Trust & verification Β· Nigeria

Every clinic verified by hand. Every time.

Health is too important for self-attestation. Before any clinic appears on DentaCue, our compliance team confirms their licence with MDCN, visits the premises in person, and audits credentials. Annually, every clinic.

The 4-step verification process

  1. 01
    Document upload
    SLA Β· 24 hours

    Clinic submits MDCN licence, premises certificate, owner ID, and at least two practitioner licences through ClinicOS.

  2. 02
    Regulator cross-check
    SLA Β· 3 business days

    We verify every licence number directly against the MDCN register. Expired or invalid licences are flagged and escalated.

  3. 03
    Premises visit
    SLA Β· 5–7 business days

    A DentaCue compliance officer visits the clinic in person. Photos, sterilisation logs, and equipment are checked against the application.

  4. 04
    Verified status
    SLA Β· Live

    Once approved, the clinic gets the verified badge. Re-verification runs annually, plus on every licence renewal cycle.

Total SLA: 7 business days from full document upload

If we miss the SLA, the clinic's first month of ClinicOS is free. Compliance status is visible to clinics in real time on their dashboard.
