How Louisiana Dentist license verification works

A Dentist in Louisiana is licensed by the LA 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: license_number license_type status issued expires disciplinary_action disciplinary_document last_updated.

Board note: member-base.net classic ASP; POST directory_result.asp txtlicno|txtlname+txtfname → table D/H, License#, names, Status (ACT), Disciplinary Action (Yes → lsbddocs.org order link), Issue/Exp dates, Last Updated (data_as_of); 15 rows/page, GET ?pageno=N&txtlname=&txtfname=. Page says primary source verification of current licensure; retired/revoked not listed. Numbers repeat between D and H (5252). Dental assistants not on the site.

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 Louisiana 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.
