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

By Elara Kestrel, Health and Medical Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

The Richmond Dental Centre leads this list of five dentists in Toronto with 1,255 Google reviews, the deepest pool of the five practices compared here. The five ratings range from 4.5 to 4.9, and one patient at Dentistry on King describes 35 years with the same practice across two generations of dentists. That kind of spread, from a newer high-volume clinic to a decades-old neighbourhood fixture, is worth knowing before you pick.

Short answer: The Richmond Dental Centre leads with a 4.9-star average across 1,255 reviews, the deepest pool on this list. Studio Dental and Bond Street Dental both offer extended hours and emergency care if you need to be seen the same day, while Dentistry on King and Urbanview Family Dental Clinic stand out for long-term family care and anxiety-aware treatment.

Watch: 5 Best Dentists in Toronto (2026)

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 scored these five

Rating is the live Google average at the time we checked. Review volume measures how many patients actually left feedback, weighted against the rest of the Toronto pool. Confidence combines the two, recency tracks how many weeks have passed since the last review, and completeness checks for a working site, phone number and posted hours. No practice can pay to change any of these figures.

What does a dentist visit cost in Toronto? (2026)

None of the five practices above publish fixed pricing for routine visits, and the fee depends heavily on whether you need a simple cleaning, x-rays, a filling, or something more involved like an extraction. Insurance coverage and direct billing vary by practice, so it’s worth confirming both before you book.

Finding a dentist across Toronto

This list spans downtown, from Old Town near the Distillery District, to Union Station, to King and Yonge, to the Discovery District near Bay Street. A dentist near me search from most downtown addresses will likely surface at least one of these five.

What to ask before booking a new dentist

  • Do you direct-bill my insurance, or do I pay and claim it back myself?
  • What’s included in a standard checkup, and what costs extra?
  • Do you have same-day availability if I’m in pain right now?
  • Will I see the same dentist at every visit?
  • How do you handle dental anxiety if that’s a factor for me?

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 five dentists?

We pulled the pool of dental practices Google surfaces for Toronto, then ranked them by real rating, review volume and how recently patients are still leaving reviews.

How often is this list updated?

We recheck these numbers periodically. This page was last verified in July 2026.

What if I need to see someone today?

Studio Dental and Bond Street Dental both have reviewers describing same-day emergency visits, so either is a reasonable place to start if you’re in pain right now.

Do any of these practices handle pediatric dentistry?

Richmond Dental Centre, Urbanview Family Dental Clinic and Studio Dental all list pediatric dentistry among their services, per their own sites.

The bottom line

Richmond Dental Centre is the safe default, the deepest and most recent review base on this list at a 4.9 average. If you’re in pain today, Studio Dental or Bond Street Dental are built for same-day visits. Either way, confirm direct billing before you sit down in the chair.
