What the numbers say about dentistry in Hanover
Hanover is a South Shore town in Plymouth County. Of the 29 practices Dental.me lists inside the town line, 14 carry a Google rating, and together those offices hold 2,298 reviews; the rated practices average 4.65 stars. Every one of the 29 has a phone number on file, and posted opening hours are stored for 13. Dental.me holds no review dates, so it cannot tell you how recent a rating is.
The other 15 practices in town have no Google rating on file, and Dental.me does not record why. That is not a judgment on their care. It is worth calling one if it is a block from your house, but for a first-time comparison the 14 rated practices give you more to go on. The rest of this guide works through who those offices are, how their ratings are spread, and which specialties are listed in Hanover.
Hanover’s highest-rated dental practices
Here are the six highest-rated practices in Hanover with at least 100 reviews, sorted by star rating and then by review volume. Four Hanover offices hold a 5.0. Two of them make the table, Leland & May Dentistry and Holly Tree Dental, and Leland & May takes the top row on the strength of 474 reviews against Holly Tree’s 109. The other two rest on eight reviews or fewer: Stuart A. Liss, DMD (8) and Hanover Aligners and Braces PLLC (2). A 5.0 built on a handful of reviews and one built on hundreds are not the same signal, and the review column is there so you can weigh them yourself. The same six offices are also the top six by Dental.me Score, which is built mainly from a practice’s Google rating and the depth of reviews behind it, with a small lift for an office that verifies its listing. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leland & May Dentistry, Pllp | 5.0 | 474 | View profile |
| Holly Tree Dental | 5.0 | 109 | View profile |
| Dr. Rayan Kafri | 4.9 | 236 | View profile |
| Myorthos Massachusetts Orthodontics. P.C. | 4.9 | 186 | View profile |
| Hanover Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC | 4.8 | 407 | View profile |
| Dentists of Hanover, PC | 4.8 | 225 | View profile |
The review counts behind these six show how reviews are concentrated in Hanover. Leland & May and Hanover Pediatric Dentistry together hold 881 of the town’s 2,298 reviews (38%). The single most-reviewed office in town, Sunny Smile VIII Inc (4.6 on 482 reviews), is not in the table, because the table lists the six highest ratings among the seven offices with 100 or more reviews.
How Hanover’s ratings are distributed
An average alone can hide a lot, so it helps to see how the 14 rated practices break down band by band. In Hanover the distribution is top-heavy: 10 of the 14 rated offices sit at 4.8 stars or higher. One practice lands in the 4.5-to-4.79 band, two fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and just one is rated below 4.0. In plain terms, more than seven in ten of the town’s rated practices are at 4.8 or higher; the one below 4.0 is a 3.0 on two reviews, and two of the ten at 4.8 or higher rest on eight reviews or fewer.
The practical takeaway is that the 4.8-and-up band is wide enough to filter by location, by whether an office is on the pediatric list, or by the service you need. Two of those ten rest on eight reviews or fewer (Stuart A. Liss, DMD on 8 and Hanover Aligners and Braces PLLC on 2), so lean on the review counts in the table above to tell a well-supported rating from a thin one.
Which specialties are covered in Hanover
Dental.me lists six practices for cosmetic dentistry in Hanover, six on the endodontists list (root canal care) and six for teeth whitening. Five are listed for emergency dental care in Hanover and five for dental implants. Four each are on the orthodontists, periodontists and Invisalign lists, two on pediatric dentists and two on oral surgeons, one on dentures, and the prosthodontists list is empty. A list entry reflects the services a practice lists, not a specialist credential, so ask an office about its training.
Two of the table names sit on specialty lists. Families searching for a children’s dentist can look at Hanover Pediatric Dentistry, one of the two practices on the pediatric dentists page, whose 4.8 rating rests on 407 reviews, the third-largest review count in town. Anyone weighing braces or clear aligners can look at Myorthos Massachusetts Orthodontics, one of the four practices on the orthodontists page, holding a 4.9 across 186 reviews. When a general dentist recommends a specialist, it is reasonable to ask whether one of these in-town options fits before accepting a referral further afield.
Website listings and confirming the details
One gap worth knowing before you start dialing: only 14 of Hanover’s 29 practices have a website URL on file with us. The remaining 15 may well operate perfectly good sites we simply have not recorded, but you should not assume you can research every office online before choosing. For those without a URL on file, a phone call is the reliable way to check what you need, and even for the ones that do list a site, you should confirm the specifics that matter to you.
When you call, keep the questions concrete: are they accepting new patients, do they take your specific insurance plan, and what is the wait for the appointment type you need. Those are the details that decide whether a highly rated office is actually usable for you, and they change often enough that no directory, ours included, can promise them in advance. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. Dental.me does not record which insurance an office accepts. Use the ratings and reviews to build a shortlist of two or three practices from the table, then let a short round of calls settle the final choice. You can start any of those calls from a practice’s profile page, such as Dentists of Hanover or Dr. Rayan Kafri.
Looking just beyond Hanover on the South Shore
Several nearby towns publish their own Dental.me directory pages. To the north, dentists in Norwell (19 practices listed, 8 rated) and dentists in Hingham (32 listed, 19 rated) sit toward the coast. Dentists in Pembroke (9 listed, 5 rated) lie to the south, dentists in Rockland (5 listed, 4 rated) to the west, and dentists in Scituate (11 listed, 8 rated) to the east. Dental.me does not measure drive times, so check each address against your route.
The reason to widen the net is that some lists are short in Hanover: one office is on the dentures list and none is on the prosthodontists list. Hanover lists five dental implant practices; if none of them suits you, a neighboring town widens the list. Treat those nearby directories as an extension of your Hanover shortlist rather than a fallback, and compare their rated practices the same way you would compare the ones in town.
Putting it together: choosing your Hanover dentist
For most people the path is short. Open the ranked table, note that 10 of Hanover’s 14 rated practices sit at 4.8 or above, and pick two or three that fit your need, whether that is a general checkup, a pediatric visit, orthodontics, or an urgent repair. Weigh each rating against its review count so a heavily reviewed office is not overlooked in favor of a thinly reviewed 5.0. Then confirm new-patient status and insurance by phone, and if the timing does not work, extend the same comparison to Norwell, Hingham, or Pembroke next door.
The 4.65-star town average is a useful starting point, but it is a starting point, not the decision. What turns it into the right dentist for you is matching a specific top-band practice to your specific need, and confirming the handful of details that only the office itself can tell you. Do that, and you can browse every dental practice in Hanover with a clear sense of where the highest-rated, most-reviewed options are and how to reach them.
