Our take: Strong on chairside care, with a lower overall rating than the rest because of front-desk and billing comments. Ask about scheduling and insurance billing when you book.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How the scorecards work

Each number comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated the practice, compared with other Charleston dentists listed. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of patients counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency shows how recently reviews are still arriving.

What drives a dentist’s bill in Charleston

None of these practices publish prices, so there is no fee table to show. A visit’s cost depends on whether it is a cleaning, a filling or an implant, whether you carry insurance, and whether the office is in-network. Simpson Dental’s site, for example, says it is out of network with every plan and offers financing instead.

Questions to ask the front desk

  • Are you in-network with my insurance, or will I pay first and file the claim?

  • Will you give me a written estimate before any treatment plan starts?
  • Is there a fee for the first consultation?
