Of the 29 Kearney practices with a Google rating on file, 22 are rated 4.8 stars or higher. That is roughly three in four. Kearney is not a market where you hunt for the one highly rated office; the hard part is choosing between highly rated options.
Dental.me lists 47 practices in Kearney. The 29 rated offices hold 3,058 Google reviews and average 4.68 stars. The chart below sums it up.
Before we go further, a word on what those numbers are not. A 4.68 average does not mean every practice is interchangeable, and a Google rating does not by itself prove clinical quality. The review records are uneven: the six largest hold 2,390 of the 3,058 reviews (78%), and half of the rated offices hold 22 reviews or fewer. So read the review count beside every star.
What Kearney's service lists show
Six neighbouring directories are linked from this guide: Gibbon (1 practice, 1 rated), Elm Creek (1 practice, 1 rated), Minden (2 practices, 2 rated), Shelton (1 practice, 1 rated), Ravenna (2 practices, 1 rated), Holdrege (6 practices, 3 rated). Together they hold 13 practices, far fewer than Kearney's 47. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.
On the Dental.me service lists, 12 Kearney practices are on the dental implant list, 10 on the cosmetic dentist list and 10 on the teeth whitening list. Eight are on the orthodontist list and 8 on the Invisalign list, 7 on the periodontist list and 5 on the endodontist list. The short lists: 4 on the oral surgeon list and 2 on the dentures list, and the prosthodontist list is empty. A place on a list shows what an office lists, not how often it does that work, so ask whether the office does your procedure itself.
Two lists deserve a closer look. Eight practices are on the pediatric dentist list, including Kearney Pediatric Dentistry, the largest review record in the city (4.9 on 780). Seven are on the emergency dentist list. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
The chart below shows all 12 lists, longest first. Most offices are on several lists, so the counts overlap.
Where Kearney's reviews concentrate
Six Kearney practices hold the largest Google review records, and their ratings rest on the most reviews:
- Kearney Pediatric Dentistry — 4.9★ across 780 reviews, the largest record in the city.
- Bush Dentistry LLC — 5.0★ on 469 reviews.
- Dr. Harrison Sanny — 4.9★ from 445 reviews.
- Platte Valley Dental Clinic — a clean 5.0★ across 328 reviews.
- Gile Family Dentistry — 4.8★ over 201 reviews.
- Kearney Dental Clinic P.C. — 4.9★ from 167 reviews.
Two of the six hold a 5.0: Bush Dentistry (469 reviews) and Platte Valley Dental Clinic (328). Of the 15 Kearney offices rated 5.0, eight hold 20 reviews or fewer, so the review count matters as much as the star. The same six are the six highest 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: Kearney Pediatric Dentistry ranks first, Bush Dentistry second, Platte Valley Dental Clinic third, Harrison Sanny fourth, Kearney Dental Clinic fifth and Gile Family Dentistry sixth. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order.
One of the six, Harrison Sanny, is listed under an individual dentist's name. Dental.me does not record how many dentists work at each office, so if seeing the same dentist at each visit matters to you, ask the office. We explain how the Score is built in our ranking methodology.
Reading the rating spread before you book
The distribution leans to the top. Only one rated practice is below 4.0, and four sit in the 4.0–4.49 band. The other 24 are rated 4.5 or higher.
The practical takeaway: in Kearney you can filter aggressively. Set your floor at 4.8 stars and you still have 22 practices to choose from. The remaining decision is about fit — location, hours, whether they take your insurance, and which specialty you actually need.
The low bands rest on very few reviews. The four offices in the 4.0–4.49 band hold 25 reviews together: Martin G. Tilley D.D.S., M.D., P.C. (4.3 on 9), Elizabeth Loseke (4.4 on 7), Great Plains Dental Associates (4.0 on 5) and Charles M Schaepler DDS PC (4.0 on 4). The one office under 4.0, Herrmann Dental Associates, holds a 1.0 on a single review. With so few reviews, one review can move a rating a long way, so read the review text rather than the number alone. Dental.me holds no review dates, so check on Google how recent the reviews are.
How to choose your dentist in Kearney
Because high ratings are broad here, the smart approach is to sort by need first and rating second. Use this quick path:
That last point matters. Only 25 of Kearney's 47 practices have a website on file, so for the rest the phone is the way to confirm insurance and hours. Posted hours are stored for 22 of the 47 offices, and all 47 have a phone number on file. Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemised estimate.
A note on cost and coverage. Dental.me holds no price data for its offices, and the practice you choose for routine care is not always the one you want for a large treatment plan. You can keep a family dentist for checkups and see an office on the implant or orthodontist list for a specific case. Ask any prospective office two questions up front: which insurance plans they are in-network with, and whether they offer a written treatment estimate before work begins.
Care beyond city limits
If you live near Kearney, each neighbouring town linked here has its own directory: Holdrege (6 practices, 3 rated), Minden (2 practices, 2 rated), Ravenna (2 practices, 1 rated), Gibbon (1 practice, 1 rated), Elm Creek (1 practice, 1 rated), Shelton (1 practice, 1 rated). Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live. If the list you need is short or empty in those towns, compare the same list in Kearney, where the implant list holds 12 and the endodontist list 5.
When you are ready, start with the full Kearney dentist directory. Sort by service list and compare rating and review count side by side.
