Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A cracked filling or a wisdom tooth that won't stop throbbing rarely waits for business hours. The dentists in Seattle below have logged 3,640 Google reviews between them, and every one sits at 4.8 or higher, so the real differences show up in what they specialize in and how fast they can see you, not in raw star power.

Short answer: 4th & Seneca Dental tops the list at a perfect 5.0 from 797 reviews, built on cosmetic and implant work in downtown Seattle. Close behind, Dental Care Seattle holds 4.9 from 674 reviews on First Hill, and First Hill Dental Center brings the largest review base on this page at 903, rated 4.8. Expect a standard cleaning to run in the low hundreds of dollars before insurance.

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 we score

Rating is the live Google average at the time we checked. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a rating, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence blends the two, since a high rating on a handful of reviews carries less weight than the same rating across hundreds. Recency tracks how recently people are still reviewing the practice. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does a dentist cost in Seattle? (2026)

Cost depends heavily on whether you’re paying out of pocket or through insurance, and whether the visit is preventive or restorative. Ask for a written quote before any treatment beyond a standard cleaning, since several reviews above mention surprise costs tied to insurance network status.

Serving all of Seattle

These practices cluster around downtown, First Hill, and Queen Anne, all a short drive or bus ride from Belltown, Capitol Hill, and the International District. If you’re searching for a dentist near me in Seattle, most of the options above sit within a few blocks of each other in the core of the city, with parking or garage access noted by several reviewers.

What to ask before you book a dentist in Seattle

  • Is this office in-network with my specific insurance plan, not just the same insurance company?
  • What’s the full cost if the recommended treatment goes beyond a standard cleaning?
  • Can I get a written treatment plan before anything beyond an exam is done?
  • What sedation options are available if I have dental anxiety?
  • How soon can you see me if this turns into an emergency?
  • Who will actually be treating me on a return visit, the same dentist or whoever’s available?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these dentists?

We pulled real Google Business Profile data for dentists in Seattle, including rating, review count, and recency, then ranked the strongest options by a weighted mix of those factors.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in July 2026. We refresh listings periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do any of these practices handle dental emergencies?

Several reviewers described same-day emergency visits at First Hill Dental Center and Seattle Sound Dental. Call ahead to confirm same-day availability.

Which of these is best for cosmetic work specifically?

4th & Seneca Dental leads with veneers and implant-focused cosmetic dentistry, based on both its own site and repeated reviewer mentions.

The bottom line

4th & Seneca Dental is the safe default if you want a specialist in cosmetic or implant work, with a perfect rating across nearly 800 reviews. If a same-week or emergency appointment matters more than specialty, call First Hill Dental Center or Seattle Sound Dental first and ask directly about availability.
