Start with the highest-rated offices below, confirm your insurance, and book a consultation before you commit to ongoing care.
What the Lake Stevens numbers actually say
Lake Stevens is a compact market for dental care. Wrapped around the lake it takes its name from and sitting just east of Everett along the Highway 9 corridor, the city supports 17 listed dental practices. That is a small enough field to review carefully in an afternoon, but large enough that the choice you make matters. Of those 17 offices, 15 have collected enough public feedback to carry a rating on Dental.me, while two are listed without a public rating on file yet.
The headline figure is the 4.79-star average across the 15 rated practices. That is high, and the distribution behind it explains why. Thirteen of the rated offices sit at 4.8 stars or above. One lands in the 4.0-to-4.49 range, and one falls below 4.0. Notably, no Lake Stevens practice occupies the middle 4.5-to-4.79 band at all, so the field splits cleanly into a large top tier and two lower outliers that pull the citywide average down from a near-perfect score. The chart below shows exactly how the 15 rated practices land.
The highest-rated dentists in Lake Stevens
The six practices below are the top of the Lake Stevens field by public rating, then by review volume. Every one of them sits at 4.9 stars or higher. Lund Orthodontics leads on rating with a perfect 5.0, while Pspd – Lake Stevens carries the deepest review history of the six at 407. Use the table as a shortlist, then open each profile to check the specialty focus, hours, and contact details before you call.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lund Orthodontics, P.S. | 5.0 | 151 | View profile |
| Pspd – Lake Stevens PLLC | 4.9 | 407 | View profile |
| All Smiles Dentistry | 4.9 | 339 | View profile |
| Scott Steedman | 4.9 | 338 | View profile |
| Fred Chittenden | 4.9 | 326 | View profile |
| Chapel Hill Family Dentistry | 4.9 | 234 | View profile |
A perfect 5.0, as with Lund Orthodontics, is easiest to earn on a smaller review base, so read it alongside the count rather than on its own. The four practices in the 300-plus review range each carry 4.9 stars over a much larger sample, which is harder to reach by chance. Both signals are useful; the full Lake Stevens dentist directory lists every practice in the city, including those below this shortlist and the two without a public rating yet.
Reading the review counts
The 3,519 reviews on file across Lake Stevens are concentrated at the top of the field. The six shortlisted practices alone account for 1,795 of them, and the single deepest history, Pspd – Lake Stevens at 407, is more than double the count of Lund Orthodontics. A large review count does not automatically outrank a smaller one, but it does mean a rating has been tested across more reviews over more time. The chart below scales the review volume of each shortlisted practice against the others.
Website coverage and getting in touch
Of the 17 practices listed in Lake Stevens, 15 have a website URL on file, which matches the number of rated offices exactly. For those 15, you can look up hours, new-patient forms, and contact details directly before you pick up the phone. The remaining two are listed without a website URL on file, so the profile page is your starting point for reaching them. Website coverage is a convenience signal, not a quality one, but it does affect how quickly you can compare offices side by side.
Specialty care: emergency, implants, cosmetic, and whitening
Lake Stevens covers the common specialty needs without forcing a drive to Everett or Seattle for routine work. Seven practices offer cosmetic dentistry and seven offer teeth whitening, making those the widest specialty categories in the city. Five offices handle dental implants and five are listed for emergency dental care. If your need is time-sensitive, that emergency roster is the place to start, since same-day availability varies by office and is worth confirming by phone. The chart below shows how many Lake Stevens practices are listed under each category.
To go deeper on any of these, browse the dedicated category pages: cosmetic dentists in Lake Stevens, emergency dentists in Lake Stevens, and dental implant providers in Lake Stevens. Each page lists the practices in that category alongside their ratings so you can compare within a single type of care.
Looking beyond Lake Stevens
Lake Stevens borders several larger Snohomish County communities, and if the office you want is booked out or the specialty you need is thin locally, the surrounding directories widen your options quickly. Marysville sits just to the northwest, Everett anchors the region to the west along I-5, and Snohomish lies to the south. All three are a short drive from Lake Stevens and carry their own full rosters of rated practices. Nearby Tulalip and Granite Falls round out the immediate area if you want to cast the net wider still.
Because dental care is usually a repeat relationship, most people prefer to stay close to home, and Lake Stevens’ 4.79-star average across 15 rated offices makes that easy to justify. But it is worth knowing the neighboring markets exist, particularly for a one-time procedure like an implant consultation or an urgent visit when your regular office cannot fit you in.
How to choose your dentist in Lake Stevens
With a field this concentrated at the top, the decision usually comes down to fit rather than a large quality spread. Work through a short checklist. First, confirm the practice is in-network for your insurance, since even a 4.9-star office is the wrong choice if it is out of network. Second, match the office to your needs: a general or family practice for routine care, or one of the five implant or five emergency providers if that is what brought you here. Third, weigh the rating against the review count using the table and charts above, so you understand whether a score rests on a broad history or a smaller one.
Finally, call or check the website to confirm hours, new-patient availability, and whether the office is accepting patients before you plan around it. The Dental.me Score that orders these listings weighs a practice’s rating, its review volume, and office-confirmation signals, so it reflects more than a single star number. It is earned through public performance and never sold; only Featured placement can be paid for, and paying never changes where a practice ranks. Use the ranking as a starting shortlist, then verify the details that matter for your own visit.
