Dental.me lists 33 dental practices in Bettendorf, Iowa. Twenty of them carry a Google rating, and those 20 average 4.7 stars (4.695, a plain mean, each rated office counted once) on 4,776 Google reviews. Read each rating beside its review count, then confirm the office fits the care you need.
What the numbers say about Bettendorf’s 33 practices
The other 13 listed practices carry no Google rating, and Dental.me does not record why. The 4,776 reviews are not spread evenly: seven offices hold 225 to 1,009 reviews each, 4,328 together (91%), while the median rated office holds 34 and seven of the 20 rest on 11 reviews or fewer.
Fourteen of the 20 rated offices (70%) hold 4.8 or higher, so the star alone rarely separates two Bettendorf offices, and four of those 14 rest on 11 reviews or fewer. Two hold 4.5 to 4.79: Kimball & Beecher Group LLC (4.7 on 550) and Duane Van Nieuwenhuyzen (4.7 on 27). Two hold 4.0 to 4.49: Selden Benjamin R Dr DDS (4.3 on 6) and Alexander Terrell (4.0 on 4). Two sit below 4.0: Joel Peterson (3.9 on 29) and David Fritz (3.7 on 3). Without those two, the other 18 average 4.79.
The top-rated dental practices in Bettendorf
The table lists the six highest-rated Bettendorf offices with more than 150 reviews, sorted by star rating and then by review count. They are also the first six in the Dental.me Score order, where Melinda Hochgesang is first, QC Dental Docs, P.C. second and Quad City Orthodontics third; Dental Care at The Plex and Applewhite Dental Iowa PC share fifth. Five Bettendorf offices show 5.0, and three of them, Tiffanie A Smith, DDS (3 reviews), Burnham & Gagliardo, P.L.L.C. (1) and Paul R Black DDS PC (1), rest on three reviews or fewer. The fifth-largest record, Kimball & Beecher Group LLC (4.7 on 550), is not in the table; it is tenth in the Score order.

Reading the table
Read the two columns together. Melinda Hochgesang (5.0 on 555) and Quad City Orthodontics (5.0 on 398) show 5.0 on several hundred reviews each. QC Dental Docs, P.C. holds 4.9 on 1,009, the largest record in Bettendorf and 21% of all its reviews. Dental Care at The Plex (4.8 on 863) and Applewhite Dental Iowa PC (4.8 on 728) hold the second- and third-largest. A Google rating is rounded to one decimal, and a review count is not a measure of clinical quality.
How the Dental.me Score works in a city like Bettendorf
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. In Bettendorf the first six in that order hold 167 to 1,009 reviews each. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order.
The six largest review records in Bettendorf hold 4,103 of its 4,776 reviews (86%). Five of them are in the table; the sixth, Kimball & Beecher Group LLC (4.7 on 550), is not, while Bettendorf Family Dental (4.9 on 167), fourth in the Score order, holds the eighth-largest record. The chart shows the six with each rating.
Websites, phones and hours
Dental.me holds a website for 21 of Bettendorf’s 33 listed practices (64%): all 20 rated offices and one unrated listing, Quad City Sleep Co. It holds a phone number for all 33 and posted hours for 20. No website on file does not mean the office lacks one. For the other 12, call to check hours, services and insurance. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
Bettendorf’s 12 service lists
Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for Bettendorf, and they hold 55 listings. Longest first: teeth whitening 9, cosmetic dentists 9, pediatric dentists 7, orthodontists 5, Invisalign 5, dentures 5, dental implants 4, emergency dentists 4, endodontists 4, periodontists 2, prosthodontists 1. No office is on the oral-surgeon list. The orthodontist and Invisalign lists name the same five offices. QC Dental Docs, P.C. is on 8 of the 12, the most, and Melinda Hochgesang on seven; Burnham & Gagliardo, P.L.L.C. (5.0 on one review) is on six. The one prosthodontist listing is David Fritz (3.7 on 3). Seven rated offices are on no list, among them Dental Care at The Plex (4.8 on 863), the second-largest record, and Bettendorf Family Dental (4.9 on 167). 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. Three of the lists:
- Cosmetic dentists in Bettendorf — nine offices.
- Pediatric dentists in Bettendorf — seven offices, among them Quad City Orthodontics and QC Dental Docs, P.C.
- Orthodontists in Bettendorf — five offices, the same five as the Invisalign list.

How to choose your Bettendorf dentist
Four steps help. First, decide what you need and start from that service list. Second, read each rating beside its review count: five offices show 5.0, and three of them rest on three reviews or fewer. Third, check whether Dental.me holds a website for the office (it does for 21 of 33); for the rest, plan a call. Fourth, confirm insurance participation, how soon the office can see you and where it sits relative to your routine; no rating answers those.
