Citrus Heights runs a small, tightly rated dental market whose reviews concentrate in a few offices. We track 67 practices inside the city limits, but the story lives in the reviews. Across the 41 offices with a published rating, people have left 7,654 reviews — and a single practice, Citrus Heights Dental, carries 1,703 of them on its own. That is roughly 22% of every review in town pointing at one address. When one office accounts for more than a fifth of a city’s collective feedback, it tells you where the city’s reviews are concentrated, not which office is better.
Below we break down what the numbers show, which specialty categories hold the most (and fewest) listings, the highly rated listings with the most reviews, and a method for choosing the right office for your situation.
Across the 41 rated offices, the mean is roughly 187 reviews per practice, but the reviews are not spread evenly: the ten most-reviewed listings hold 5,837 of the 7,654 (76%), while 25 of the 41 rest on fewer than 100 reviews and 10 on 10 or fewer. Read each rating beside its own review count.
A snapshot of the Citrus Heights market
The headline average — 4.69 stars across rated practices — is a plain mean of the 41 ratings, not weighted by review count, and averages hide the shape of a market. What matters more is the spread, the concentration of reviews, and how many offices have a website on file. 37 of the 67 practices have a website on file, a little over half. Dental.me does not record why the other 30 have none, and a missing website says nothing about the care; it just means you call to ask your questions.
The other number in the snapshot is the ratio of rated to unrated offices. With 41 of 67 practices carrying a Google rating, 26 offices carry none; Dental.me does not record why. That gap changes how you should search. Filtering for a minimum rating instantly removes more than a third of the field before you have compared anything meaningful, so start from the rated list, and call an unrated office directly if one is near you.
How good is “good” here? Read the rating spread
Among the 41 rated offices, ratings cluster hard at the top. 28 practices sit at 4.8 stars or higher — 68% of the rated listings. Another 6 land in the 4.5–4.79 band, 6 more in the 4.0–4.49 range, and only 1 falls below 4.0, a 1.0 on a single review. With most rated listings in the top band, the star rating alone will not separate them, so compare fit, hours, specialty and review count.
The most-reviewed listings
These are the nine Citrus Heights listings rated 4.8 or higher with the most Google reviews, in order. One listing with more reviews than most of them sits below that cut: Jeffries Dental (4.6, 514 reviews), the fifth-most-reviewed in town.
- Citrus Heights Dental — 4.8 stars across 1,703 reviews. No other local listing has even 600. A 4.8 over that many reviews is a different kind of signal than a 5.0 over fifty: it rests on a far larger sample that a few new reviews barely move.
- Almond Orchard Dental Care — 4.9 stars, 593 reviews.
- Weideman Professional Dental Corporation — 4.9 stars, 568 reviews.
- Everlast Dental — 4.9 stars, 560 reviews.
- Sacramento Natural Dentistry (Citrus Heights) — 4.8 stars, 436 reviews.
- New Vision Dentistry — 4.8 stars, 397 reviews.
- Nor Cal Orthodontics — 5.0 across 310 reviews, the most behind any of the city’s 15 listings at 5.0; an orthodontic practice by its name.
- BAL Dental — 4.8 stars, 302 reviews.
- Man Family Dental (Dr. Alister Man, DMD) — 5.0 stars, 176 reviews.
Notice the pattern the data draws: a 4.8 on 1,703 reviews and a 5.0 on 176 are both in the top band, but one rests on nearly ten times the reviews. Which matters more depends on what you need done — which brings us to the specialties.
It is also worth naming what the leaderboard does not show. Below these nine names sit 32 more rated listings, and 19 of them are rated 4.8 or higher. Being outside the top handful is not a red flag — a dentist with fewer total reviews is not necessarily worse, and Dental.me does not record why a count is low. That is exactly why review volume should be a tiebreaker, not a gatekeeper: use it to separate two highly rated listings, not to dismiss one that has fewer reviews.
Specialty listings in Citrus Heights
Each count is the number of Citrus Heights listings in that specialty category. The most are in teeth whitening (23), cosmetic dentistry (22) and dental implants (18). Periodontists (14) and emergency dentists (12) follow. The smallest are pediatric dentists (5) and dentures (6), so families with young kids or patients needing dentures have fewer local listings and may look one town over. A listing in a category does not tell you about wait times or whether an office is taking new patients.
If you already know what you need, jump straight to the local lists: cosmetic dentists, dental implants, orthodontists, emergency dentists, pediatric dentists, or periodontists.
A method for choosing, tuned to this city
Because Citrus Heights is small and top-heavy, the usual “just pick a 5-star office” advice is too blunt — most rated offices here are highly rated. Use the market’s own shape to narrow it down instead:
Run those four filters in order to narrow the 67-office field to a short list. Start from the full, up-to-date roster on the Citrus Heights dentist hub, where every practice is ranked by Dental.me Score.
If you look just outside town
Citrus Heights sits in a dense ring of suburbs, so widening your search brings more listings into range. That is especially worth doing for the thinner specialties — pediatric care, dentures, or a specific endodontist. Neighboring options worth comparing include Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Carmichael, Gold River, North Highlands, and Antelope.
Wherever you land, ask about cost. 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. And if you want to see every listing side by side, the Citrus Heights hub is the fastest way to compare them all in one place.
