rhino Rank offers site pre-approval when requested before ordering.[4][11][16]

Clinical sign-off is frequently unpublished, so confirm who approves dental claims in the brief; Stellar SEO’s published compliance review is the most explicit exception here.[11][12]

How soon do links appear?

Rhino Rank targets 14–21 days for curated insertions, Loganix averages about one month for health guest posts and Stellar SEO about 30 days.[2][13][16]

Digital PR and managed SEO publish no dental first-link timing on the pages read, so agree a window in the proposal.[14][17]

Will links fill the appointment book?

No independent booking test sits behind this page, and provider cases report traffic, enquiries or consultations instead.[1][7][17]

Rhino Rank frames patient inquiries as its case objective, JBH aimed local pages at enquiries and HOTH X aimed at consultations. Treat those as attributed claims, not guaranteed new patients.[1][7][17]

Is this the same ranking as healthcare or local citations?

No. This page covers dentists, orthodontists, practices and groups, and every criterion judges dental-practice fit rather than hospital scope or citation mechanics.[12][16]

If your need is listings verification rather than editorial links, a citations product is the right shelf.[16]

Should a single-site practice and a dental group buy the same way?

No. A single site needs local editorial and treatment-page links pointing at its own pages, the shape Rhino Rank’s attributed clinic campaign shows.[1][17][20]

A group needs location-page allocation and an approval workflow across sites, the shape Direction’s 20+ location buyer and HOTH X’s three-office case show. Confirm the split across locations before comparing retainers.[17][20]

How this ranking is built

This ranking compares 9 providers.

Two assessments produce this ranking: the Provider Buyer Score, which rates the provider overall under our M1.3 methodology, and the Service Fit Score from this page’s fixed dental rubric — placement relevance 0.18, local and multi-location fit 0.16, clinical review 0.14, outreach channels 0.14, treatment-page mapping 0.12, demonstrated dental delivery 0.12, contextual do-follow 0.08, inquiry measurement 0.06. Overall Score is the geometric mean of the two: sqrt(Provider Buyer Score × Service Fit Score). Every provider fact comes from that provider’s own current pages, read on 6 September 2026. Full method: /methodology/.[22]

The full method is on the methodology page.

Summary

Provider Buyer Score (PBS) is the sum of the eight weighted buyer criteria. Service Fit Score (SFS) is the sum of the exact production contributions shown for this page. Overall Score is sqrt(PBS × SFS). Rank and tie status come from the production store.

Rules and dates

  • Ties: providers are grouped when their Overall Score gap from the group leader is below 0.5; tied providers are ordered alphabetically. Rank and tie status above are store-derived.
  • Conflicts: the most buyer-favourable specific current public promise that would reasonably form part of the purchase is credited. The conflict is recorded unless the versions can be reconciled; the same promise is not counted twice.
  • Display rounding: PBS, SFS, and Overall Score are calculated from unrounded production values and displayed to one decimal place.
  • Evidence cutoff: 2026-09-06. Page last updated: 2026-09-06.

Editorial standards and corrections

Every provider fact on this page cites that provider’s own current pages, read on 6 September 2026 and dated in the source list. Where a provider has not published a term, the comparison says so directly — an absent term is not a bad term.

Close results share a rank when the gap to the group leader is under half a point, with alphabetical display inside the group. Evidence closes on 6 September 2026; prices and terms change, so treat every figure as dated.

Spot an error? Every provider profile on this site carries a "Request a change" form, and anyone — provider or reader — can submit evidence through it. We acknowledge within 5 working days and respond substantively within 20. Successful corrections produce a corrected record and a dated public correction note.

Rhino Rank’s current terms honour the niche, topical or editorial relevance promised in the service description or approved brief, and every delivered link carries twelve-month replacement. The first order in any service is refundable up to the lesser of the amount paid or US$550 when requested within 14 calendar days after full delivery; note that site pre-approval is available if asked in advance of the order.[2][4]
