Dentists in Winchester, KY: Local Guide

Published June 30, 2026 · dental.me editorial · How we verify

To find a good dentist in Winchester, Kentucky, start with the 23 dental practices Dental.me tracks in this Clark County seat, focus on the 14 that carry a patient rating averaging 4.21 stars, and weigh their review counts against the 1,199 reviews on file across town before you ever book a first visit.

How Winchester’s 23 dentists stack up

Winchester sits about 18 miles east of Lexington along Interstate 64, and for a city its size it carries a fairly deep bench of dental care. Dental.me currently tracks 23 practices inside the Winchester listings. Of those, 14 have collected enough patient feedback to hold a star rating, while the remaining 9 are listed without a rating yet. That split matters: a rated practice gives you something concrete to compare, and an unrated one simply means the community hasn’t left a public record on Dental.me, not that the office is new or troubled.

The town-wide average across those 14 rated offices is 4.21 stars. That figure is pulled up by a cluster of genuinely strong performers and pulled down by a handful of offices sitting under the 4.0 line, so treat 4.21 as the midpoint of a real spread rather than a description of any single practice. The 1,199 reviews on file are also concentrated unevenly. A few Winchester offices carry hundreds of reviews each while others have only a handful, so a 4.4 built on 7 reviews and a 4.8 built on 575 reviews are two very different kinds of evidence.

Rating bands across 14 rated practices 4.8★ and up 4 4.5–4.79★ 2 4.0–4.49★ 4 Under 4.0★ 4 6 of 14 rated practices sit at 4.5 stars or higher

The band chart above is the fastest way to read the town. Four Winchester practices earn 4.8 stars or higher, two land in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, four sit between 4.0 and 4.49, and four fall below 4.0. In practical terms, six of the fourteen rated offices clear the 4.5 mark, and that top half is where most people who want a well-reviewed local dentist will begin.

The top-rated practices in Winchester

Below are the Winchester practices with the strongest public ratings on Dental.me, ordered by star rating and then by review volume. Use the rating and the review count together: the higher the review count, the more settled the rating tends to be. Every practice name links to its full Dental.me profile, where you can see the address and contact details on file.

Practice Rating Reviews Profile
Ronald Snowden 5.0 294 View profile
Keally Dentistry, PLLC 4.9 145 View profile
Tammy Mccord 4.8 575 View profile
Walter N. Peavler, DMD, PLLC 4.7 15 View profile
Dr. Gilman Peterson III, DMD 4.6 10 View profile
Rex Mccrary 4.4 7 View profile

Two names stand out for different reasons. Ronald Snowden holds a perfect 5.0 across 294 reviews, an unusual combination of a flawless average and real depth of feedback. Tammy Mccord carries the largest review base in the group at 575, and a 4.8 that holds up across that many entries is a strong signal of consistency. Keally Dentistry, PLLC rounds out the top tier at 4.9 across 145 reviews. Further down, Walter N. Peavler, Dr. Gilman Peterson III, and Rex Mccrary all rate well but on much thinner review counts, so read their scores as promising rather than proven.

Reviews on file, top six practices Tammy Mccord 575 Ronald Snowden 294 Keally Dentistry 145 Walter Peavler 15 Gilman Peterson 10 Rex Mccrary 7 These six practices hold 1,046 of the town’s 1,199 reviews

The review-scale chart makes the imbalance visible. Tammy Mccord and Ronald Snowden alone account for the bulk of Winchester’s feedback, and together the six practices above hold 1,046 of the 1,199 reviews on file citywide. When a rating rests on hundreds of entries, one unhappy visit barely moves it; when it rests on 7 or 10, a single review can swing the average by a full point. Keep that in mind as you compare.

Website coverage and reaching an office

Of the 23 Winchester practices Dental.me tracks, 11 have a website URL on file. That is just under half the directory, which is worth planning around. When a practice has a website listed, you can usually check services, insurance participation, and new-patient forms before you call. When there is no website URL on file, the profile still carries the phone number and address, so the office is reachable, you just have one fewer research channel and should expect to gather details by phone.

Website URL on file: 11 of 23 practices 11 with a website 12 without Roughly 48% of Winchester practices list a website The other 12 profiles still carry phone and address Coverage measured across all 23 tracked Winchester listings

A practical approach: shortlist two or three offices from the top of the ratings table, open their Dental.me profiles, and note which ones have a website you can review tonight. For the ones that don’t, jot down two or three questions to ask when you call, such as whether they are accepting new patients, which insurance plans they file, and how soon a first cleaning could be scheduled. Calling won’t answer everything, but it moves a shortlist forward quickly.

Specialty care in Winchester: implants and oral surgery

Beyond general and family dentistry, Winchester’s directory flags two specialty concentrations worth knowing about. Eight practices in the listings are associated with dental implants, and five are associated with oral surgery. These are among the more involved procedures a person is likely to search for locally, so having several offices tagged for each means you can compare options within town rather than assuming you have to drive to Lexington for advanced work.

Practices tagged by specialty Dental implants 8 Oral surgeons 5 Counts reflect practices tagged for each specialty locally

If you are researching a specific procedure, start from the dedicated specialty pages: the Winchester dental implants directory and the Winchester oral surgeons directory each narrow the field to the offices tagged for that work. From there, cross-reference against the ratings table above so you are choosing a well-reviewed practice that also handles the treatment you need. For a broad view of every option in town, the full Winchester dentist directory lists all 23 practices in one place.

Looking just beyond Winchester

Winchester is well connected to several nearby towns, and widening your search a short drive can open up more options, especially if your top local choices aren’t accepting new patients. Immediately to the east along US-60 sits Mount Sterling, and to the north toward the Bourbon County line is Paris. Both keep their own Dental.me directories you can browse the same way you browsed Winchester.

For the widest selection, Lexington is roughly a 20-minute drive west on I-64 and carries far more practices than a town of Winchester’s size. To the south, Richmond is another reasonable option if you are closer to the Madison County side. Comparing a Winchester shortlist against one or two of these neighboring directories is a good sanity check on rating, review depth, and availability before you commit.

How to choose your Winchester dentist

Pull the pieces together into a short routine. First, decide whether you need general care or a specialty like implants or oral surgery, and start from the matching directory. Second, filter to the rated practices and favor those clearing 4.5 stars, since six of Winchester’s fourteen rated offices sit there. Third, weigh the rating against its review count so a strong average backed by hundreds of entries carries more confidence than the same average backed by a handful.

Fourth, open the profiles of your top two or three and check which have a website URL on file for tonight’s research, then plan to call the rest with a tight list of questions. Fifth, if your leading choices are full or far from you, glance at Mount Sterling, Paris, Lexington, or Richmond before deciding. The Dental.me Score that ranks these practices is earned through rating, review volume, office-confirmation signals, and more; it is never for sale, and only a Featured placement can be paid for. That means the order you see in Winchester reflects the record, not who paid, so you can trust the comparison you just made.
