To find a good dentist in Lewiston, start with the 30 dental practices Dental.me tracks across the city, focus on the 15 that carry a public rating, and treat the 4.63 average as your floor rather than your ceiling — then weigh review counts, confirm the office is active, and shortlist three names before you ever pick up the phone.
What Lewiston’s dentist numbers actually tell you
Lewiston lists 30 practices in total, and 15 of them carry a Google rating you can compare. The other 15 carry no rating on file; Dental.me records that no rating is on file, not why, and it says nothing about the care. The 15 rated practices are where the review evidence sits.
The 15 rated practices average 4.63, but the evidence behind that average is thin in places: eight of the 15 rest on 23 reviews or fewer, and six on nine or fewer. The 1,476 reviews are also concentrated: the six largest records hold 1,341 of them (91%), and the largest, Yes Today Dentistry Lewiston (4.3 on 512), holds 35% on its own. Read each rating beside the number of reviews behind it.
Six Lewiston practices rated 4.7 or higher on more than 50 reviews
The table below lists the six Lewiston practices rated 4.7 or higher on more than 50 reviews, ordered by rating and then by review count. They 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. Two of them, Swenson Family Orthodontics and Bryden General & Implant Dentistry, hold a 5.0: one on 177 reviews, one on 96. Four more Lewiston offices are rated 5.0, each on 23 reviews or fewer.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swenson Family Orthodontics Lewiston | 5.0 | 177 | View profile |
| Bryden General & Implant Dentistry | 5.0 | 96 | View profile |
| Chad Barney | 4.9 | 239 | View profile |
| John J Johnson DDS PC | 4.9 | 191 | View profile |
| Benjamin Waites | 4.9 | 126 | View profile |
| Simmons Kent B DDS. | 4.7 | 63 | View profile |
Within the table, Chad Barney (4.9 on 239) and John J Johnson DDS PC (4.9 on 191) hold the largest records, and they tie for second by Score. Swenson Family Orthodontics ranks first by Score, a 5.0 on 177, and is on the orthodontist and Invisalign lists. The largest record in Lewiston is not in the table: Yes Today Dentistry Lewiston holds a 4.3 on 512 reviews, more than twice Chad Barney’s count, and ranks 12th by Score because 12 of the other 14 rated offices are rated higher. A large count shows how many reviewers a rating rests on, not that the rating is high. Use the profile links to read the underlying feedback yourself.
Website coverage and confirming an office is active
14 of Lewiston’s 30 practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me: 13 of the 15 rated offices and one of the 15 unrated ones. A website URL is one of the easier ways to check an office before you call: location, listed services and new-patient policies. Where no URL is on file, that means only that Dental.me has no link recorded; it is not a statement about the office, its hours or how it operates. Every Lewiston office has a phone number on file, and 13 have posted hours stored.
Specialty care beyond a routine cleaning
Beyond general dentistry, Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for Lewiston. Seven offices each are on the dental implant, cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening lists, and five each on the emergency and periodontist lists. Three each are on the pediatric, orthodontist, Invisalign and denture lists, two on the oral-surgeon list and one, Yes Today Dentistry Lewiston, on the endodontist list. No Lewiston office is on the prosthodontist list. 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.
Some offices sit on several lists: Bryden General & Implant Dentistry is on eight, including the implant list, and Benjamin Waites on six, while Chad Barney is on three and John J Johnson DDS PC on none. So start from the table, then confirm which of those offices is on the list for the service you need.
When to look just outside Lewiston
Three neighbouring directories are linked from this guide: Moscow (18 practices, 13 rated), Orofino (3 practices, 2 rated), Craigmont (3 practices, 1 rated). Moscow is the largest of them, with 18 practices against Lewiston’s 30. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.
A step-by-step way to choose
Put the pieces together in order. First, open the Lewiston dentist directory and start from the nine offices rated 4.8 or higher, reading the counts: two of them rest on fewer than ten reviews (a 5.0 on 8 and a 5.0 on 1). Second, weigh each rating beside its review count: Chad Barney and John J Johnson DDS PC hold the largest records among the nine, and Yes Today Dentistry Lewiston (4.3) the largest in the city. Third, match your need, a routine cleaning, an implant consult or an emergency visit, to an office on that service list. Fourth, where a website URL is on file, use it to check location and new-patient policies. Finally, call two or three offices to ask about insurance. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. In a market of 30 practices with a 4.63 average, the work is narrowing the field to the office that suits you.
