A tooth that suddenly hurts doesn't care about your insurance or your commute, which is why the dentists in Denver people trust tend to be the ones close to work or home. Metropolitan Dental Care has 1,121 Google reviews at 4.9, and every practice on this page sits between 4.6 and 4.9, so the real differences are location, hours and how each office handles comfort and billing.

Short answer: Metropolitan Dental Care leads this Denver list with a 4.9 rating across 1,121 Google reviews, followed by Wynkoop Dentistry (4.8, 762 reviews) and Espire Dental Riverfront (4.8, 681 reviews). Costs depend on your treatment and insurance, so ask each office for a written estimate.

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 scoring works

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 other Denver dentists. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of patients carries more weight than a 4.9 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently patients still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What affects dentist costs in Denver?
