How to choose a dentist in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City has 99 dentists listed across 8 specialties, with an average public rating of 4.8 out of 5. A few things to weigh when narrowing down:
- Match the specialty to your need — a general dentist for checkups and fillings, an orthodontist for braces or aligners, an oral surgeon for extractions or implants, or an emergency dentist for urgent pain.
- Read recent reviews — look for consistent comments on bedside manner, wait times and billing, not just the star average.
- Confirm insurance and pricing — accepted plans vary by office, so call ahead before booking. Medicaid dental coverage for adults also varies by state.
- Factor in location — a conveniently located practice makes routine cleanings and follow-ups easier to keep.

Dentists in Salt Lake City — FAQ
What should I look for in a dentist’s credentials?
Check that the dentist holds a DDS or DMD degree, is licensed by the Utah State Board of Dentistry, has completed any additional training for the specialty you need. Verify board certification for specialties such as orthodontics or oral surgery, and confirm participation in continuing education to stay current.
How can I evaluate patient reviews effectively?
Read multiple reviews across different platforms to spot consistent themes. Look for comments about appointment punctuality, communication clarity, and treatment results. Pay attention to how the practice responds to negative feedback, as a respectful reply often reflects good patient care overall.
What questions should I ask during my first call?
Ask whether the dentist accepts your insurance and what the co‑pay is for a new‑patient exam. Inquire about the availability of same‑day or next‑day appointments, the typical waiting time, and whether the office offers sedation options for anxious patients. Confirm the dentist’s experience with the specific treatment you need.
