Behind the scorecards

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated the practice, compared with the other cosmetic dentists we looked at. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people counts for more than a perfect score from a handful. Recency shows how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What shapes cosmetic dentistry costs

We don’t list prices for these practices, because none states fees we could source. Cosmetic costs depend on the treatment (whitening, bonding, veneers, aligners or implants), how many teeth are involved, the materials used and whether insurance covers any of it. Ask for a written treatment plan with a price breakdown, and ask about payment plans.
