Announcing 2019 topDentists™

Local professionals selected by peers

“If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?” This is the question the topDentists team asked thousands of dentists to help determine who the 2019 topDentists should be. Dentists and specialists are asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies, and of course physical results.

The nomination pool of dentists consists of dentists listed online with the American Dental Association, as well as all dentists listed online with their local dental societies, thus allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists are also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists whom they feel should be included in this list.

This list is excerpted from the 2019 topDentists™ list, a database which includes listings for more than 130 dentists and specialists in the Columbia and Midlands areas of South Carolina. The Columbia area list was based on thousands of detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers. Of course there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in the Midlands.
