Finding a good dentist in Chesterfield, Virginia starts with the numbers: the directory lists 22 practices, 14 of them rated, together carrying a 4.49 average across 2,166 reviews on file. Sort those offices by rating, check how many reviews stand behind each score, then confirm a practice near you before you call.
Chesterfield County sits directly south of Richmond, and its dental market is neither tiny nor sprawling. Twenty-two practices is a manageable field to work through in an afternoon, and because 14 of them already carry a star rating, you have real signal to sort by rather than a wall of unrated names. This guide walks through what those numbers mean, which offices rate highest, and how to narrow the field to a shortlist you can actually call.
How Chesterfield’s 22 practices break down
Start with the shape of the directory. Of the 22 dental practices listed across Chesterfield, 14 have accumulated enough feedback to hold a rating, while eight are listed but not yet rated. The rated group averages 4.49 stars, which is a solid county-wide baseline, and collectively those offices carry 2,166 reviews. That review pool is heavily concentrated: a single high-volume practice accounts for roughly half of it, so a raw star average alone can be misleading until you look at how many people stand behind each score.
The eight unrated practices are not necessarily weaker offices. A listing with no rating simply hasn’t gathered public feedback yet, which is common for newer offices, specialty practices, or ones whose patients rarely leave reviews. Treat them as “unknown,” not “avoid,” and if a location is convenient for you, it is worth a call even without a star score attached.
The top-rated dental offices in Chesterfield
Here are the six best-reviewed practices in the directory, sorted by rating and then by review volume. Two offices hold a perfect 5.0, and the practice with the deepest review history sits just behind them at 4.8. Use the profiles to check hours, contact details, and the full review breakdown before you decide.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feinstein 360 Orthodontics | 5.0 | 261 | View profile |
| Kristina Dentistry | 5.0 | 188 | View profile |
| Timothy Breeden | 4.9 | 122 | View profile |
| Bright Smiles Dental | 4.8 | 1,099 | View profile |
| Riccobene & Associates CC, DDS, PC | 4.8 | 126 | View profile |
| Dental Care at Cosby Village | 4.7 | 181 | View profile |
A perfect 5.0 is impressive, but read it alongside the review count. Feinstein 360 Orthodontics holds its 5.0 across 261 reviews, and Kristina Dentistry across 188, so both scores rest on a meaningful sample. Bright Smiles Dental takes a different path to trust: at 4.8 stars over 1,099 reviews, it has by far the deepest feedback record in the county, which is its own kind of reassurance for anyone who wants a large, consistent track record.
What the rating bands tell you
Grouping the 14 rated practices into bands makes the county’s quality distribution clear. Six practices sit at 4.8 stars or higher, three land in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, three fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and two rate below 4.0. In other words, nine of the 14 rated offices clear 4.5 stars, which is why the county-wide 4.49 average holds up so well.
The practical read is that Chesterfield rewards a little sorting. With six offices at 4.8 or above, you can build a strong shortlist without leaving the top band, and the two practices under 4.0 are easy to set aside or scrutinize more closely before booking. Bands compress a lot of individual scores into a single glance, so use them to decide how wide to cast your net, then drill into individual profiles for the detail.
Website access and the review pool
Of the 22 listed practices, 10 have a website URL on file in the directory. That does not mean the other 12 lack a website in real life; it only means no site is recorded in the listing, so you may need to reach them by phone or find them through the practice profile rather than a direct link. When you are comparing offices online, the ten with a URL on file are simply faster to research from your couch.
Review depth is the other axis worth weighing, because it varies enormously from office to office. The 2,166 reviews in the county are not spread evenly. When you line up the six top-rated practices by review count, one office towers over the rest, and several strong practices earn high scores on a few hundred reviews or fewer. Neither pattern is inherently better; a large volume signals a long, consistent history, while a smaller, high count still reflects a real and current picture.
Neighboring options near Chesterfield
Chesterfield does not exist in isolation. It shares borders and short drives with several other communities in the Richmond metro, and each has its own directory of practices. If your shortlist thins out, or a great office simply sits closer to a neighboring town than to your corner of the county, it is worth crossing the line.
Immediately adjacent, dentists in Chester and practices in North Chesterfield cover the eastern and northern edges of the county. To the west, Midlothian’s dental listings serve the growing communities along Route 60. South of the county line, Colonial Heights practices add another cluster of options, and to the north the much larger Richmond directory opens up the full city market if you are willing to drive in. Because these directories use the same rating and review system, you can compare a Midlothian office against a Chesterfield one on identical terms.
Building your shortlist
Put the pieces together into a simple process. First, decide how wide to go: with six Chesterfield practices at 4.8 stars or higher, most people can stay inside the top band and still have real choice. Second, weigh rating against review depth. A 5.0 across a couple hundred reviews and a 4.8 across more than a thousand are both defensible, so choose the balance that reassures you. Third, factor in location, using the neighboring directories above if the county’s own field is thin near you.
From there, open two or three Chesterfield practice profiles and look past the headline number. Check whether a website URL is on file if you prefer to research online, read a sample of recent reviews for the specifics that matter to you, and confirm the office handles the kind of care you need. A practice can rate beautifully overall and still not offer a particular treatment, so verify fit before you commit. Once two or three offices clear that bar, calling to confirm availability and insurance is the final, quick step.
The advantage of working from the directory is that you are comparing on consistent, transparent signals rather than guesswork. Rating, review volume, and whether an office is confirmed all feed the Dental.me Score, so a high-scoring Chesterfield practice has earned that standing across multiple measures at once. That is a far stronger starting point than a single review or a name a neighbor happened to mention.
How the Dental.me Score works
Every rated practice in Chesterfield carries a Dental.me Score, and it is worth understanding what sits behind it. The Score weighs a practice’s star rating, the volume of reviews behind that rating, and whether the office has confirmed its listing, among other signals, into a single measure you can sort by. It is designed so that a strong rating backed by many reviews counts for more than a strong rating backed by only a handful.
Two things are worth stating plainly. The Score is earned, never sold: a practice cannot pay to raise it, and no amount of spending moves a rating that patients determine. Only Featured placement can be paid for, and that is a labeled slot, entirely separate from the ranking itself. When you sort Chesterfield’s practices and see Feinstein 360 Orthodontics or Kristina Dentistry near the top, that position reflects the public review record, weighed consistently against every other office in the county.
