Best Dentists in DeLand, Florida

What reviewers mention: friendly staff, teeth cleaning, comfortable atmosphere, clear explanations.

DeLand Family Dental holds the top position on this list with a 4.9 Google rating from 63 reviews, and what edges it past a perfect-scoring rival is longevity. Its downtown location on South Dexter Avenue traces back to 1945, and our scoring gives full credit to a practice with decades of continuous operation, enough to lift a strong rating on a modest review count all the way to number one. That 1945 date is the practice's lineage, not any current dentist's tenure; the office today is led by Dr. Craig Barney. Reviewers point to friendly staff, routine teeth cleanings, a comfortable atmosphere, and clear explanations of what care is needed. The office sits at 111 S Dexter Ave, near Downtown DeLand and Stetson University. On July 8, 2026, its Florida dental license, DN30196, checked out clear and active. Nail down any major treatment plan, and its cost, on paper before work begins.

What reviewers mention: friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, thorough exams, no pushed procedures.

Christopher J. Cowell DMD ranks second and carries the only perfect rating on this page, a 5.0 Google average across 65 reviews. It sits just behind DeLand Family Dental because our scoring weighs years at the practice alongside the rating, and DeLand Family Dental's decades-long lineage edges out Dr. Cowell's shorter tenure. His own site states he has practiced dentistry in DeLand for over two decades, the conservative figure we use rather than his full license history. Reviewers describe friendly staff, a welcoming atmosphere, thorough exams, and a dentist who does not push unnecessary procedures, a signal worth reading in full. You will find the office at 228 E New York Ave, Suite D. In the state registry, his Florida license, DN14124, showed a clear, active status when we checked on July 8, 2026. A perfect rating on 65 reviews is genuinely strong, so skim a few and judge whether his approach fits.

What reviewers mention: friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, invisalign treatment, state of the art equipment.

Woodland Dental Care ranks third on the strength of its review base: 688 Google reviews at a 4.8 average, the second-largest count of any practice on this page. That volume is what carries it past two higher-rated offices, since our scoring rewards a strong average that holds up across hundreds of patients rather than dozens. Reviewers mention friendly staff, a comfortable atmosphere, Invisalign treatment, and state-of-the-art equipment. It runs out of 2409 S Woodland Blvd in DeLand under Dr. Maria Martinez Carrillo, per the state license record. We could not confirm a founding date from a source we accept, so we left its years in business out of the scoring rather than guess at them. The July 8, 2026 registry check returned its Florida license, DN26966, active and in the clear. If Invisalign is on your mind, or you simply want plenty of recent patient feedback to sift through, this one rewards a closer look.

What reviewers mention: oral surgery, emergency appointments, root canals, pediatric dentistry.

Greenberg Dental & Orthodontics ranks fourth and is an honest illustration of how our scoring works. Its 4.3 Google rating is the lowest on this page, yet its 1,077 reviews are the largest review count here by a wide margin, and that volume lifts it to fourth. This is a multi-dentist chain office, so you may not see the same provider each visit. Reviewers highlight oral surgery, emergency appointments, root canals, and pediatric dentistry, a broader specialty mix than a solo practice. The office operates at 2641 S Woodland Blvd in DeLand. Two general dentists here are license-verified: Dr. Nicole Doherty, DN15963, and Dr. Dzung Nguyen, DN14906, both clear and active in the state's July 8, 2026 records. A low average across a very large sample tells you something different from a high one on a handful, so scan the recent reviews for the issues that matter to you before you book.

What reviewers mention: kind staff, thorough cleanings, insurance coverage assistance, no wait time.

Dale D. Batten DMD PA lands fifth, its 4.9 Google rating across 236 reviews forming one of the stronger rating-and-volume pairings on this page. It sits here rather than higher because the practices ranked above it pair a comparable rating with either a longer verified track record or a much larger review base. Reviewers single out kind staff, thorough cleanings, help understanding insurance coverage, and short wait times, the kinds of specifics worth reading before you call. It sees patients at 123 W Plymouth Ave in DeLand. Its opening date is unverified, so its years in business could not count toward the rank one way or the other. Its Florida dental license, DN8115, came back clear and active at our July 8, 2026 verification. If insurance questions or wait times are your worry, this is a practice reviewers tend to praise on both counts.

What reviewers mention: emergency appointments, financing options, crowns, tooth extractions.

DeLand Smiles ranks sixth with a 4.8 Google rating from 235 reviews, a review base almost identical to Dale D. Batten's directly above it. The narrow gap between the two comes down to a one-tenth difference in average rating, a fair reminder that ranks this close reflect small margins rather than large gaps in quality. Reviewers bring up emergency appointments, financing options, crowns, and tooth extractions, which points to a practice used to both routine and urgent work. Its DeLand address is 158 McGregor Rd. No founding date checked out, so its tenure sits out of the ranking. The Florida license on file, DN28631, read clear and active the day we ran our July 8, 2026 check. Emergency care and financing a larger treatment plan both come up often in its reviews, so ask for the cost in writing up front before you agree to it.

What reviewers mention: insurance assistance, crowns, thorough cleanings, calming atmosphere.

Coast Dental ranks seventh, its 4.5 Google rating resting on 351 reviews. It is part of a corporate dental group, so this is a DeLand office of a larger network rather than an independent practice, and you may see different providers on different visits. Reviewers note insurance assistance, crowns, thorough cleanings, and a calming atmosphere. The DeLand office sits at 237 E International Speedway Blvd, Suite 1B, and is associated with Dr. Nathalie Shoer. Her Florida dental license, DN17834, verified active and clear on our July 8, 2026 pass; the license address of record is a different office within the group, which is normal for multi-location dental companies. Several hundred reviews make that rating a dependable signal, so check a few recent ones for how billing and scheduling go, then confirm your insurance coverage before the first visit.

What reviewers mention: dentures, tooth extractions, emergency dentistry, quick scheduling.

Rite Now Dental ranks eighth, its 4.6 Google rating drawn from 104 reviews. Both numbers land it in the lower half of this list, though each is solid, and it clears two practices that have fewer reviews behind their averages. Reviewers point to dentures, tooth extractions, emergency dentistry, and quick scheduling, which suggests a practice comfortable with urgent and restorative work rather than only routine checkups. It works out of 2235 S Woodland Blvd, Suite 101 in DeLand under Dr. Gregory Moo, per the state license record. Its founding date, again, was not confirmable, so time in business went uncounted. Its Florida license, DN9681, came up active with a clear status against the state's July 8, 2026 record. A fast appointment or dentures are what its reviewers raise most, so pin down the price in writing before you commit to a plan.

What reviewers mention: clear explanations, relaxed atmosphere, thorough treatment, warm greeting.

Jennifer L. Csenge, D.D.S., P.L.L.C. ranks ninth with a 4.9 Google rating, one of the highest averages on this page, though it rests on 51 reviews, the smallest verified count here. Our scoring weighs review volume alongside the rating, which is why a near-perfect average on a modest sample lands in the lower half rather than near the top. Reviewers credit clear explanations, a relaxed atmosphere, thorough treatment, and a warm greeting, all pointing to an unhurried, patient-focused office. Her office is at 449 E New York Ave, Suite A in DeLand. Its Florida dental license, DN23638, was listed active and clear in the July 8, 2026 registry pull, and the license address of record matches this office exactly. A high average on a small sample can mean a genuinely good small practice or simply a shorter public record; judge it with that in mind.

What reviewers mention: flexible scheduling, fair rates, clean office, welcoming atmosphere.

Victorian Dental, the practice of Dr. Christopher Rae, rounds out this list at number ten with a 4.5 Google rating from 66 reviews. It ranks last here mainly on review volume: 66 reviews is among the smallest verified counts on the page, and our scoring weighs how many patients stand behind an average. The practice recently relocated to 131 Victoria Commons Blvd in DeLand, and reviewers frequently mention the new office; an older listing at a prior address is a stale duplicate we set aside. Reviews call out flexible scheduling, fair rates, a clean office, and a welcoming atmosphere. The Florida dental license here, DN18823, stood active and clear when we last checked, July 8, 2026. A modest count at a newly opened spot can simply reflect a shorter track record at this address, so weigh the available feedback and confirm scheduling and pricing directly before you book.
