Frequently asked questions

How do I verify a dentist's license in South Carolina?

Use the South Carolina Board of Dentistry online license lookup. Search by the dentist's last name or license number, then review status, issue date, and any disciplinary actions.

Where is the official South Carolina dentist license lookup?

The official lookup is hosted by the South Carolina Board of Dentistry at https://verify.llronline.com/LicLookup/Dent/Dent.aspx.

What does it mean if a South Carolina dentist's license is "inactive" or "expired"?

An inactive or expired license means the dentist is not currently authorized to practice in South Carolina. They cannot legally provide dental care until the license is renewed or reinstated.

Does South Carolina publish dentist disciplinary actions?

Yes. The South Carolina Board of Dentistry publishes board orders and disciplinary actions on its website, and they appear on the licensee's record in the license lookup tool.

Is the federal NPI Registry the same as a South Carolina dental license?
