Questions about this list
- How were the Top 5 practices in Columbia chosen?
- We started with every active dental implant practice within the Columbia 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.
- Can a practice pay to be on this list?
- No. Placement is based only on public Google ratings and review counts. Practices cannot pay to be included, and paid directory listings do not affect the ranking.
- How often is the list updated?
- Once a year. This is the 2026 list. Each year's list is ranked from the data available at the time it is published and stays as a record of that year.
