Questions about this list
- How were the Top 5 practices in Charleston chosen?
- We started with every active dental implant practice within the Charleston metro area in our directory, removed chains and dental service organizations, and kept practices with a Google rating and at least 20 Google reviews. Each practice was scored on its rating weighted by review volume, so a 5.0 across 900 reviews ranks above a 5.0 across 40. The 5 highest scores make the list, which is shown in alphabetical order.
- What counts as an independent practice?
- A practice that is not part of a national or regional dental service organization (DSO) or a multi-market chain brand. Single-location practices and locally owned groups qualify. Chains are excluded because this award is meant to recognize independently owned implant practices.
