Survey of Dentists Each year Key Professional Media sends out thousands of ballots to dentists asking them to nominate colleagues they know to be exceptional in their specified field. Dentists are asked to consider the following question: 'If you needed care in one of the following specialties, which dentist would you choose?'Numerous safeguards are in place to prevent ballot manipulation, and dentists may not self-nominate.

Candidate Search Key Media 's research staff also contributes to the pool of candidates by searching medical databases, online sources, and publications for dentists who have attained certain credentials, honors or professional achievements-what they term 'Star Search Credentials'.

Research Next, each nominee in the candidate pool is evaluated by the research staff, using a set of ten established indicators with varying point values. Dentists are evaluated on the following indicators:

Blue Ribbon Panel Review Nominees are then grouped into specialties. Dentists in each area, who have the highest scores from the nomination and evaluation steps, are invited to serve on a 'blue ribbon panel.'

The Final Selection The last step is to total the points received from nominations, research, and blue ribbon panel review. Only the highest scoring doctors are included on the Super Dentists list. The Super Dentists list is limited to 10% of the dentists within the respective state or region.Texas Super Dentists is published in a special advertising section in the November issue of Texas Monthly magazine.
