How we rank dentists in Durham

Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the dentists category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.

Common questions

Dentists in Durham: quick answers

How are the dentists in Durham ranked?

Each listing is scored on public signals we can check ourselves: whether the website is live and secure (HTTPS), whether it works on a phone, whether a phone number and website are published, and how closely the business matches the dentists category. We do not collect customer reviews, so no star ratings or review counts appear here, and no business pays for placement.

How do I pick the best dentist in Durham?

Call two or three from the list, confirm they take new patients and your plan, and ask what a first visit includes and costs. A practice that answers those plainly on the phone is usually the one to book.

Which dentists serve Durham?

This page lists Aesthetic Oral Health, Peter A. Tzendzalian, DDS, Gadol Family Dentistry, Levin Endodontics, Ninth Street Dental, O2 Dental Group of Durham Chapel Hill and OMSA Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates, in ranked order. All of them publish a phone number, so you can call directly.

What to look for when choosing a dentist in Durham

  • New patients and your insurance. Ask whether the practice is taking new patients and whether it is in network with your dental plan, or what a cleaning and exam cost without insurance.
  • Emergency and after-hours care. A cracked tooth or a toothache rarely waits for office hours. Ask how same-day and after-hours problems are handled.
  • Who does the work. Ask whether the dentist you see at the first visit is the one you will keep seeing, and whether specialist work is done in house or referred out.
