Dental.me lists 24 dental practices in Athens, Tennessee. Fifteen carry a Google rating, and those 15 average 4.58 stars across 3,120 reviews (a plain mean, each rated office counted once); the other nine carry no rating. Read each rating beside its review count, check whether a website is on file, and shortlist a few offices before you call.
What the Athens dental market looks like by the numbers
Of the 24 practices Dental.me lists in Athens, 15 carry a Google rating and nine do not; Dental.me does not record why an office has no rating. Dental.me holds a phone number for all 24 and posted hours for 14.
The 15 ratings spread this way: eight at 4.8 or higher, three from 4.5 to 4.79, two from 4.0 to 4.49 and two under 4.0. The top band is not all deep records: three of its eight rest on 32 reviews or fewer, two of them 5.0s on 8 and 2 reviews. The 4.0 to 4.49 band holds the second-largest record in town, Bradley Beisiegel (4.4 on 713 reviews). The two offices under 4.0 hold 19 reviews between them (3.9 on 17 and 3.0 on 2), so one more review can move either.
Only 10 of the 24 practices have a website on file with Dental.me (all ten are rated), and 14 do not. No website on file does not mean an office lacks one. Where a site is on file, use it to check services and insurance; for the others, the phone number on the profile is the way to ask about hours, insurance and how soon the office can see you.
The first six offices in the Dental.me Score order
The table below shows the first six Athens offices in the Dental.me Score order (how the Score works is set out below). Read the two columns together: a 5.0 on 1,095 reviews rests on far more ratings than a 5.0 on a handful. Two other Athens offices also show a 5.0, on 8 and 2 reviews, and sit lower in the Score order. Davidson Dental Center and Martin Wilhelm share the same Score; exact review counts break the tie.

| Davidson Dental Center | 4.9 | 226 | View profile |

Johnny Kennedy holds the largest review record in Athens: a 5.0 on 1,095 reviews, about 35% of the 3,120 reviews on rated Athens offices. The second-largest record is Bradley Beisiegel (4.4 on 713), tenth in the Score order and not in the table, followed by Athens Family Dental (4.8 on 472). Davidson Dental Center, Martin Wilhelm and Mcminn Dental Center PLLC each show 4.9, on 226, 184 and 108 reviews. East Tennessee Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, PC shows 4.7 on 207. The six largest records hold 2,897 of the 3,120 reviews (93%); the other nine rated offices hold 223 between them.
How the Dental.me Score works
Every star rating on Dental.me is the Google rating on file. The Dental.me Score is built mainly from a practice’s Google rating and the depth of reviews behind it, with a small lift for an office that verifies its listing. So a 5.0 on a few reviews does not sit level with a 5.0 on more than a thousand. Eight Athens offices show 4.8 or higher, on review counts from 2 to 1,095, and the Score order reflects that spread. A Google rating is not a measure of clinical quality.
Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order. The method is set out in how we rank practices.
Athens’s 12 service lists
Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for Athens, and they hold 29 listings. Longest first: teeth whitening 7, cosmetic dentists 6, dental implants 5, periodontists 3, emergency dentists 2, pediatric dentists 1, orthodontists 1, Invisalign 1, oral surgeons 1, dentures 1, endodontists 1. No office is on the prosthodontist list. Bradley Beisiegel is on eight of the 12 lists, more than any other Athens office, and is the only office on the pediatric, endodontist and dentures lists. 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.
East Tennessee Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, PC (4.7 on 207) is the only office on the Athens oral surgeon list. Foothills Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (4.6 on 46) has oral surgery in its listed name but is on no Dental.me service list, so ask it directly what it does. Athens Family Dental, the third-largest record, is on no list either.
Reading ratings and review counts together
Read every Athens rating beside its review count. A 5.0 on 1,095 reviews and a 4.9 on 108 are both high averages, but the first rests on about ten times as many ratings and moves less with each new review. Neither number describes how an office would handle your treatment.
One practical way to use the data: start from the table and the six largest records, then narrow by what you need, whether that is a website you can check, a specific service list, or an office near you. Do not skip the lower bands unread: the 4.0 to 4.49 band holds Bradley Beisiegel, the second-largest record and the only office on three service lists, while the two offices under 4.0 rest on 19 reviews between them. Every option is on the Athens dentist directory.
Looking just beyond Athens
If the office you want is booked or out of network, Dental.me also lists these Tennessee places: Sweetwater (11 practices, 6 rated), Madisonville (7 practices, 4 rated), Etowah (2 practices, 2 rated), Decatur (1 practice, 1 rated), Tellico Plains (1 practice, 1 rated). Each lists fewer practices than Athens (24); Sweetwater is the largest of them with 11. They use the same Google data and Dental.me Score, so you can compare offices on the same terms. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.
