How Arkansas Dentist license verification works
A Dentist in Arkansas is licensed by the AR Dental Board. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.
Fields returned for this board: full_name address license_number license_type status issued expires additional_info.
Board note: AR-STATESOLUTIONS (board ASBDE): dds = Dentist, rdh = Hygienist, dental_assistant = Registered Dental Assistant (plain-digit numbers; the same digits can exist across types -> by-number narrows by claimed type then name). Licensee page adds X-Ray / Polishing / Nitrous Oxide / Sedation Monitoring permissions. Live 2026-11-04.
What a Dentist license check returns
| Field check | Passes when |
|---|---|
license_number | Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros |
name | Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname |
license_type | The record is a Dentist license, strictly (no near-miss types) |
status | The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag |
expires | Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it |
disciplinary_actions | Recorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped |
Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.
Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact and multistate Dentist licenses
Dentist licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact. When the Arkansas record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
