    How the lists are ranked

    Each metro starts with every active implant practice in our directory within driving distance of its principal city. We remove national and regional dental service organizations and chain brands, then keep practices with a public Google rating and at least 20 reviews.

    Practices are scored on their Google rating weighted by review volume, so a 5.0 across hundreds of reviews ranks above a 5.0 across a few dozen. Metros with 80 or more eligible independent practices get a Top 10. Metros with 25 to 79 get a Top 5. Smaller metros are not ranked.

    Lists are published once a year from the data available at publication and are not affected by paid listings. Awarded practices may display their badge, which links back to the list it came from.
