Top Dentists 2025: Is Your Dentist on the List?
This listing of the metro’s top dentists is excerpted from the national 2025 topDentists
list. The KC list is based on thousands of detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers. A listing cannot be purchased. All dentists that appear on this list have been voted in by their peers. The complete database is available at usatopdentists.com. For more information, call 706-364-0853; write PO Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903; email help@usatopdentists.com or visit usatopdentists.com.
Selection Process
“If your friend needed a dentist, who would you refer them to?”
This is the question thousands of dentists were asked to determine who the Top Dentists should be. Dentists and specialists were asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, bedside manner, use of new techniques and technologies and, of course, physical results.
The online poll was listed with the American Dental Association, as well as local dental societies, thus allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists were also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists that they felt should be included in the list. Respondents were asked to put aside any personal bias or political motivations and use only their knowledge of their peers’ work when evaluating the other nominees.
Voters were asked to individually evaluate the practitioners on their ballot whose work they are familiar with. Once the balloting was completed, the scores were compiled and averaged. The numerical average required for inclusion varies depending on the average for all the nominees within the specialty and the geographic area. Borderline cases were given careful consideration by the editors of the topDentists organization. Voting characteristics and comments were taken into consideration while making decisions.
Once the decisions were finalized, the included dentists were checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing.
There are many fine dentists, of course, who are not included in this list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in the United States. A dentist’s inclusion on the topDentists list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, we remain confident that the polling methodology largely corrects for any biases and that these lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate and useful list of dentists available anywhere.
