If you live in a city, you’ll have dozens or even hundreds of dentists to choose from. DenScore will help you find the best dentist nearby so you can get the most appropriate and affordable dental care possible.

How does DenScore determine who the best dentists are?

DenScore rates dentists based on their clinical qualifications, patient satisfaction, scheduling flexibility, and other criteria. If dentists request to be included in our Best Dentist list, they are thoroughly vetted and must meet our strict quality control standards to be listed. Some of the dentists below may pay for a sponsored listing in order to appear at the top of the list but they are subject to our strict quality control guidelines like every other dentist. Whether you view our Best Dentist list or any other website, we always recommend that you do your own research before choosing a dentist. Please view our Terms of Service for more information.

Will dental insurance help me save money on dental care?

Dental treatment can be very affordable when people find the best dental insurance plan for their needs. Families that qualify for low-cost medical care can get Medicaid dental coverage, which provides free dental care to children. However, most states cover only a limited number of dental procedures for adults. For elderly patients, regular Medicare doesn’t cover dental care, but many Medicare Advantage plans offer excellent dental coverage, enabling seniors to save a lot of money on expensive dental procedures.

What are other ways to spend less money on dental care?

The best way to spend less money on dental care is to prevent problems from starting in the first place. Doing these things for your oral hygiene, limiting sugar intake and avoiding tobacco products will keep your teeth and gums healthy over time. If you have dental insurance, you’ll usually save a lot of money by seeing an in-network dentist. But if you don’t have dental insurance, have no fear! Some dental offices provide membership plans that can make dental care more affordable. Also, dentists’ prices vary considerably, so we recommend that you call a few dental offices to compare the cost of the same dental procedure if paying with cash.

How do I know if I’m getting the right dental treatment?

Whether you have a tooth that needs to be fixed, a gum problem, or concerns about your smile, there are likely multiple ways to treat your condition. DenScore’s free online dental tool will provide you with information so you can ask your dentist the right questions and get the high-quality dental care you deserve.
