To find a good dentist in Taunton, start with the numbers: of the 34 dental practices Dental.me tracks across the city, 16 carry enough patient feedback to earn a rating, and those rated offices average a solid 4.44 stars. Compare that shortlist by rating, review volume, and office-confirmation before you pick up the phone.
Taunton’s dental landscape by the numbers
Taunton — the Silver City of Bristol County — is served by 34 dental practices in the Dental.me directory. Sixteen of them have gathered enough feedback to earn a Dental.me Score, and together those rated offices average 4.44 stars across 2,070 total reviews. That is a healthy base of feedback, and it means you rarely have to guess: for most of the rated Taunton practices, dozens or even hundreds of public reviews already sit on the record for you to weigh. The remaining practices without a score have not necessarily fallen short — they simply have not accumulated enough reviews yet, so they call for a phone conversation rather than a scroll through feedback.
The 2,070 reviews are not spread evenly. A handful of Taunton offices carry the bulk of the feedback, while several practices have earned high marks on comparatively few reviews. The chart below shows how the review volume stacks up among the city’s most-reviewed rated practices, so you can see at a glance which offices have the deepest review count and which have a strong-but-thin one.
The highest-rated dentists in Taunton
Sorted by rating, here are the Taunton practices with the strongest Dental.me Scores. Read the table together, not top-to-bottom in isolation: a perfect 5.0 built on 69 reviews and a 4.9 built on 650 are both compelling in different ways — one shows a high rating across a very large sample, the other flawless marks across a solid one. The Profile links open each office’s full Dental.me page, where the score, the review count, and office details live side by side.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mark Hirsh Inc | 5.0 | 69 | View profile |
| Theodore Safer | 4.9 | 650 | View profile |
| Loanle Truong DMD, Inc | 4.9 | 506 | View profile |
| Aesthetic Dental of Taunton LLC | 4.9 | 35 | View profile |
| Elite Dental Group P.C. | 4.8 | 343 | View profile |
| Irwin Kennon DMD Inc | 4.5 | 15 | View profile |
Theodore Safer and Loanle Truong DMD, Inc anchor the top of the list with 650 and 506 reviews respectively, both holding a 4.9 — the kind of depth that makes a score hard to move by luck. Elite Dental Group P.C. brings a 4.8 across 343 reviews, another deep sample. Mark Hirsh Inc and Aesthetic Dental of Taunton LLC show that a lighter review record can still carry elite marks, and Irwin Kennon DMD Inc rounds out the group at 4.5. Any of these is a defensible starting point; the right one depends on the care you need and how far you want to travel within the city.
What the rating bands tell you
Averages hide the shape of a market, so it helps to see where Taunton’s rated practices actually land. Of the 16 with a score, 8 sit in the top band at 4.8 stars or higher, 1 lands in the 4.5–4.79 range, 3 fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and 4 carry a score under 4.0. In plain terms, half of the rated field in Taunton clears the 4.8 bar — a genuinely strong top tier — while a smaller group sits lower and rewards a closer read of what individual reviewers actually said.
A low band is not a verdict on its own; it is a prompt to read carefully. A practice at 4.2 across many ratings has been tested far more thoroughly than one at 5.0 on three, while a very small sample can swing on a single bad day. Use the bands to sort your reading order — start with the top tier, then widen — not to write anyone off before you have looked.
Website presence and confirming an office
Of Taunton’s 34 practices, 15 have a website URL on file with Dental.me. A website makes it easy to check services, insurance, and new-patient policies before you call, and office-confirmation is one of the signals the Dental.me Score weighs alongside rating and review volume. The 19 practices with no website URL on file are not lesser offices — Dental.me does not record why the field is blank — but for those, a quick phone call is the fastest way to confirm hours, availability, and whether they are taking new patients.
Specialty care in Taunton
General cleanings are only part of the picture. Within Taunton, Dental.me counts 7 practices offering dental implants, 5 listing cosmetic dentistry, and 5 offering teeth whitening — a meaningful amount of specialty depth. If you are weighing a specific procedure, it is worth starting from the specialty list rather than the general directory, because the office with the highest overall score is not always the one that does the most of the work you need.
You can browse each of these directly: the dental implant providers in Taunton, the cosmetic dentists in Taunton, and the teeth whitening options in Taunton. Each list carries the same scores and review counts as the main directory, so you can compare specialty-specific offices on the same footing.
Dentists just beyond the Taunton line
Taunton sits at the hub of several close-in Bristol County communities, and for many residents the nearest good fit is a short drive over the town line. If you live on the edge of the city, or if a specific specialty is thin at the moment, it is worth widening your search into dentists in Raynham just to the north, dentists in Norton to the west, or dentists in Dighton to the south. Each neighboring directory works exactly like Taunton’s, so you can carry the same rating-and-review comparison across town lines without changing method.
When you are ready to compare the full field in one place, the Taunton dentist directory lists every one of the 34 practices with its current score, review count, and specialty tags, so you can filter and sort rather than piece the picture together by hand.
How to turn this list into an appointment
Put it together in three steps. First, use the top-rated table and the rating bands to build a shortlist of three or four Taunton offices — lead with the 4.8-and-up tier, but do not ignore a strong 4.5 that happens to be around the corner. Second, cross-check the specialty lists if you need implants, cosmetic work, or whitening, so your shortlist matches the care you actually want. Third, confirm the practical details: for the 15 offices with a website URL on file, check services and new-patient policy online; for the rest, call to confirm hours, insurance, and availability. Weigh rating and review depth together — a high score on many reviews tells you more than a perfect one on a handful of reviews — and you will have chosen a Taunton dentist on evidence rather than a guess.
