Dental.me lists 52 practices in Bloomington, Minnesota. Of its 12 service lists, the longest are cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening, with the same 18 practices on each. Those lists show what offices list, not what patients ask for, and Dental.me has no list for routine care such as cleanings or fillings.

Of the 52 offices, 31 carry a Google rating; the other 21 have no rating on file, and Dental.me does not record why. The 31 hold 5,386 reviews between them. The mean is about 174 per rated office, but the median is 65, because a few large records carry most of the total: the six largest hold 3,457 (64%). The average rating is 4.6 out of 5.

One more figure is worth knowing up front: 28 of the 52 practices have a website on file (26 of them among the rated offices), and 24 do not. A missing website means Dental.me does not hold one, not that the office has none. Dental.me holds posted hours for 24 of the 52 and a phone number for all 52, so for the rest, a phone call fills the gap.

How the 31 ratings spread out

When the 31 rated practices are sorted into bands, 20 sit at 4.8 or higher, four between 4.5 and 4.79, four between 4.0 and 4.49 and three below 4.0. That is about two in three in the top band, but 9 of those 20 rest on 14 reviews or fewer, and 7 of the 9 offices rated 5.0 rest on 10 or fewer.

With 20 offices in the top band, the rating alone rarely separates them. The choice comes down to the number of reviews behind each rating, the service you need, whether the office takes your insurance, and whether its hours fit yours. Use the full Bloomington dentist directory to narrow the field before you pick up the phone.

Where the reviews concentrate

The two largest records in Bloomington are not in the top band. Aspen Bloom holds a 4.3 across 794 reviews, and River Bluff Dental a 2.1 across 580, the second-largest record in the city and one of its three sub-4.0 ratings. Next come LifeSmiles Family Dentistry (4.9, 564 reviews), Metro Dentalcare Bloomington (4.8, 557) and Roy Krengel (4.9, 545).

Smiles For Life holds a 5.0 across 253 reviews, the largest record among the nine offices rated 5.0. Harmony Dental (4.9, 378 reviews) and S and A Dental (4.8, 257) complete the six highest Dental.me Scores, which hold 2,554 reviews (47%). Six offices combine a 4.8 or higher with 200 or more reviews, so treat them as a shortlist, not a ranking.

Five offices in Bloomington have 500 or more reviews each, so for those the star average rests on a large sample. Read a spread of the reviews themselves on Google, where their dates are shown (Dental.me holds no review dates): how a front desk handled a billing question, whether a treatment plan was explained, how an office responded when something went wrong. A large count tells you how many people reviewed an office, not how the dentistry was done.

What Bloomington’s service lists show

Cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening are the two longest lists, with the same 18 practices on each — about one in three offices in the city.

Next come dental implants at 15 practices, then periodontists and dentures at 9 each, and pediatric dentistry and emergency care at 6 each. The shortest lists are endodontists (4), orthodontists (4, the same four as the Invisalign list), oral surgeons (2) and prosthodontists (1, an office with no rating on file). For an urgent problem, save one of the six emergency numbers before you need it. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. A practice can offer a service without being on a list, so ask the office.

How to choose among highly rated offices

When most rated offices sit in the top band, a method beats a gut call. Here is a four-step filter.

Step two matters here. A 5.0 built on a dozen reviews rests on far fewer opinions than a 4.9 built on 500, so weigh the review count as heavily as the rating. On cost, ask before you sit in the chair, especially for elective work such as whitening. 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.

Step one comes first for a reason. Being on the cosmetic list does not tell you how often an office does a full smile makeover, and an office that is not on the implant list may not place implants at all. Decide whether your visit is routine care, cosmetic work or a restorative case, then filter to the offices on that list (18 cosmetic, 15 implant) and ask each one how often it does your procedure.

Nearby towns

To the south and west, Eden Prairie lists 46 (29 rated), Burnsville 56 (30 rated), Savage 16 (9 rated) and Eagan 49 (29 rated). Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.

Whichever way you go, start from the data. Browse every rated office, filter by the service you need, and compare ratings and review counts side by side on the Bloomington dentist hub; its ratings are Google ratings as Dental.me holds them.

Dental.me organizes dental directory data so patients can compare offices with confidence. Use each practice profile and its available website, map, and phone details for current appointment, payment, and care decisions.
