Verification standards

What SmileMerit verification means.

Verification should build trust without overstating what SmileMerit has confirmed.

What we may review

Business identity, location information, provider category, service categories, profile completeness, and provider-supplied updates.

What verification does not mean

Verification is not a clinical endorsement, does not guarantee results, and does not replace a dental consultation.

Provider updates

Providers can request corrections, claim profiles, or submit updated service details for review.

Trust and transparency

Built to help users choose with more confidence.

Independent

SmileMerit is designed as a comparison platform, not a clinic or single-provider promotion.

Structured profiles

Provider pages organise services, fit, location, and profile completeness in a consistent way.

!

Responsible guidance

Content is educational and does not replace advice from a qualified dental professional.

$

Clear disclosures

Sponsored placements and paid relationships should be clearly labelled and separated from editorial guidance.
