An independent, open-methodology index of dental clinics in Belize. We score publicly verifiable factors — information transparency, price transparency, reputation signals, documented infrastructure, communication accessibility, and search visibility — on a 100-point scale. We do not rate clinical quality, and we do not sell ranking positions.

City score = the average Transparency & Trust score of the clinics listed in that city in this index. It reflects how publicly verifiable local clinics are — not clinical quality — and covers only the clinics listed here.

Clinics are excluded from a profile when the qualifying service is verifiably absent or when we could not verify the data needed for this profile.
Scores are normalized to a 100-point scale per the open methodology, including a red-flag penalty of up to 20 points. Category columns show raw points. Unverified data scores 0 points and is listed on each clinic page as "unverified", not as a negative finding.
Single-dentist practice on Magazine Road operating since 1984 under Dr. Osbert O. Usher. It is the only clinic found in Belize that publishes a standing price list — thirteen treatments quoted in US dollars, from fillings at $35-40 to implants at $1,500-2,500 — alongside eleven separate service pages, an after-hours emergency number and a dental-tourism page for overseas patients.
Practice on Leandro Salazar Drive off the Bullet Tree Road, run by dental surgeon Dr. Megan Ryan and carrying the largest public review base of any dental practice in San Ignacio. Its practice domain belizedentistry.com, which served an "under construction" holding page earlier in September 2026, now carries a full site: six named dentists and specialists, six service pages, panoramic and CBCT imaging, and an online booking form with a choice of service and time. No prices are published.
Family practice on Mercy Lane staffed by three Habet dentists — Dr. Pedro Habet (orthodontist) with Dr. Bryan Habet and Dr. Jorge Habet (dental surgeons) — treating patients from six months of age. The site describes computerised digital radiography, CAD/CAM ceramic and zirconia restorations and single-use instrument protocols, offers WhatsApp contact, and carries the largest public Google review base found in Belize City. No prices are published.
Two-dentist practice at the corner of St. Joseph and St. Thomas Streets in Belize City, run by Dr. Alfonso Palomo (general dentistry and endodontics) and Dra. Virginia Diaz Palomo (orthodontics), who both qualified at Universidad Francisco Marroquin in Guatemala in 2001 and moved their practice to Belize in 2016. The site publishes a six-area service list, both dentists' training histories and a separate emergency number, but no prices.
Clinic in West Landivar whose site publishes a 33-treatment guide across eight categories — from digital X-ray and deep cleaning to zirconium crowns, clear aligners and implants — and takes appointment requests through WhatsApp. The practice manages its own Google Business listing, which is titled "Innova Dental Care / Dr. Dwayne Usher"; the website itself names no dentist and quotes no prices, and the clinic is closed at weekends.
Practice at the Welcome Center on Savannah Street run by dental surgeon Dr. Carlos Falck, and the most visible dental channel in San Ignacio: it appears in four of the five canonical patient queries for the town. Its service list is a banner in its own window — nine treatments from digital X-rays and gum-disease treatment to wisdom-tooth extraction — photographed as the cover of its Facebook page; its website, branded Smart Smile Orthodontics Belize, publishes opening hours and online booking for three treatments, names no dentist and quotes no prices. Two Google listings describe the same address and phone number — "Dr. Carlos Falck - Dental Surgeon" (4.6 from 10 reviews, unclaimed) and "Smart Smile Belize" (4.3 from 6, the one the practice manages) — and the figures used here are from the first. Reviews on the second listing praise a Dr. Medina rather than Dr. Falck, which points to a predecessor or a colleague at the same address; that is not established here and is left as an open question.
The only business on Ambergris Caye that Google indexes under the dental-clinic category as a dental practice in its own right, run by Dr. Franklin Hernández, DDS. It keeps no website: everything it publishes about itself is on the banner it uses as its Facebook cover, which carries the dentist's name, a ten-treatment service list from fillings and root canals to third-molar surgery and braces, Monday-to-Saturday opening hours, two phone numbers, an e-mail address and the street it stands on, Pescador Drive. What is missing sits on the other side: the Google listing it manages itself still publishes no address, no hours, no dentist and no services, and carries a single public review.
Single-dentist practice in the Emporium Plaza in Belmopan, named after the dentist who runs it. Its Facebook page is the most visible dental channel in the town — it ranks in four of the five canonical Belmopan patient queries — and the practice's own street sign, photographed as that page's profile picture, sets out its hours and the four things it offers: appointments, emergencies, general dentistry and braces. There is no website and no price is published anywhere; a post showing a treatment result asks patients to message for prices. It also carries the weakest public reputation of any clinic in this index for Belize: 2.0 from five Google reviews, three of them one-star and each describing a booked appointment that the practice did not honour.
Clinic on the Hummingbird Highway in Belmopan whose only published channel is a Facebook page — the address the clinic itself gives as its website on its Google listing. That page publishes a service list (cleaning, fillings, crowns, root canal treatment and partial or total dentures), a photograph of the premises, a relocation notice from March 2025 and a post signed by the dentist, Jolin Yi-Ching Huang, but no prices are published. It is the only Belmopan business Google indexes under a dentist category, and the two channels give different house numbers on the same highway.
Practice on St Thomas Street with one of the larger public review bases in Belize City. It runs no website: its only channel is a Google Business listing it manages itself, which carries the address, phone number and opening hours but no dentist name, service list or prices. Reviewers consistently name a Dr. David Gonzalez and describe implants, surgical extractions and same-day emergency care — but none of that comes from the practice, which publishes nothing about who works there or what it offers, and that gap is what the score reflects.
Long-standing practice on Albert Street in the commercial centre of Belize City, recommended by name in visitor forums. It publishes nothing itself: it runs no website and its Google listing has never been claimed by the business, so address, phone and opening hours are all that can be established, and none of them come from the practice.
Practice on George Price Avenue at the eastern end of the twin towns, in Santa Elena: its own Facebook page and the OpenStreetMap record both place it there, while the Google listing it manages gives the address under the joint municipality name San Ignacio. It runs two channels — that listing and a Facebook page with 1,500 followers — and neither names a dentist, lists a treatment or quotes a price; between them they publish an address, two phone numbers and opening hours. The practice has no website.
Practice on West Street in central San Ignacio, open four days a week. Nothing about it is published by the practice itself: it has no website, its Google listing has never been claimed, and its address, phone number and hours are known only from that listing and from third-party Belize directories that mirror it.
Practice on Nim Li Punit Street in Belmopan, a block from the Emporium Plaza. Nothing about it is published by the practice itself: it has no website, its Google listing has never been claimed, and its address and phone number are known only from that listing and from two third-party directories that mirror it.
