Directory data as of October 2026. Google ratings/review counts are third-party data and do not by themselves prove clinical quality.

Dental.me lists 39 dental practices in Anniston, Alabama. Twenty carry a Google rating and 19 do not; Dental.me does not record why an office has no rating. The 20 ratings are lopsided: sixteen sit at 4.8 stars or higher, none at 4.5–4.79, one at 4.0–4.49 and three below 4.0.

The bands need their review counts beside them. Five of the sixteen 4.8+ ratings rest on 32 reviews or fewer (two on one or two reviews), and two of the three ratings below 4.0 rest on three reviews each; the third, Yesylle White at 3.9, has 117. A rating band alone does not sort strong offices from weak ones.

The Anniston market at a glance

Across the city, the 20 rated offices hold 5,033 Google reviews and average 4.66 stars (a plain mean, each office counted once). Sixteen of the 39 practices (41%) have a website on file, and every one of the 39 has a phone number, so for most of the field the phone is the way to check details.

Where the reviews actually live

Anniston’s reviews are concentrated. The six largest review records hold 3,671 of the 5,033 reviews (73%); the other 14 rated offices hold 1,362. A thin record says nothing either way about an office’s care, but a 5.0 or 4.9 held across hundreds of reviews rests on a far larger sample than one built on a handful, and Anniston has ten offices at 4.8 or higher with more than 200 reviews each.

Review concentration in Anniston 73% of all reviews Six largest records — 3,671 reviews The other 33 practices — 1,362 reviews Most of Anniston’s public feedback sits with a handful of practices. The rest carry thinner records; the listing does not say why.

The six largest are Michael Pruitt / Jennifer H. Pruitt, D.M.D. (5.0 on 1,008, the deepest review base in the city), Designer Smiles of AL (5.0 on 806), Andre Ferreira (4.9 on 632), Glen B McDonald DDS PC (4.9 on 522), Caitlin S. Jones, D.M.D. (5.0 on 367) and John A. Flannagan, DMD (5.0 on 336). McDonald is the fourth-largest record but seventh by Score, and has no website on file. Benjamin D. Williams Dental Group (5.0 on 315) comes next, and it is the only office on the periodontists list. You can browse all of them on the Anniston dentist directory.

The empty middle band

Plotted by rating band, Anniston’s 20 rated practices stack at the top, leave the 4.5–4.79 band empty, and put four offices below 4.5.

A 4.8+ rating is not a full answer on its own here: five of those sixteen rest on 32 reviews or fewer. Do not skip the lower bands either. Yesylle White (3.9 on 117) is the only rated office on the pediatric dentists list and one of the two offices on the emergency dentists list. For any office, read the reviews on its Google listing, call to ask how it handles the treatment you need, and confirm it is still practicing. Dental.me holds no review dates, so check the dates on the Google listing itself.

What the service lists show

Dental.me sorts practices onto 12 service lists. In Anniston the longest are cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening, six offices each and the same six on both. Four are on each of the dental implants, orthodontists and Invisalign lists, three on pediatric dentists, two each on endodontists and emergency dentists, one each on periodontists and oral surgeons, and none on dentures or prosthodontists. The deepest records sit on few lists: Michael Pruitt and Caitlin S. Jones are on none, and Designer Smiles is on the orthodontists and Invisalign lists only. A place on a list shows what an office lists, not how often it does that work, so ask whether the office does your procedure itself. If a list you need is short, ask your Anniston dentist for a referral or look at the neighbouring directories below.

Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemised estimate.
