Dental.me lists 26 dental practices in Payson. Eighteen carry a Google rating and 8 carry none; Dental.me does not record why. The 18 rated offices average 4.75 stars across 2,445 reviews. This guide covers how the ratings are spread, which offices hold the most reviews, what the service lists hold and where to look nearby.
A field of 26 practices
Fourteen of the 26 practices have a website URL on file, all of them rated offices. The 12 without one are the 8 unrated offices and four rated ones: Dr. Craig Callister Payson Utah Dentist (5.0 on 10) and three offices rated 5.0 on a single review. Dental.me holds posted hours for 15 of the 26, and all 26 have a phone number on file. The question that matters is which offices pair a strong rating with enough reviews to read it with some confidence. You can browse the full roster on the Payson dental directory hub.
Rating bands at a glance
Of the 18 rated practices, 14 score 4.8 stars or higher, 2 land in the 4.5-to-4.79 range (Gunnerson Dental at 4.7 on 489 and SmilePro Orthodontics PLLC at 4.5 on 26), none sit between 4.0 and 4.49, and 2 fall below 4.0. Narrowing to the top band keeps 14 of the 18 rated offices, so it does little filtering on its own, and 5 of those 14 rest on 10 reviews or fewer.
What a 4.75 average really means
An average is a summary, not a verdict, and Payson’s 4.75 rewards a closer read. Because the field is so top-heavy, the citywide average is pulled up by that dense cluster of 4.8-plus offices and pulled down by the two practices scoring under 4.0. There is no soft middle to cushion the number, so the average sits closer to the top of the range than a first glance might suggest. What that tells you is not that every Payson dentist is a 4.75 — no practice has to be — but that the typical rated office here scores very well, and the exceptions are visible rather than hidden in a gray zone. It also means the average is doing less work than usual as a decision tool. With the bands so separated, you are better served by looking at where an individual practice actually falls, and by how many reviews stand behind its score, than by leaning on the citywide figure. The next two sections give you exactly those two views: the ranked leaders, and the depth of feedback behind each.
The top-rated dental practices in Payson
The table lists the six practices with the highest Dental.me Score, sorted by Google rating and then by review count. The Score 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. Follow any practice name through to its full Payson profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mountain View Dental Group LLC | 5.0 | 435 | View profile |
| Brent Johnson | 5.0 | 187 | View profile |
| Kevin Reece | 5.0 | 161 | View profile |
| South Valley Pediatric Dentistry | 4.9 | 436 | View profile |
| Silver Creek Dental Of Payson – Dr. Travis Storey | 4.9 | 403 | View profile |
| Brian L Kraft, DDS | 4.9 | 77 | View profile |
By Score the order is Mountain View Dental Group LLC (5.0 on 435), South Valley Pediatric Dentistry (4.9 on 436), Silver Creek Dental of Payson (4.9 on 403), Brent Johnson (5.0 on 187), Kevin Reece (5.0 on 161) and Brian L. Kraft, DDS (4.9 on 77). The largest review count in the city is not in the table: Gunnerson Dental: K. Cheyn Gunnerson, DMD holds 489 at a 4.7 rating and is eighth by Score. The highest ratings and the largest review counts do not always belong to the same office, so read both columns together.
How much feedback stands behind the ratings
A 4.9 on 400-plus reviews and a 4.9 on a dozen are different kinds of evidence. Six offices hold 2,111 of the 2,445 reviews (86%): Gunnerson Dental (489), South Valley Pediatric Dentistry (436), Mountain View Dental Group (435), Silver Creek Dental of Payson (403), Brent Johnson (187) and Kevin Reece (161). The other twelve rated offices share 334. When two offices carry the same rating, the one with more reviews has a rating that moves less with each new review.
Website URLs and rated coverage
Fourteen of the 26 listed practices (54%) have a website URL on file; the other 12 do not, which means only that Dental.me has no site recorded for them. Eighteen of the 26 are rated and 8 are not; an unrated practice has no Google rating on file, and Dental.me does not record why. The two charts below show both splits.
Where the softer signals sit
Two offices are rated below 4.0: All Around Dental Care, LC (3.4 on 25) and Darren Chamberlain (3.7 on 3). A rating on three reviews can move with each new one, so read the reviews before you treat either as a verdict. The 8 unrated offices are nearly a third of the directory, a reminder that the ranked table covers the rated field, not the whole city. If none of the rated offices fits your insurance, those eight profiles are the next place to look, and a phone call is the way to learn what Dental.me does not hold.
Care in the nearby cities
If the fit is not right in Payson, the neighbouring directories add offices to call: Salem (10 practices, 5 rated), Santaquin (6 practices, 5 rated), Spanish Fork (38 practices, 30 rated), Springville (14 practices, 10 rated), Mapleton (5 practices, 4 rated). Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.
A step-by-step way to choose
A short method. First, decide whether you need general care or a practice for a child; the pediatric list holds two offices, South Valley Pediatric Dentistry (4.9 on 436) and All Around Dental Care, LC (3.4 on 25). Second, read the review count behind each rating; a 4.9 on 436 says more than a 5.0 on 1. Third, check the orthodontist list (four offices, the same four as the Invisalign list) or another service list for the work you need, and ask whether the office does it itself. Finally, call two or three offices to confirm insurance. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
