Dental.me lists 945 dental practices in Dallas, and the 376 of them with a stored Google rating account for 100,361 Google reviews. The other 569 have no stored rating. With a list this long, the hard part is rarely finding an office near you; it is deciding which few to call.

This guide works through the directory’s own numbers — ratings, review counts, websites on file and service pages — and says plainly what each one can and cannot tell you. Everything below comes from the same data as the Dental.me Dallas directory.

One caution before the numbers. A map search shows pins and stars, and it is tempting to pick the closest office that looks fine. That skips two things the stars do not show: how many reviews stand behind each rating, and the 569 listed Dallas practices that have no stored rating at all. Dental.me does not record why a rating is missing, so a blank rating says nothing about the quality of care in either direction; it only means there is less to compare before you call.

The Dallas list at a glance

Each of those numbers means something narrower than it first appears. The 100,361 reviews belong to the 376 rated offices only — about 267 per rated practice on average, and 218 of the 376 carry 100 or more — so a rating here often rests on a substantial record, but not always. A website is on file for 359 of the 945 practices (38%): 346 of the 376 rated practices, but only 13 of the 569 unrated ones. A missing website in our records does not mean the office has none, and a website is not a measure of the care inside.

What the ratings say, and what they don’t

Dallas’s rated practices average 4.70 stars, and the average hides a spread. Of the 376 rated practices, 267 (71%) hold 4.8 stars or higher. Below that, 54 (14%) sit between 4.5 and 4.79 and 32 (9%) between 4.0 and 4.49, and 23 (6%) sit below 4.0.

With seven in ten rated offices at 4.8 or higher, the star rating alone will not separate many Dallas offices from one another, and some of those ratings rest on very little. Of the 126 Dallas listings holding a stored 5.0, 45 rest on ten or fewer reviews, and 1 other rating of 4.8 or higher rests on so few. At the other end, 11 of the 23 ratings below 4.0, and 3 of the 32 between 4.0 and 4.49, rest on ten or fewer reviews. A handful of new reviews can move any of those ratings a long way, so read each rating together with the number of reviews behind it.

That cuts both ways. A 4.5 on several hundred reviews is a steadier record than a 5.0 on six, and a low rating on three reviews is thin evidence against an office. Neither end of the scale is a reason on its own to rule an office in or out; what reviewers actually wrote tells you more than the star count. Dental.me does not store review dates, so check on Google how recent the reviews are.

Where the review volume sits

The five most-reviewed offices together hold 13,703 of Dallas’s 100,361 Google reviews (14%): COCKRELL HILL DENTAL, PLLC (5.0 stars, 3,799 reviews), Midtown Family Dentistry (4.9, 3,571), BUCKNER MARKET PLACE DENTAL, P.A. (4.9, 2,661), SPRING VALLEY CROSSING DENTAL, P.A. (4.8, 1,952) and PS DENTAL PLLC (5.0, 1,720). The most-reviewed office holds about 3.8% of the city’s reviews.

Among the 50 Dallas offices holding a stored 5.0 on 100 or more reviews, six carry the most reviews — 9,116 between them: Cockrell Hill Dental, PLLC (3,799), PS Dental PLLC (1,720), Stanley Ngo, D.D.S., P.A. (1,037), Darren Crosbie (928), Shwarts Family Dentistry (821) and Smile Kingdom Dental & Orthodontics (811).

A 5.0 on 3,799 reviews is a steadier record than a 5.0 on fifteen, because a few new reviews barely move it. It is still a record of what Google reviewers posted, not a measure of clinical quality. Those same six offices also hold the six highest Dental.me Scores: Cockrell Hill Dental, PS Dental and Stanley Ngo hold the top three, and Darren Crosbie, Shwarts Family Dentistry and Smile Kingdom Dental & Orthodontics share the fourth-highest Score, ordered by review count.

What Dallas’s service pages list

Dental.me groups each city’s practices into service pages. A listing on a service page means the practice’s profile is associated with that service; it is not a board certification, and it does not tell you how much of that work an office does. In Dallas the longest pages are dental implants (223 practices), teeth whitening (188) and orthodontics and Invisalign (186 each), followed by cosmetic dentistry (180).

Pediatric dentistry lists 135 practices, periodontics 127, emergency 114, dentures 97, oral surgery 82, endodontics (root canals) 74 and prosthodontics 31. These counts are practice profiles, not a headcount of specialists. Dental.me does not hold appointment availability, after-hours coverage or insurance participation, so call to confirm that an office performs the specific procedure you need, is taking new patients and works with your plan.

To browse by service, start from the Dallas dental implant page, the orthodontics and Invisalign pages, cosmetic dentistry or pediatric dentistry. The Dallas emergency dental page lists offices whose profiles are associated with emergency care; save one’s number and confirm its hours before you need it, and for severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or trouble breathing, go to an emergency room.

A way to narrow the list

With a list this long, it helps to work in layers:

1. Start with need. Pick the service page that matches the job rather than the nearest pin.
2. Weigh depth. Inside that list, read each rating together with its review count, and read a sample of the reviews themselves. A 4.9 on 800 reviews is a steadier record than a 5.0 on eight.
3. Do not rule out unrated offices on that basis alone. An unrated listing is a question mark, not a red flag; a recommendation from someone you trust is worth weighing alongside any online rating.
4. Check the practical fit — location, and how easy the office is for you to reach at the times you would go. Where a website is on file, it can help you check services before you call; confirm hours and insurance with the office itself.
5. Call two, not one. Ask whether the office is taking new patients and for a written estimate before major work. Dental.me does not hold fee schedules for Dallas offices, and our national dental cost guide gives no price ranges either, so the figure to compare is each office’s written estimate.
