Finding a good dentist in Hingham, Massachusetts comes down to a short, well-rated field: Dental.me tracks 32 dental practices across town, 19 of them carry a public rating, and those rated offices average a remarkable 4.92 out of five stars — so your job here is narrowing an already strong list, not steering around weak ones.
That average is unusually high, and the shape behind it matters more than the single number. Of the 19 rated practices in Hingham, 18 sit at 4.8 stars or above, and only one falls below 4.0. There is essentially no middle tier — no cluster of 4.0-to-4.49 offices to sort through. For a patient, that changes the decision. Instead of ranking offices from strong to weak, you are choosing among a group that is almost uniformly well-reviewed, which means fit, location on or off Route 3A, specialty, and review depth become the tiebreakers rather than raw rating.
How Hingham’s dental numbers break down
Two figures anchor everything below: the rating distribution and how many offices have a website on file. The rating bands show why 4.92 is trustworthy rather than a fluke of one or two glowing profiles — the strength is spread across nearly the whole rated field.
The second number is coverage. Of the 32 practices Dental.me tracks in Hingham, 20 have a website URL on file. That is a useful filter but not a verdict on quality: a busy, well-established Hingham office can run entirely on phone bookings and word of mouth, while a newer practice may lean on a polished site. Treat the presence of a website URL as a convenience signal — online booking, posted new-patient forms, insurance pages — and not as a mark for or against the care itself.
The top-rated dental practices in Hingham
The table below ranks the six practices with the deepest public track record in Hingham, ordered by rating and then by the number of reviews behind that rating. Every one clears 4.9 stars, so read the review counts closely — a five-star office with several hundred reviews has earned a far more tested reputation than a five-star office with a few dozen.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeffrey M Anderson DDS PC | 5.0 | 539 | View profile |
| Hingham Endodontics, Inc. | 5.0 | 290 | View profile |
| Hingham Dentistry, P.C. | 5.0 | 208 | View profile |
| Admired Smiles Dental Center | 5.0 | 166 | View profile |
| Hingham Shipyard Family Dental | 4.9 | 497 | View profile |
| Hingham Dental Associates LLC | 4.9 | 183 | View profile |
A few things stand out. Jeffrey M Anderson DDS PC pairs a perfect five stars with 539 reviews — the single deepest record in town — which makes it the natural first call for a general-dentistry patient who wants the most-tested reputation. Hingham Shipyard Family Dental, near the harbor-side Shipyard development, carries 497 reviews at 4.9, a strong option for families wanting a general practice. And Hingham Endodontics, Inc. at five stars over 290 reviews signals a specialty office — worth remembering the day you are sent for a root canal.
Reading the review counts
Hingham’s practices hold 2,258 public reviews between them, and those reviews are not spread evenly. The six offices below account for the large majority of that volume, which is exactly why they sit at the top of any shortlist: their ratings rest on hundreds of separate Google reviews rather than a handful.
When two offices tie on stars, review depth is the honest tiebreaker. Between the two 4.9-star general practices, Hingham Shipyard Family Dental (497 reviews) has been tested far more than Hingham Dental Associates LLC (183) — both excellent numbers, but one rests on nearly three times the feedback. Depth does not make a lower-count office worse; it simply tells you how settled the reputation is.
What specialties Hingham dentists cover
Hingham is not just general dentistry. The town’s practices list a full spread of specialty services, which matters because a great cleanings-and-checkups office is not automatically the right place for implants or braces. Here is how many local practices offer each service.
Restorative and cosmetic work is where Hingham runs deepest. Ten practices offer dental implants in Hingham, and nine each handle cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening — a strong bench if you are planning a smile makeover or a single-tooth restoration and want to compare more than one opinion. Urgent needs are narrower: five offices list emergency dental care in Hingham, so if a cracked tooth or abscess is the reason you are searching, save those numbers before you need them rather than after. Endodontics and periodontics each appear at six practices, which is why an office like Hingham Endodontics shows up so prominently — specialty demand in town is real.
Matching a dentist to what you actually need
With a field this uniformly strong, the smart move is to start from your situation and work back to the office, not the reverse. If you want a long-term family dentist, weight the two general practices with the deepest records — Jeffrey M Anderson DDS PC and Hingham Shipyard Family Dental — and confirm they take new patients and your plan. If you are facing a specific procedure, filter first by specialty: a root canal points you toward the endodontic offices, an implant toward the ten implant providers, braces or clear aligners toward the five orthodontic or Invisalign practices.
Then use review depth as the second sort. Because 18 of 19 rated offices already clear 4.8 stars, the rating alone rarely separates the top few; the number of reviews behind it does. Finally, check practical fit — whether the office is near the Hingham Shipyard or closer to the town center off 3A, whether it has a website URL for online booking, and whether the specialty you need is one of its listed services. In a town where almost everyone scores well, those logistics are usually what decides it.
Looking just beyond Hingham
Hingham sits in a dense pocket of the South Shore, so if the right specialist or an open new-patient slot is not in town, neighboring directories are minutes away. It is worth widening the search when you need a sub-specialty that only a couple of Hingham offices list, or when timing is tight. Start with dentists in Weymouth and nearby South Weymouth to the northwest, Norwell and Hanover to the south, or Rockland a short drive down Route 53. Each has its own tracked field of practices, ratings, and specialties you can compare the same way.
How the Dental.me Score fits in
Every practice profile on Dental.me carries a Score, and it is worth understanding what it does and does not represent. The Score weighs a practice’s star rating, the volume of reviews behind that rating, and whether its office details are confirmed, among other signals — which is why an office with 539 reviews reads differently from one with 40, even at the same star level. The Score is earned from that review and confirmation data; it cannot be purchased. The only element that can be paid for anywhere on Dental.me is a Featured placement, which is labeled as such and never changes how a practice ranks on merit. Use the Score to shortlist, then use the individual profiles — reviews, listed services, and contact details — and a direct conversation with the office to make the final call. For the complete, current field, the Hingham dentist directory lists every one of the 32 practices tracked in town.
