How the 2026 Dental Directory Was Built
Finding a new dentist usually starts with a recommendation, and this list is built the same way. To compile the 2026 directory, TopDentists—now part of Castle Connolly, the firm behind our Top Doctors and Top Hospitals lists—starts out by polling licensed dentists throughout the area and requesting that they put forward their colleagues. After the nominees were reviewed, the result is this directory featuring 796 of the region’s professionals. The print version of the October 2026 issue initially debuted the directory under the title “Top Dentists 2026.”
Specialized Subspecialties Represented in the Regional Listing
In addition to everyday family dentists, the directory includes orthodontists, pediatric dentists, endodontists, cosmetic dentists alongside experts focusing on niche areas like dental anesthesiology, oral medicine, and oral pathology. Whether you’re seeking routine maintenance or specialized treatment, you’ll find a trove of highly qualified professionals to handle your teeth, ensuring the best possible care for you and your family’s oral health.
