Finding a good dentist in Maple Valley, WA starts with the numbers: the Dental.me directory lists 21 dental practices here, 14 of them carry a patient rating, and those rated offices average 4.81 stars. This guide ranks the highest-scored practices, maps specialty coverage, and shows exactly where the city’s reviews concentrate so you can shortlist.
The numbers behind Maple Valley’s dentists
Maple Valley is a King County city southeast of Seattle, tucked between State Route 18 and State Route 169 near Lake Wilderness. The dental market is compact and high-scoring. Of the 21 practices Dental.me tracks inside the city, 14 have collected enough patient feedback to carry a star rating, and the spread of those ratings is what makes Maple Valley stand out: eleven of the fourteen rated offices sit at 4.8 stars or higher.
The chart below breaks the 14 rated practices into rating bands. The top band — 4.8 stars and up — holds the large majority, two practices land in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, a single office falls between 4.0 and 4.49, and none of the rated practices score below 4.0. In practical terms, a shortlist built from the top band still leaves you nearly a dozen offices to choose from.
The highest-rated practices in Maple Valley
The table below ranks the six most visible practices in the city by star rating, then by review count where ratings tie. Robert S Haeger DDS, MS, PS holds a perfect 5.0 across 402 reviews — the only clean five-star score among the leaders. Directly behind it sit four practices tied at 4.9: Thomas A. Holt DDS PLLC, Sean Roberts, L Carlos Morales DDS PS, and DF Whitfield DDS PLLC. Heeter Kimberly L DDS rounds out the group at 4.8. Every rating and review figure below comes straight from the Dental.me directory; click any practice name to open its full profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robert S Haeger DDS, MS, PS | 5.0 | 402 | View profile |
| Thomas a. Holt DDS PLLC | 4.9 | 512 | View profile |
| Sean Roberts | 4.9 | 479 | View profile |
| L Carlos Morales DDS PS | 4.9 | 260 | View profile |
| DF Whitfield DDS PLLC | 4.9 | 195 | View profile |
| Heeter Kimberly L DDS | 4.8 | 486 | View profile |
A five-star average and a 4.9 are close on paper, so the review count is what separates the leaders in practice. A rating built on 402 or 512 reviews rests on a large sample, while a 4.9 on 195 reviews is still a strong signal from a smaller sample. Reading rating and volume together — rather than sorting on the star number alone — is the fastest way to separate a deeply reviewed office from a quieter one.
Where the reviews concentrate in Maple Valley
Across the whole directory, Maple Valley practices have accumulated 3,552 reviews. That total is not spread evenly — a handful of offices carry most of the feedback. Thomas A. Holt DDS PLLC leads on volume with 512 reviews, followed closely by Heeter Kimberly L DDS at 486 and Sean Roberts at 479. Robert S Haeger DDS, MS, PS sits at 402, with L Carlos Morales DDS PS and DF Whitfield DDS PLLC bringing up the group at 260 and 195 respectively.
The chart shows how those six leaders compare on review count. When several offices cluster near the same rating, this is the tie-breaker worth studying: a larger, deeper pool of reviews tends to give a rating more staying power, because each new visit moves the average less.
Website coverage and office confirmation
Of the 21 practices listed in Maple Valley, 14 have a website URL on file with Dental.me and 7 do not. That gap matters when you are shortlisting: an office with a linked website usually lets you confirm services, insurance participation, and new-patient policies before you ever pick up the phone. For the seven practices with no website URL on file, plan to verify those details another way — the absence of a linked site is a note about the directory record, not a judgment on the office.
Cosmetic and whitening options in Maple Valley
Maple Valley’s specialty coverage is focused rather than broad. In the Dental.me directory, eight practices are tagged for cosmetic dentistry and eight for teeth whitening — the two categories that dominate elective care in this city. If you are shopping for a smile makeover, veneers, or an in-office whitening treatment, that gives you a meaningful set of local options to compare on rating and review volume before booking.
You can browse both categories directly: see every office offering cosmetic dentistry in Maple Valley or compare the local teeth-whitening providers. For everything else — routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and check-ups — the full Maple Valley dentist directory lists all 21 practices in one place, rated and unrated alike.
Looking just beyond Maple Valley
Maple Valley sits within a tight cluster of southeast King County communities, so widening your search by a few miles opens up considerably more choice. Directly north along the Maple Valley–Black Diamond Road lies Black Diamond’s dentist directory, and to the west sits Covington, the nearest larger hub. Continue west and you reach Kent, a larger dental market, while Renton anchors the northwest corner near the I-405 corridor and Lake Tapps extends the options to the south. If a specific specialty or an earlier appointment matters more to you than staying inside the city limits, these neighboring directories are the logical next step.
How to choose from this list
With eleven of Maple Valley’s fourteen rated practices scoring 4.8 or higher, the raw star number will not narrow your list on its own — nearly everyone sits near the top. Use rating as the entry filter, then rank the survivors by review volume to weigh how much history stands behind each score. From there, factor in whether a website URL is on file so you can confirm services and insurance, and check whether the office is tagged for the specialty you need.
Each practice profile on Dental.me carries an independent Dental.me Score, which weighs a practice’s rating, its review volume, and office-confirmation signals into a single, comparable number. The Score is earned from those signals, never purchased — only a Featured placement can be paid for, and paying for it cannot change a practice’s Score or its rank on rating. Reading the Score alongside the raw rating and review count gives you a fuller picture than any one figure alone, and in a market as tightly bunched as Maple Valley’s, that combined view is what turns a dozen strong candidates into a confident shortlist of two or three.
