To find a good dentist in Sequim, start with the 27 dental practices Dental.me tracks across town, 17 of which carry enough patient feedback to earn a rating that averages 4.53 stars. Sort by the independent Dental.me Score, focus on the top-rated offices below, then confirm your specialty and insurance needs.
Sequim sits on the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula in Clallam County, strung along Highway 101 between Port Angeles to the west and the water crossings toward Port Townsend to the east. The dental picture is easy to read once you have the numbers in front of you, and that is exactly what this guide lays out: how many offices there are, how they score, how much patient feedback stands behind each one, and which specialties are actually available inside the city rather than a drive down the peninsula.
The numbers behind Sequim’s dental options
Dental.me currently tracks 27 dental practices in Sequim. Of those, 17 have accumulated enough feedback to carry a star rating, and across that rated group the average sits at 4.53 stars. That is a healthy baseline, but an average hides the spread, and the spread is where your decision lives. Eight of the seventeen rated offices clear 4.8 stars, while three sit below the 4.0 line. In a market this compact, that means your shortlist is genuinely short: a handful of clearly strong offices, a middle tier worth a closer look, and a small group where the rating alone tells you to read carefully before booking.
The 27 practices together hold 1,564 reviews on file, and 16 of the 27 have a website URL recorded in the directory. Those two figures matter for different reasons. Review volume tells you how much history is behind a rating, so a 5.0 built on 500 reviews carries far more weight than a 5.0 built on five. Website coverage matters because an office with a site on file is usually the faster one to research for hours, insurance participation, and new-patient forms before you ever pick up the phone. Ten of the 27 practices remain unrated, which simply means they have not gathered enough feedback yet, not that they are new or lower quality; it does mean you will lean more on a phone call and less on the score when you consider them.
Sequim’s top-rated dental practices
The table below ranks the highest-scoring practices Dental.me tracks in Sequim, sorted by rating and then by review count so that the highest-rated offices come first, with review count breaking ties. Each name links to its full Dental.me profile, where the rating, review history, and confirmed office details live.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edward Tierney | 5.0 | 512 | View profile |
| Melissa Marr DMD PLLC | 5.0 | 442 | View profile |
| Sequim Family Dentistry | 4.9 | 145 | View profile |
| Timothy Newland | 4.9 | 130 | View profile |
| Peter Ham, DDS, Msd, PLLC | 4.9 | 118 | View profile |
| Quinn Mitchell | 4.7 | 26 | View profile |
Two names stand apart on volume. Edward Tierney holds a 5.0 across 512 reviews, and Melissa Marr DMD PLLC holds a 5.0 across 442, together accounting for well over half of every review on file in the city. When a perfect score is backed by hundreds of individual entries, the rating has been tested repeatedly rather than set by a lucky handful. Sequim Family Dentistry, Timothy Newland, and Peter Ham, DDS, Msd, PLLC each hold 4.9 with review counts in the low hundreds, a tier that is strong on both score and depth. Quinn Mitchell rounds out the list at 4.7 across 26 reviews; a solid score, though the thinner review base is worth keeping in mind as you compare. If your priority is a large review count, the top two are the clear starting point; if location or an open appointment matters more, any of the 4.9 offices is an easy second call.
How to read Sequim’s rating bands
Grouping the 17 rated offices into bands makes the shape of the market obvious at a glance. The chart below breaks them into four tiers.
The top band carries the most weight: nearly half of every rated office in Sequim scores 4.8 or higher, so you can afford to be selective. The two middle bands, at three offices each, are where the rest of your comparison work happens, because a 4.3 with strong reviews and a nearby location can beat a 4.9 that never has an opening. The bottom band of three is a signal to slow down and read the specifics rather than a verdict, but it should shape the order in which you make calls. With eight offices already above 4.8, most Sequim residents can build a shortlist without ever dropping into the lower bands.
Website coverage and what it means for booking
Sixteen of the 27 practices Dental.me tracks in Sequim have a website URL on file. The remaining eleven have no website URL on file, which is a note about the directory record, not a judgment about the office.
Practically, this shapes your research order. Start with the offices that have a site on file when you want to confirm hours, insurance participation, or new-patient paperwork on your own time. For the eleven without a URL in the directory, the profile page and a phone call are your fastest route, and you may find they maintain a page the directory simply has not captured yet. Either way, treat website coverage as a convenience signal for how you gather information, not as a mark of quality; several of Sequim’s highest-rated offices and some of its unrated ones sit on both sides of that line.
Review volume across Sequim
Ratings tell you the score; review counts tell you how much that score has been tested. The chart below shows how the city’s 1,564 total reviews concentrate among the leading practices.
The concentration is striking. Edward Tierney’s 512 reviews and Melissa Marr’s 442 dwarf the rest, and the remaining named offices land in the 118 to 145 range, still substantial. Quinn Mitchell’s 26 sits well below the pack, which does not undercut the 4.7 rating but does mean the score rests on a smaller sample. When you compare two offices with similar stars, let the deeper review base break the tie, because it reflects more procedures and more chances for a weak spot to show. It is also why the average across all 17 rated offices, 4.53, lands a little below the leaders: the deeply reviewed practices sit at the top, and the thinner or lower-scored offices pull the mean down.
Specialty care available in Sequim
Not every dental need is a routine cleaning, and Sequim lists specialty care as well. The chart shows how many tracked practices offer each of the most common specialties.
Six practices offer dental implants in Sequim, the deepest specialty on the list, which is useful if you are weighing a permanent tooth-replacement option and want more than one office to consult. Five practices list cosmetic dentistry, and five more offer periodontal care for gum health, so gum treatment and smile work are both listed locally. Another five provide professional teeth whitening. For any of these, start from the specialty page, then cross-check each office against its rating and review depth in the table above before you commit, since a practice can appear under more than one specialty.
What to confirm before you book in Sequim
The directory narrows your list; a short phone call settles the rest. Before you schedule, confirm a few specifics that the rating alone cannot tell you. Ask whether the office is accepting new patients, since a top-rated practice with 500 reviews can also have the longest wait. Confirm that they take your dental insurance or, if you are paying out of pocket, ask how they handle self-pay. Check that the services you need are offered in-house rather than referred out, especially for implants or periodontal work, and verify the hours and location fit your schedule before you drive across town. For a practice with no website URL on file, this call does double duty, filling in the details the directory does not carry. Doing this for two or three finalists rather than a dozen offices is exactly why building the shortlist first, from the table and bands above, saves the most time.
When to look beyond Sequim
Sequim’s 27 practices cover most routine and specialty needs, but the Olympic Peninsula puts several other directories within a reasonable drive, and it is worth knowing your options if timing or a specific specialist matters. Immediately west along Highway 101, dentists in Port Angeles form the largest nearby market. To the east, dentists in Port Townsend and the smaller community of dentists in Port Ludlow round out the corridor. Widening your search can help when you need an earlier appointment, a specialist a Sequim office refers you to, or simply a second opinion. For everything close to home, though, the full Sequim dental directory lists all 27 practices with their current ratings and review counts.
How the Dental.me Score guides your choice
The independent Dental.me Score is designed to do the sorting work for you. Rather than leaning on a single star average, it weighs a practice’s rating alongside its review volume and whether the office has confirmed its details, so that a well-reviewed 4.9 is not flattened against a barely-reviewed one. That is why the ranking in this guide leads with offices like Edward Tierney and Melissa Marr DMD PLLC, where a top score sits on hundreds of reviews. The Score is earned through that record, never purchased; the only element that can be paid for anywhere in the directory is a clearly marked Featured placement, which cannot buy a higher rating or a better rank. Use the Score to build your shortlist, use the table and charts here to compare the finalists, and use a phone call to settle the practical questions of insurance, availability, and fit before you book. In a town where eight offices already clear 4.8 stars, the hard part is not finding a good dentist in Sequim; it is choosing among several genuinely strong ones.
