Finding a good dentist in Corbin starts with the numbers: the city has 22 dental practices, 13 of them carrying a Google rating, with a 4.18 average across 2,779 total reviews. Six practices hold 4.8 or higher, though two of those rest on 2 reviews or fewer, so compare review counts and check whether a website URL is on file.
What Corbin’s dental numbers actually show
Corbin sits in southeastern Kentucky along Interstate 75, and its dental market is compact enough to survey in a single sitting. Dental.me tracks 22 practices inside the city, and 13 of those carry a Google rating. That leaves nine practices that are listed but unrated, which is not a mark against them; Dental.me does not record why they are unrated. The 13 rated offices average 4.18 across a combined 2,779 reviews. Most rated offices sit well above that average, and three offices below 4.0 pull it down. Because the rated pool is small, a single practice with hundreds of reviews moves the citywide number more than it would in a large metro. The practical takeaway is that averages are a starting point in Corbin, not a verdict. Look past the 4.18 and read each office on its own rating and review count, which is exactly what the table below lets you do.
The top-rated dental practices in Corbin
These are the six practices the Dental.me Score puts first in Corbin, shown in Score order. They are not simply the six highest ratings: two offices hold a 5.0 on 2 reviews and 1 review and sit just outside the six. Three of the six, Travis Coleman, Jeanne E Martin and Katherine Whitaker, have each gathered more than 800 reviews, which tells you their ratings rest on a large number of reviews. Others, like Andrea Walters and S. Adam Tackett, carry high ratings on a smaller review base. Read both columns together: the rating is the average of what reviewers gave, and the review count tells you how many reviews that average rests on.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Katherine Whitaker | 5.0 | 802 | View profile |
| Travis Coleman | 4.9 | 868 | View profile |
| White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics | 4.8 | 171 | View profile |
| Andrea Walters | 4.8 | 45 | View profile |
| Jeanne E Martin, DMD | 4.7 | 803 | View profile |
| S. Adam Tackett, DMD, MS, PLLC | 4.7 | 18 | View profile |
The chart below plots the review counts for these same six practices, so you can see at a glance how differently their scores are anchored.
Where Corbin’s 2,779 reviews are concentrated
One of the most useful things to understand about Corbin’s dental market is how unevenly its feedback is spread. Just three practices, Travis Coleman with 868 reviews, Jeanne E Martin with 803, and Katherine Whitaker with 802, together account for 2,473 of the city’s 2,779 total reviews, or 89%. The remaining 306 reviews are divided among every other rated office, including White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics at 171, Andrea Walters at 45, and S. Adam Tackett at 18. This concentration matters when you read the ratings. A 5.0 or a 4.9 averaged over hundreds of reviews rests on a large sample. A high rating on 18 or 45 reviews is still a positive signal, but it can shift more with each new review. Neither is better in the abstract; they simply rest on different sample sizes, and knowing which is which helps you weigh a name before you book.
Reading a rating against its review count
Corbin offers a clean illustration of why the two numbers belong side by side. Jeanne E Martin and S. Adam Tackett both carry a 4.7 rating, yet one is built on 803 reviews and the other on 18. The rating is identical; the sample behind it is not. The same holds one tier up, where White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics earns its 4.8 across 171 reviews while Andrea Walters earns the same 4.8 on 45. If your priority is a deep review record, lean toward the offices with hundreds of reviews near the top of the table. If you are open to a highly rated practice with fewer reviews, the smaller-count offices are well worth a call. The point is never to dismiss a practice for having fewer reviews, only to read its rating for what it is, an average that grows more settled the more reviews stand behind it.
How Corbin’s rating bands break down
Grouping the 13 rated practices into bands makes the shape of the market clear. Six practices land at 4.8 or higher, two sit in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, two fall between 4.0 and 4.49 (on 13 reviews and 4), and three come in under 4.0. That bottom band is the reason the citywide average settles at 4.18 rather than closer to the top cluster. Nearly half of Corbin’s rated offices are in the highest band, but two of those six rest on 2 reviews and 1, so four of them carry a high rating on 45 reviews or more, and all four are in the table above. The three under 4.0 rest on 49 reviews, 2 and 1; read those closely rather than ruling them out, since a rating built on one or two reviews says very little.
Rated versus unrated
Of Corbin’s 22 listed practices, 13 carry a Google rating and nine do not. When a practice shows no rating, Dental.me does not record why, and it says nothing about quality either way. If one of those nine is near you or takes your insurance, it is still worth a call; you will just be relying on your own questions rather than a rating. The donut below shows how much of the local market is currently rated, which is a useful gauge of how much the numbers on this page can actually tell you.
Website access when you are choosing a practice
Ten of Corbin’s 22 practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me, and 12 do not. A website gives you somewhere to read about an office’s services before you call. Its absence is only that, a missing URL in the directory, and not a judgment about the office. Every Corbin profile carries a phone number (22 of 22), and a call is the direct way to confirm whether a dentist takes your insurance. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. When you do reach an office, a short checklist helps: confirm they are accepting new patients, ask which insurance plans they file, and note whether they handle the specific work you need done in-house or refer it out.
How the Dental.me Score works
The star ratings on this page are Google ratings; the Dental.me Score is our own ranking, and it is earned rather than sold. The Score weighs a practice’s Google rating, the volume of reviews behind that rating, and whether the office’s details have been confirmed, so that a 5.0 built on 800 reviews is read differently from a 5.0 built on a handful. That weighting is why the table follows the Score and why review count sits right beside the rating. Only Featured placement can be paid for; a practice cannot buy a higher Score or move up the rankings with money. When you compare Katherine Whitaker’s 5.0 against Travis Coleman’s 4.9, you are looking at two offices whose ratings are each averaged over more than 800 reviews, and the small gap between them matters far less than the fact that both are well above the citywide 4.18 average.
