The full answer

No single dentist in Butte is objectively "the best." It depends on what you need, and most Butte offices have only a handful of online reviews. I checked Yelp's listings for Butte, and these are the highest-rated:

  • Erik H. Johnson, DMD: 5.0 stars from 3 reviews. One reviewer comes from a family of dentists and said he listens well.
  • Aaron Shearman, DDS: 4.2 stars from 5 reviews. Reviewers mention professional, friendly staff, a clean office and a good hygienist.
  • Silver Creek Family Dentistry: 4.3 stars from 7 reviews, the most of any Butte office on the list. Reviewers praise everyone from the front desk to the dentist.
  • Butte Family Dental: 5.0 stars, but from only 1 review. That reviewer was very enthusiastic about Dr. Kyle and his assistant.
  • Stephen P. Walters, DMD MSD: 5.0 stars from 2 reviews. The "MSD" means he has specialty training, so check whether his practice fits what you need.
  • William D. Brennick, DDS and J.P. Walters: 5.0 stars, 1 review each.

With this few reviews, the ratings don't say much. Before you choose, I'd suggest:

  1. Looking at Google reviews as well, since they usually have more.
  2. Making sure the office takes your insurance.
  3. Asking about anything specific you need, like work for kids, cosmetic work, implants or sedation.
  4. Asking local friends or coworkers who they use.

If you tell me what you're looking for, such as a family dentist, an emergency visit or a specialist, I can help narrow it down.
