How Molar City Ranks Clinics — and Why We Take No Money From Them

Most "best dentist" lists you'll find online are paid directories — clinics buy their spot. Ours is different, and the difference is the whole point. Here's exactly how Molar City ranks clinics, and why we take no money from them.

The digital footprint score (0–100)

We score every clinic on measurable, public signals: verified Google review volume (35 pts, log-scaled), average rating (22), social presence (13), a professional website (12), Google photos (10), profile completeness (5) and a verified Google Business Profile (3). The same formula applies to every clinic — no manual or paid adjustments.

Why "digital footprint"

For a patient traveling abroad, a clinic's online footprint is the best public proxy for how established, transparent and trusted it is. Hundreds of real reviews are hard to fake; a complete, verified profile signals accountability.

Why we take no money

Because the moment a clinic can pay for position, the ranking becomes an ad. We rank every clinic in a city — not a paid "Top 10" — so you get the full, honest picture. Independence is our only product.

What the score is — and isn't

A high score means a strong, trusted online presence — a powerful signal of an established clinic, but not a clinical judgment of the dentistry itself. Use it to build a shortlist, then confirm credentials and get a treatment plan. Explore the full methodology or jump into the Top clinics in Mexico.
