Finding a good dentist in Corona Del Mar starts with a short, highly rated field: 21 practices operate here, 14 carry a Dental.me rating, and the rated group averages 4.76 stars across 2,329 published reviews. This guide ranks the top offices, maps specialty coverage, and shows exactly where the strongest ratings sit.
The numbers behind Corona Del Mar’s dental market
Corona Del Mar is a compact coastal community inside Newport Beach, strung along Pacific Coast Highway on the Orange County shoreline. Dental.me counts a modest field here: 21 practices in total, of which 14 have collected enough feedback to earn a Dental.me rating. That leaves seven offices unrated on the platform today — Dental.me does not record why — so the rated field is where almost every meaningful comparison happens.
The headline figure is the 4.76-star average across those 14 rated practices. In a directory this size, an average that high means the median office is genuinely strong rather than propped up by one outlier. The 2,329 reviews spread across the rated group work out to roughly 166 reviews per rated practice, though the real distribution is lopsided: a handful of offices carry most of the volume while several sit in double digits. Reading rating and review count together — not either one alone — is the single most useful habit when you compare offices here.
The top-rated dental practices in Corona Del Mar
The table below lists the six practices carrying the most reviews in Corona Del Mar, sorted by rating and then by review volume. Seven offices hold a perfect 5.0; the tiebreaker is how many reviews stand behind that number, which is why a 5.0 with 260 reviews outranks a 5.0 with 15.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spath Dentistry | 5.0 | 260 | View profile |
| Jacqueline Younesi Dentistry | 5.0 | 112 | View profile |
| George Saliba | 5.0 | 15 | View profile |
| Khjavid and Mnadi Dental Corp | 4.9 | 178 | View profile |
| Dr. Tyler Hales | 4.9 | 91 | View profile |
| CDM Dental | 4.8 | 86 | View profile |
Two practices stand out for combining a top rating with real depth of feedback: Spath Dentistry at 5.0 across 260 reviews, and Khjavid and Mnadi Dental Corp at 4.9 across 178. Jacqueline Younesi Dentistry also clears a perfect 5.0 with a triple-digit review count. Offices like George Saliba, with a 5.0 built on 15 reviews, may be an excellent fit — the smaller sample simply means the rating is less settled than a practice with hundreds behind it.
The chart below shows how uneven the review volume is across these six offices, which is exactly why the number-of-reviews column deserves as much attention as the star rating.
How ratings are distributed across the city
Averages hide shape, so it helps to see how the 14 rated practices split into bands. Ten of them sit at 4.8 stars or higher, one lands in the 4.5–4.79 range, three fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and none rate below 4.0. That top-heavy pattern is what pulls the citywide average up to 4.76: the strong tier isn’t one or two offices, it’s the clear majority of the rated field.
Practically, this means the risk of a genuinely weak office is low in Corona Del Mar — there are zero practices below 4.0. Your decision is less about avoiding a bad rating and more about matching the right strong office to your needs, whether that’s a large, deeply-reviewed general practice or a specialist with a narrower focus.
Website coverage and reaching an office
Of the 21 practices, 16 have a website URL on file with Dental.me and five do not. A profile without a website URL isn’t a red flag about the office itself — it only means the platform doesn’t have a site linked to display — but it does change how you’ll research and book. For the 16 with a linked site you can usually check services, hours, and new-patient forms before you call; for the other five, the practice profile page is the most reliable starting point.
Whichever office you’re considering, the Dental.me profile centralizes the rating, review count, and confirmation signals so you’re not piecing the picture together from scattered sources. Start there, then move to the practice’s own site or a phone call to confirm details like insurance and appointment availability.
Specialty care in Corona Del Mar
For anything beyond a routine cleaning, it helps to know how deep the local bench runs by discipline. Corona Del Mar’s specialty coverage is broad: six practices list dental implants, six offer cosmetic dentistry, six provide teeth whitening, and five are associated with periodontics. That overlap means the common specialty needs each have more than one local listing.
You can browse each discipline directly: the dental implants directory for Corona Del Mar, the cosmetic dentists page, and the teeth whitening listings each filter the field to practices offering that service. If you want implants placed and restored, or a smile-makeover consult, starting from the specialty page narrows 21 practices to the handful that actually do the work.
Comparing nearby options around Newport Harbor
Corona Del Mar sits within Newport Beach and borders several other Orange County communities, so it’s easy to widen the search if you don’t find the right fit locally. Immediately adjacent is Newport Coast, just up the hill along the coastline. The larger Newport Beach directory covers the rest of the city that surrounds Corona Del Mar and carries a much bigger roster of practices. Inland, Costa Mesa and Irvine add substantial options within a short drive, and Fountain Valley rounds out the nearby field.
Because Corona Del Mar’s rated field is small — 14 practices — comparing against a neighboring directory is a sensible move when you need a very specific specialist, a particular insurance network, or simply more choices at a given price point. Each of those directory hubs shows the same rating, review, and specialty data structured the same way, so the comparison stays apples to apples.
How to choose the right dentist here
With no practice below 4.0 and ten offices at 4.8 or higher, choosing in Corona Del Mar is a good problem to have. A practical approach: start from the Corona Del Mar directory hub to see all 21 practices in one place, then read rating and review count together rather than chasing the highest star number alone. A 4.9 across 178 reviews reflects a larger sample than a 5.0 across a dozen, even though the raw star figure is lower.
Next, match the office type to your need. If you want a large, general practice with deep feedback, the top of the review-volume chart points the way. If you need implants, cosmetic work, whitening, or periodontal care, jump straight to the relevant specialty page so you’re only comparing offices that provide it. Finally, confirm the practical details — insurance, hours, and new-patient availability — on the practice’s own website where a URL is on file, or through the profile page otherwise. The Dental.me Score is earned from a practice’s own rating, review volume, and office-confirmation signals, never purchased, so the ranking you see reflects those public signals rather than ad spend.
