Dental.me lists 44 dental practices in Bellevue, Nebraska. Eighteen carry a Google rating, and those 18 average 4.26 stars (a plain mean, each rated office counted once); the other 26 carry no rating, and Dental.me does not record why. By office the ratings spread wide: eight hold 4.8 or higher, two hold 4.5 to 4.79, four hold 4.0 to 4.49 and four sit below 4.0, and the median rated office is a 4.5. By reviews the picture differs: those four bands hold 2,356 (64%), 103 (3%), 1,122 (30%) and 128 (3%) of the 3,709 reviews.

With ratings this spread out, read each rating beside its review count before you shortlist. This guide covers the Score order, how the ratings spread, where the reviews sit, websites and hours on file, the 12 service lists and the places nearby that Dental.me also lists, among them Omaha.

The shape of Bellevue’s dental market

Dental.me holds a website for 23 of the 44 listed practices (52%): 17 of the 18 rated offices and six unrated ones. The one rated office without a website on file is Richard Sample (3.7 on 6). No website on file does not mean an office lacks one. Dental.me holds a phone number for all 44 and posted hours for 15.

The 18 rated offices hold 3,709 Google reviews; the other 26 listings carry no rating, which says nothing either way about the office. Those 26 rows hold little else: six have a website URL on file and one has posted hours. For an office with no website or hours on file, a call is the way to check services, hours, insurance and whether it is taking new patients. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.

How Bellevue’s 18 ratings spread out

Sorted into Google-rating bands, eight of the 18 rated offices hold 4.8 or higher, two hold 4.5 to 4.79, four hold 4.0 to 4.49 and four sit below 4.0: Midlands Dental Group LLC (2.2 on 66), Richard Stacey (3.3 on 53), Richard Sample (3.7 on 6) and Affordable Dentures & Implants – Omaha, P.C. (2.3 on 3). Two of those four rest on six reviews or fewer, and the 2.3 on 3 gives the same street address and website host as the largest record in the city, Affordable Dentures & Implants (4.2 on 769), so the two may be one operation. A low rating is a reason to ask questions, not a verdict on the care.

A 4.8 line looks tidy and drops a lot. The eight offices at or above it rest on 44 to 744 reviews, but the line removes the largest record in the city (4.2 on 769), Summit Dental Health – Towne (4.2 on 316) and Kennedy Dental Associates (4.5 on 97), and it leaves one row, Today’s Dental Bellevue, on each of the implant, periodontic, endodontic and emergency lists. A rating reflects whoever chose to leave a review, a larger count is a larger sample, and neither number is a measure of clinical quality.

The Score order and where the reviews sit

The table lists the first five offices in the Dental.me Score order. 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. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order. The first eight in the Score order are the eight offices rated 4.8 or higher:

• Today’s Dental Bellevue, LLC — 4.9★ on 605 reviews.
• Angeli Thakker — 4.9★ on 387 reviews.
• David R. Mack, DDS, PC — 4.9★ on 329 reviews.
• Summit Plaza Dental Care — 4.8★ on 744 reviews, the second-largest record in Bellevue.
• Willow Dental — 5.0★ on 103 reviews, the only 5.0 in Bellevue.
• Dunlow Orthodontics, P.C. — 4.9★ on 83 reviews.
• Blake Latendresse — 4.8★ on 61 reviews.
• Aesthetic & Family Dentistry LLC — 4.8★ on 44 reviews.

The largest review record in Bellevue is not on that list: Affordable Dentures & Implants holds 769 reviews at 4.2, and Summit Dental Health – Towne LLC holds 316 at 4.2. The six largest records hold 3,150 of the 3,709 reviews (85%). Willow Dental’s 5.0 is the only 5.0 in Bellevue, on 103 reviews. Angeli Thakker, second on the Score, has a URL on file at childrensnebraska.org, on a page under another dentist’s name, so confirm who you are calling. Every office, rated and unrated, is on the Bellevue dentist hub, which lists all 44.

Affordable Dentures & Implants (769) and Summit Plaza Dental Care (744) together hold 1,513 reviews (41%). Today’s Dental Bellevue (605) is next. For an office with few reviews, read its profile and call before deciding.

Bellevue’s 12 service lists

Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for Bellevue, and they hold 45 listings across 15 of the 44 rows. Longest first: teeth whitening 8, cosmetic dentists 8, pediatric dentists 6, orthodontists 4, Invisalign 4, dentures 4, dental implants 3, emergency dentists 3, periodontists 3, endodontists 2. No office is on the oral surgeon or prosthodontist list. The cosmetic and teeth-whitening lists name the same eight offices, the orthodontist and Invisalign lists the same four, and the dental implant, periodontist and emergency-dentist lists the same three. Today’s Dental Bellevue is on 10 of the 12 lists and Kennedy Dental Associates, P.C. (4.5 on 97) on nine. Seven rated offices are on no list, among them Summit Plaza Dental Care (4.8 on 744), and a row named Alfred T Longo DDS MS Orthodontist (4.5 on 6), whose name the orthodontist list does not reflect. A list is a directory category, not a specialist credential or a record of how often an office does that work, so ask whether the office does your procedure itself.

Each list page names its offices, so you can start from the service you need: the Bellevue cosmetic dentists, the teeth whitening list or the pediatric dentists. Dunlow Orthodontics (4.9 on 83) is on the orthodontist list with Kennedy Dental Associates, Today’s Dental Bellevue and Hagen Steven V MD, which carries no rating, has a name ending in MD and gives an address on Bellevue Medical Center Drive. Three of the six rows on the pediatric list are unrated and give one phone number: Rakes Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Ashley Tietgen and Dr. Ryan Hajek. The oral surgeon and prosthodontist lists are empty here, and the section below says which nearby lists hold those.

How to pick, step by step

Eighteen of the 44 listings have a Google rating and 21 have no website URL on file, so here is one order to work in.

Step one: name the work, then open that service list, or the Bellevue directory for general care. Step two: read each rating beside its review count: Willow Dental’s 5.0 rests on 103 reviews, and the largest record, 769, sits on a 4.2. Step three: ask each office whether it does your procedure itself, whether it is in network for your plan and how soon it can see you. Step four: ask for a written, itemised estimate. How the Score is built is set out in how we rank practices. 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.

Places nearby that Dental.me also lists

Dental.me also lists these places. Omaha (524 practices, 249 rated) and Council Bluffs, IA (46, 23 rated) list more than Bellevue’s 44. Papillion (28, 14 rated), La Vista (16, 11 rated), Ralston (2, 2 rated) and Plattsmouth (2, 2 rated) list fewer, and Plattsmouth reads 0 on all 12 service lists. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.

Bellevue’s oral surgeon and prosthodontist lists are empty, and these places differ on them. The oral surgeon list holds 43 in Omaha, 2 each in Papillion and Council Bluffs and 1 in La Vista. The prosthodontist list holds 7 in Omaha and 0 in every other place named here.

Totals on this page count listings, not distinct offices. At least 12 of the 26 unrated rows give the phone number or street address of a rated office, including a Dental Professionals of Nebraska row at Summit Plaza Dental Care’s address. Three rows give 2501 Capehart Road, one of them naming the 55 Dental Squadron, and all three of Dental.me’s Offutt AFB rows give that address too, so ask whether that clinic can see you. An unrated Omaha District Dental Society row gives 1411 John F Kennedy Drive, a Plattsmouth Family Dentistry row gives a Bellevue address, and Midlands Dental Group’s URL on file is southroadsdentalcenter.com. We have not merged or removed any of these.

Start on the Bellevue dentist hub, which lists all 44 offices, read each rating beside its review count, and call to confirm the details before you book. The Omaha directory lists 524.
