Auburn sits where the Sierra foothills tip down toward Sacramento, an old Gold Rush seat that grew into Placer County’s civic anchor — and its dental market carries a clear fingerprint. Across the 62 dental practices we track in Auburn, the most-listed service is dental implants: 16 practices list implants, ahead of cosmetic dentistry and whitening (12 each) and periodontics (11).

Here’s the wider picture before we get tactical. Of those 62 practices, 40 carry a Google rating — 3,170 reviews in total — and the town’s average lands at 4.62 out of 5. That average hides a spread: two-thirds of the rated field is rated 4.8 or higher, and ten sit below 4.5.

That last tile deserves a flag. Only 31 of Auburn’s 62 practices — exactly half — have a website on file, and all 31 are among the rated practices: none of the 22 unrated offices has a website on file. A search that starts from practice websites will miss every unrated office. The directory lists the practices with no website on file alongside the ones that have one.

It’s also worth knowing the geography. The town sits on I-80, with foothill communities and rural pockets scattered along the American River canyon. Offices here can sit a longer drive apart than in a dense downtown, which is worth holding in mind when you weigh a drive against a rating. What we can measure is the review record, and it is deepest at the top: only nine of the 40 rated practices have 100 or more reviews, and 20 have fewer than 20. A neighbor’s recommendation cannot tell you who is rated 4.9 two towns over, which is what the numbers are for.

Where Auburn’s ratings concentrate

The 4.62 average is an accurate headline and a slightly misleading one. Break the 40 rated practices into rating bands and most of them crowd into the top one.

So the field is top-heavy. Twenty-seven practices — more than two-thirds of the rated field — hold a 4.8 or higher. Below them, three sit at 4.5–4.79, six in the 4.0–4.49 range and four below 4.0, so the middle bands hold more than twice as many as the bottom one. All four below 4.0 rest on 19 reviews or fewer. The middle bands include two of the most-reviewed offices in town: Wadhwa Dental Corporation (4.1, 251 reviews, fourth by count) and Dianne Viktoria Torres (4.2, 200, seventh). With 27 practices at 4.8 or higher, check which ones are near you.

The most-reviewed names

Two Auburn practices have more than 300 reviews, and nine have 100 or more — volume that puts a larger sample behind each average. Leading the field on sheer feedback is David H. Roholt, D.D.S., Inc., carrying a 4.9 across 710 reviews, the deepest review count in town. Next, Carl J. Fleischmann DDS holds a 4.9 over 456 reviews, and Poidmore & Crawford Dental Corporation pairs a 4.9 with 253 reviews; a second listing under the reversed name, Brian C Crawford and Paolo A Poidmore, shows 4.9 on 192.

Seventeen practices carry a 5.0, two of them on 162 reviews or more: Heather Beaty, DDS, Inc (230 reviews) and Advanced Dentistry of Auburn (162 reviews) — a 5.0 held across 150-plus reviews rests on far more ratings than a 5.0 built on a dozen. Rounding out the leaders, Paul Kodet posts a 4.9 over 204 reviews. These six, with the second Crawford and Poidmore listing, are the seven practices rated 4.9 or higher with more than 150 reviews; which one fits depends on the work you need, which is where Auburn’s specialty depth comes in.

What Auburn’s practices list

Here’s the full specialty map: how many Auburn practices list each service.

Line those bars up and implants lead. Sixteen Auburn practices place dental implants and eleven offer periodontal care — together with eight oral surgeons, that’s a wide set of local listings for surgical and restorative work. The thinner end is worth noting: no Auburn practice lists prosthodontics, only two list dentures, and five each list endodontics and emergency care, with six pediatric practices. A listing does not tell you an office’s hours or openings, so if you have young kids or might need urgent care, find an office and ask before you need it.

The cosmetic and alignment side is listed too: twelve cosmetic practices and eight Invisalign providers mean straightening and smile work have local listings too.

A field guide to choosing well in Auburn

Given the spread of ratings and the website gap, here’s the sequence that works in this specific market.

The third step deserves a closer look. A 5.0 built on 150-plus reviews — like Heather Beaty’s or Advanced Dentistry of Auburn’s — rests on far more ratings than a 5.0 resting on fifteen, because volume is what makes a rating hard to accumulate by chance. When you’re comparing two strong options, let the depth of the record break the tie. And on step four: because half of Auburn’s practices have no website, a phone call is often the only way to confirm they take your insurance or have openings — don’t read the absence of a site as the absence of a practice.

One more Auburn-specific note on cost. Dental.me holds no price data for Auburn offices, so for implant and restorative work it pays to get two or three written quotes. Our national guide to dental costs publishes no prices either, but it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials) before you start dialing.

If Auburn doesn’t have your match

Auburn is the hub, but Placer and El Dorado counties spread its patients across a ring of smaller communities, and a practice one exit away is still a short drive. Just west, Newcastle and Loomis sit right on the I-80 corridor toward Sacramento; Lincoln anchors the growing north-county suburbs. Up the hill and toward the American River canyon, Meadow Vista, Cool, and Lotus round out the rural options. These directories are small: Lincoln lists 43 practices, Loomis 6, and Newcastle, Meadow Vista, Cool and Lotus three or fewer each. Widening your search can add options for Auburn’s shorter lists, such as dentures, endodontics or pediatric care.

Whichever direction you go, start from the full field rather than whatever surfaces first on a map. Browse every one of Auburn’s tracked practices — ratings, review counts, specialties, and all — in one place.
