Finding a good dentist in Carrollton starts with a shortlist, not a search bar. Dental.me tracks 30 dental practices across the city, 19 of them carrying enough patient feedback to earn a rating, and those rated offices average 4.48 stars — a strong local baseline you can hold every candidate against as you decide.
That baseline matters because Carrollton is not a huge dental market. With 30 practices serving the Carroll County seat and the University of West Georgia community around it, you can realistically review every rated office before you ever pick up the phone. This guide walks you through what the local numbers actually say, which practices sit at the top, and how to match an office to your specific needs — a routine cleaning, a cosmetic consult, an implant plan, or care for the whole household.
What the Carrollton numbers tell you
Of the 30 practices Dental.me tracks in Carrollton, 19 have collected enough feedback to be rated, and the way those ratings cluster is unusually encouraging. Ten of the 19 rated offices sit at 4.8 stars or higher, four land in the 4.5–4.79 range, and only three fall below 4.0. In practical terms, more than half of the rated dentists in Carrollton are operating at the top of the scale, so a careful shortlist here is more about matching fit than about screening out weak options.
The other number worth reading early is coverage. Sixteen of the 30 Carrollton practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me, which is a little more than half. A website makes it easier to see services, hours, and a booking form before you call, so when you compare two otherwise similar offices, the one with a listed site often saves you a phone call. The 14 without a URL on file are not lesser practices — they simply haven’t published a page we can point you to, and a quick call still gets you everything you need.
The highest-rated dental practices in Carrollton
Here are the six Carrollton practices leading on the Dental.me Score, ranked by rating and then by review volume. Two of them — Dwight Riley and the practice of Tejal A. Kakade DMD, MAGD, PC — hold a perfect 5.0, and each has done so across hundreds of reviews rather than a handful, which is what makes those scores meaningful. Follow any name through to its profile to see services and the full feedback record.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dwight Riley | 5.0 | 525 | View profile |
| Tejal A. Kakade DMD, MAGD, PC | 5.0 | 349 | View profile |
| Robert Rollings | 4.9 | 208 | View profile |
| Howard Lindsey | 4.9 | 132 | View profile |
| David Forrest | 4.8 | 126 | View profile |
| Peter Balega | 4.8 | 123 | View profile |
Notice the spread in review counts. Dwight Riley’s 525 reviews are the deepest record in the city, while Robert Rollings and Howard Lindsey both hold a 4.9 on a strong but smaller base. A higher rating on more reviews is harder to sustain than the same rating on a few, so when two offices tie on stars, the one with more reviews has cleared a higher bar. Use the table as your starting six, then open the Carrollton dentist directory to see every rated practice beyond this shortlist.
How the Dental.me Score is earned in Carrollton
The score beside each Carrollton practice is earned, never sold. It weighs the star rating, the volume of reviews behind that rating, and whether the office has been confirmed, among other signals — so a 5.0 built on 525 reviews outranks a 5.0 built on five, exactly as it should. The only thing money changes is Featured placement, which is labeled where it appears and never buys a higher score. That distinction is why the ranking above tracks public review history rather than marketing budget.
Carrollton’s 19 rated practices have collected 3,866 reviews between them, and the chart below shows how much of that record sits with the top offices. It is a useful reminder that a rating is only as trustworthy as the number of people behind it.
Matching a Carrollton dentist to what you need
Carrollton’s practices are not interchangeable, and the specialty picture is deeper than a town this size might suggest. Across the market, eight offices list dental implants, seven offer periodontal (gum) care, six do cosmetic work, and six provide teeth whitening. If you are weighing tooth replacement, that pool of implant and periodontal providers means you can compare more than one experienced option locally instead of driving to metro Atlanta.
Let the service you actually need drive your shortlist. If tooth replacement is on the table, start with the Carrollton dental implant providers and cross-reference the Carrollton periodontists, since implants and gum health are closely linked. If your goal is a brighter or reshaped smile, the Carrollton cosmetic dentists are the right filter. Narrowing by specialty first, then by rating, keeps you from booking a general cleaning at an office when what you really wanted was an implant consultation.
Websites, booking, and getting a first appointment
Because 16 of Carrollton’s 30 offices have a website URL on file, your intake path depends partly on which practices make your list. For those with a site, you can usually check services and request an appointment online before you commit, which is convenient if you are juggling a work schedule or coordinating care for a family. For the 14 without a URL on file, a short call covers the same ground — new-patient availability, whether they take your insurance, and how they handle emergencies.
Whichever way you reach out, a few Carrollton-specific questions sharpen the conversation: ask whether the office sees patients from the University of West Georgia and how they handle student schedules, confirm which insurance networks they are in, and — if you need implants or periodontal treatment — ask how many cases like yours they handle in a typical month. The answers help you separate a good general practice from the right one for your particular need. Confirm current details directly with the office, since hours and network participation can change.
Looking just beyond Carrollton
Carroll County is compact, and if the right fit or the right appointment window isn’t in Carrollton itself, several neighboring towns are a short drive away. To the east, dentists in Villa Rica put you closer to the I-20 corridor toward Atlanta. To the north, dentists in Bremen serve the Haralson County line, and just southwest, dentists in Bowdon round out the rural side of the county. Widening your search by one town often opens up an earlier appointment without adding much to the drive.
Start from your own priorities — location, specialty, insurance, and how soon you need to be seen — then let Carrollton’s numbers do the rest of the work. With 19 rated practices, 10 of them at 4.8 stars or better, and a citywide 4.48 average, the odds are strongly in your favor here. Pick two or three names from the ranked table above, open their profiles, confirm the practical details, and book the one that fits. Then return to the full Carrollton dentist directory anytime your needs change.
