Dentists

Qualifications

All of the dentists of Castle Dental or affiliated offices have a DMD or DDS degree from an accredited school and must pass the state board for licensing in the state in which they are practicing. In addition, we employ a 3rd party to conduct a thorough background check that verifies:


1) Schooling
2) Licensing
3) Valid CPR certification
4) No egregious complaints or suits against them
5) No criminal background
6) Valid license from DEA for dispensing medication
 
In order to maintain their license each dentist is required by law to obtain approximately 15-30 continuing education units per year, provided in-house by their affiliated dental group.

Contracting

All Insurance carriers require that a dentist accepting their insurance sign a contract with them. With 150-200 different kinds of insurance, filling out 150-200 sets of paperwork would be a daunting task for an individual dentist to undertake. Our centralized resources allow all our dentists to be contracted with a multitude of insurance carriers.

Approval Rating – On average, approximately 80% of patients would recommend an affiliated dental office to their friends and family.
