Sioux Falls is South Dakota’s largest city. The 134 practices we track here have collected 24,108 Google reviews between them. Spread across the 79 practices that carry a public rating, that works out to roughly 305 reviews per office. When a city of this footprint generates that much feedback, it means one thing for you as a patient: the guesswork is largely gone. The reputations here are earned in public and backed by thousands of reviews.

What stands out in Sioux Falls, though, is not the volume — it is the floor. Of the 79 rated practices, only two sit below 4.0 stars. That is a 97.5% pass rate. In Sioux Falls, 77 of the 79 rated practices sit at 4.0 or above, so the real work is matching a strong practice to your specific need. This guide is built around that reality.

Why does a city this size generate 24,108 reviews? Two forces stack on top of each other. First, Sioux Falls has grown fast. Second, and more decisively, the city functions as the medical and dental anchor for a rural region that stretches well past the state line. Small towns across the eastern Dakotas, northwest Iowa, and southwest Minnesota simply do not have their own oral surgeon or endodontist, so those patients funnel into Sioux Falls. Every one of those out-of-town visits can turn into a review, which is why a handful of specialist offices here carry review counts you would normally associate with a much larger metro.

The quality floor: a market with almost no bad options

Start with the distribution, because it reframes the whole search. The citywide average lands at 4.7 stars, but averages hide the shape of a market. Here is how the 79 rated Sioux Falls practices actually break down:

Two-thirds of rated practices clear the 4.8-star bar. That top tier is where you will find the names patients talk about most — Wiswall Endodontics at a perfect 5.0 across 849 reviews, Caleb McKinley, D.D.S. also at 5.0 with 836 reviews, and Falls Dental, LLC holding 5.0 across 667 reviews. When more than half the city operates at that level, a 4.7 sits below most of the rated field — a useful recalibration if you are used to treating any 4.7 as exceptional.

Why the specialists matter more here than the numbers suggest

Here is where Sioux Falls reveals its regional-hub character. Look at the specialist counts and one line jumps out: there are only 5 oral surgeons in the entire tracked market — yet one of them, Siouxland Oral Surgery, has amassed 2,074 reviews, more than any other practice in the city by a wide margin. Review volume is concentrated in a handful of specialist offices. The same pattern holds in endodontics, where Wiswall Endodontics anchors a field of 9 offices.

The practical lesson: in Sioux Falls, specialist care is concentrated, not scattered. If you need a root canal, an implant, or oral surgery, you are choosing from a smaller, higher-stakes shortlist — and those few offices are exceptionally well-documented, so the review record does the vetting for you. For everyday care the field is far wider. Here is the full availability picture:

If cosmetic work is on your mind, you have real range — 33 cosmetic dentists and 34 teeth-whitening providers to compare. Families raising kids have 20 pediatric dentists to choose from, and anyone weighing tooth replacement can survey 31 implant providers. Only when you reach surgery does the field tighten to a true shortlist.

That concentration is not a weakness — if anything, it simplifies the hardest decisions. When you only have a few oral surgeons or endodontists to weigh, and each has thousands of documented outcomes behind it, the choice becomes almost self-evident. Contrast that with your routine cleaning: with more than 30 general and cosmetic options at 4.5 stars or better, the abundance is the challenge, and the four-step method below is designed to cut that field down quickly. It is worth naming the practical trade-off, too. Concentrated specialties leave fewer offices to call, and how far out each books is recorded for none of them. If your case is time-sensitive, ask about the next available slot early and keep a second name on your list.

The market at a glance

One data point worth reading carefully: 80 of the 134 practices — about 60% — maintain a website. That matters practically. A website usually means you can check office hours, insurance participation, and new-patient forms before you ever call. The 40% without one are not necessarily worse dentists; several of the smaller Sioux Falls listings are complete except for a web address. But if online booking and transparency matter to you, the majority of the market has a website on file where you can check.

How to choose your Sioux Falls dentist

Because the quality floor is so high, your decision hinges less on “is this a good dentist?” and more on fit. Here is the sequence we recommend for this specific market:

Match the need first. A cleaning-and-checkup search and an implant search are different problems here. For general care, cast a wide net; for surgery or endodontics, go straight to the concentrated specialists. Then weigh review volume, not just the star number. In a city where 54 practices sit at 4.8+, a 4.9 backed by 2,000 reviews — the territory of Siouxland Oral Surgery or Thomas Montoya (1,264 reviews) — carries far more statistical weight than a 5.0 built on a handful. Confirm access using the practice’s website or a quick call: insurance participation and after-hours policy separate two otherwise identical 4.9s. Finally, visit once before you commit — the chairside feel is the one variable no dataset captures.

Expanding your search beyond the city limits

Because Sioux Falls anchors a metro that spills into several fast-growing suburbs, it is often worth widening the map — especially if you live on the edge of town or want a shorter drive. The surrounding communities of Harrisburg, Brandon, Tea, Hartford, Lennox, and Canton all feed into the same regional care network, and several share the specialists patients travel to Sioux Falls for anyway.
