All statements are required.

Accuracy I confirm that every statement in this nomination is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge, and that all credentials listed are genuine and current.

Authorization to verify I authorize Find Top Dentists, should it choose to, to verify the licensure and credentials given here with state boards and other authorities, and to contact each dentist listed as a reference. I give this authorization either as the nominee myself or as a nominator acting with the nominee's permission. I understand Find Top Dentists is not obliged to check anything, and that a profile may be published on the strength of this attestation alone.

Understanding of the process I understand that nomination does not guarantee placement and that a nomination is reviewed by an editor before anything is published. I understand that no fee affects selection or list order.

Responsibility I accept sole legal responsibility for the content I have submitted here, confirm that I am entitled to submit it — including the photograph — and agree to indemnify Find Top Dentists against any claim arising from it.
